I started on a classical guitar when I was 16 (late, I know...). Not intending to play in a band whatsoever. For fun I once tuned down the strings as far as I could still hear them. Put my ear on the body to hear those low notes, and I was sold. Used to playing with my fingers, not a pick, it...

All true, take any amp that makes the right combination with your style, playing, bass and cab. One thing though: I switched from a Dynacord tube amp to a Markbass LMIII ago and couldn't be happier. I played on am Ampeg SVT stack on stages too a couple a times and as a 5 stringer, I noticed...

Hello, I bought the 4 ohm cab. I took my Yamaha BB415, Little Mark and my 8 ohm cab to the seller to do a side-by-side comparison. To me, the 4 ohm cab sounded better, clearer. But this one was front ported whereas my own cab was rear ported. So that might be the greatest influence. I know...

Hello, Since a few months I own a Markbass Little Mark III. I'm using it now with my 8 ohm Peavey 410 TX cab, so I'm not using the LMIII's full 500 watt (at 4 ohm). So I might get me a used 4 ohm 410 TXF, which is specified at 350 watt continu, 700 watt peak. Do you think that's enough? I...

I have a dead spot around the 7th fret on the D-string on my converted to fretless Richwood Stingray 5 copy. Changed the stock strings to D'Addario halfrounds, still the same. I did some experiments with clamps on the headstock, but these only shifted the dead spot to another note. It's not that...

Maybe I'm joining;) Ordered an LMIII last week. Tested a 250 watt LMII last week with my Peavey 410TX cab. Great sound! Can't wait for the LMIII to come in. My cab is 8 ohms, but already loud enough. I thought I'd find some headroom in the 500 watts LMIII. I may change the cab in the future...

Hi, I ordered a Markbass Little Mark III last week. I tested the 250 watt Mark II version with my Peavey 410TX cab, and was already impressed with that one. Got disappointed with an Ampeg PF-500. Can't wait for the 500 watt Little Mark III to come in! Cheers, Theodoor

Hi Dymond, The shop has three separate small rooms of four square metres each where you can test till you drop without bothering other customers. Now, cranking an amp sure isn't my ultimate goal, I still have good hearing and like to keep it that way. I tried lots of EQ settings on the PF500...

Today I went to my shop to test the long-awaited PF-500 on my Peavey 410 TX cab. I really WANTED to be crazy about this amp but I was just.... disappointed. A loud fan, lots of hiss even with the tweeter of my cab turned down, and when I cranked the master volume I heard a noise like a vacuum...

Hello, Two years ago we joined a band competition over here in Holland called "The Clash Of The Coverbands". We made it to the finals, didn't win, but got to play in some great venues we were never got before. One video of an intermediate round in 013, Tilburg (there are more) Playing a...

Seems like my little Laney combo has got to push the big Peavey cab some more rehearsals... The closest shop (Feedback, Eindhoven, NL) had one PF500 in stock yesterday and it was sold today. New stash coming in in 2-3 weeks. Maybe that's not so bad if apparently the first batches of PF500s had...

Oh yeah, I read somewhere about some PF500s having noisy fans. I don't think that's going to be a problem on a stage, but in a studio? Thanx again, Theodoor

Hello Everybody, My first post... Yes, yes, I'm really interested in a PF500. My beloved old Dynacord BA300 tube head died last year. Forgood, according to my tech. So I'm in need for something new. I wonder if the PF500 would go with my Peavey 410TX cab from the mid-90s? It's 8 ohm, 350...
