HELP!

Maybe put out an ad on Craigslist that you want to rent an amp until you can get this sorted out? I have a Markbass Lilttle Mark Tube 800 just sitting on the shelf but I'm in Cleveland. Someone may help you out in the short term.
 
Have you called Downtown Sounds in Northampton? They may be able to ship the Little Mark somewhere to get an authorized repair. If not, Jane at the Luthier's Co-op in Easthampton can probably recommend a good repair person in the area (tell her Ian's friend Andy sent you).

If you're just going to get a new amp, I have had a GK MB-500 for years and it has never failed. It's got that bright GK sound, so if that's what you're after, the MB-500 is rock-solid and would make a good choice.

Kudos for the GK! MB500, no less!
