I just got my MarkBass CMD 102P NIB two weeks ago. I got it in Dallas for 15% off. I had the exact same parameters as you. The MarkBass CMD 102P really sounds good.

I started with a USA made Backline 110. I blew the speaker without ever even gigging or playing loud. I was using it in a bedroom. I replaced it the a USA made Backline 210. The speakers lasted but the sound quality was lacking. I recently concluded a search for another combo. I ended...

The SWR Spellbinder has a 10" neo speaker by Eminence. Does anyone know where the speaker is made? Is it US, China, Taiwan, etc? Same question for the tweeter. Thanks, Ken

Yes, its bubinga. I had an ash one in the past and didn't like the softness of the wood. I've already waxed it twice.

That might be the case. It wasn't that long ago that Warwicks shot way up in price due to the exhange rate.

I've got to gloat, sorry. I went to GC in Dallas last Friday to use a $15 card. I saw a Warwick Bubinga Corvette Active selling for $699. I bought it the next day. The shipping tags on it's gig bag had a 12/2/08 ship date. That means GC must have just received it, for me to be able to...

I wanted to share my impressions of the Sonic Research Turbo Tuner HT-200, for anyone considering a tuner. I have owned the Boss TU-2, a Planet Waves tuner, StroboStomp, StroboStomp2 and the new DigiTech HT-2. Boss: Well built as everyone knows, but it is an older model that has been...

I've added a DigiTech RP250 to my arsenal to provide some of my lessor needed effects. It seems much better in design and sound than the older BP200. I'm hoping that DigiTech overhauls the BP series sometime. They have really improved the new RP series. Anyway the DigiTech manual says...

I was very disappointed in it and the ME-20B. The distortions seemed lacking to me. And you don't have much flexibility on the effects. The GT-6B was a lot more flexible and had much better tone. Try the new DigiTech RP500. Yes, it's a guitar pedal, but it sounds great with Bass. It's...

Try "The Button" tube overdrive. I got one yesterday and have tried it on both my Mustang and my Sterling HS. It can go from a very light and smooth overdrive to a very heavy fuzz. It cost about $30 more than the Sansamp, but it is great! I also have a Bass-Drive Mosfet and TurboRAT. I've...

Well I've been playing with my new toy, TubeDepot "The Button" Overdrive Pedal, for about an hour now. I have A/B/C'd The Button against the Bass-Drive Mosfet and the TurboRAT. All are somewhat different sounding. It has a lot more bottom end than the TurboRAT but not as much as the...

I cycle through yes to effects and then no to them. I think that I am migrating to the idea of using a few effects sparingly. From my experience, overusage of effects start to put me in the guitarist territory. When I think about the type of music I enjoy best it is where the bass is pretty...

I completely forgot about EH's line of tube pedals. I tried the English Muffin over a year ago. It had too much noise for my liking. I'm also not a huge fan of EH products. It's hard to top products like the Fulltone Bass-Drive and TurboRAT. FYI, I can get a really great sound running the...

Is out for delivery on the FedEx truck. This one is supposed to work well with bass as well as guitar. I have searched a lot for a tube pedal that runs at full voltage. This is the only new one that I could find that is USA made. ALl of the other ones I could find run in a starved tube mode...

I've gone through many Fender basses always finding quality problems that I didn't like. I've had 4 new American Standards, along with a variety of MIMs and CIJs. I tried the Mustang two times and was disappointed with bad fret work with one and a nut that was cut too low on the other. I...
