Sweet rigs! I will also add that my .5k has seen a lot of gig time, and it has plenty of power on tap. Love that head!

I have seen the 1.5 and I (understand/heard/as it appears/apparently) it should be in the 1899 range...or so.
Echoing this observation, based on subbing a Genz Benz Shuttlemax 9.2 into a 6.2-saddled 1-12 cabinet. Yeah, I couldn't be stupid about volume, but the improvement in ease and authority, at low to medium volume, was undeniable...and wonderful!
There is a guy on here who swears by the old A/B Class Little Mark head.

I had a V1 Little Mark II that I really loved for everything except punchy/modern 70’s J type stuff, it was just a bit too “syrupy” for that. But for fretless and P bass, man it was addictively good sounding, if a bit underpowered. When they brought out the tube and tube 800, it felt more sterile and 2d. I felt like the OG LM2 was more tubey than the early “tube” models in terms of envelope and touch sensitivity. I haven’t played any new mark bass stuff in years so I have no idea what it’s like these days but I have really fond memories of that amp, and the F1/ F500

Thanks, I really like how the radiused covers came out. Its gently sloped so its not super obvious but has a nice gentle curve to it.
The initial offerings will be 4 and 5 string and I beleve the 5 string single, hum cancelling single and dual coil will be available in 18 and 19 mm.

I know it may be a bit, but roughly when will information on the pickups hit the Trickfish website? After NAMM? Later this spring?
I’m only asking because 99% of my current questions will be answered once it’s on the website….

We're shooting for shipping to start at the beginning of March, so hopefully once the NAMM chaos is behind us, we can focus on getting the website all up to date with the new offerings and full details and options. In the meantime, feel free to post questions or contact us for info.

indeed there is! We'll be revealing it at NAMM officially, but I may be able to share it here as a sneak preview. Will leep you posted!
What common sizes are coming? I’d assume p and j. Did Mike Pope have input?
Course I should quit worrying about pickups and save for an amp…

Actually, the Show starts Thursday. There are some educational events, etc. which start tomorrow.
I have a set of 4 string BC Trickfish dual coils going into a new Cliff Bordwell build that is in production, and I think the pickups have already shipped to Cliff. It is due this early Spring, so I hope to be able to give the new wood with these beautiful new pickups a few gigs and feel them out soon and come back and talk about sound/dance about architecture! 
Seriously though, super honored to get to be in on one of the first sets of these.
And anyone on the fence about the new Light series? Just do it! The Mini 12 L is a lovely, juicy, fat cabinet that is a breeze to lift. Plus, the new cabinet covers feel super protective, thick, and kind of luxuriously guilty-feeling in a "Did I really need to order that extra chocolate souffle?" kind of way...
They're AWESOME!

Now, as another business side model, you can start selling all the kidneys and other trade-in requests you'll get for the new 1.5....
