Ya know, I have had my F1 for well over a year now and I really never messed with the VLE at all. Until last night!
I typically set my F1 by boosting the bass around the 1:00 position, the VPF set around 9:00 and everything else set to 12:00 (or flat).
I had a fresh set of Sadowsky Blue label SS strings on my NYC Standard 5 and it was sounding very bright and clicky at the room I played. (F1 into an Epi UL2-410) I rarely use the VTC on my bass so I thought I would try the VLE on the F1 to see how that would work.
I set it around the 9:00 position and it cut the harshness out perfectly. There was plenty of definition and the right amount of high end to cut through the mix as it usually does. I cant believe I haven't tried it before???
Anyways, the story is after many months rockin' the Markbass F1 I am still finding things that I love about this amp!
Now, I am GASing to try the F500 for those sweet features missing from the F1. Bravo, Marco and team!

Just fired up my LMIII and goodness gracious is this thing LOUD! And I was only running it at 8ohms! Wow!
Just got back from GC and I got a killer deal on a NY604!
I added it to my MiniMark that I got earlier this year.
Sounds a lot more full now. I really like it!

I have the same rig and if you haven't done it yet, try putting the Minimark under the NY604 (oriented the same as you have it). I've done a couple of gigs that way and the difference was pretty blatant.
i am still thinking of a pair of those 604's...i was really impressed with what i heard with just one...i'm sure GC will be having a sale soon 
Hi Guys, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have 2 MB combos & absolutely LOVE them. A CMD 121P & a CMD 151P. The 15 I Purchased new 2 years ago, the 12 I purchased from a fellow TBer last spring. They both sound great....but the 12 seems to have lost it's tweeter. I've sent 3 support requests through the MB website & haven't gotten a reply.
Is this a common problem (the tweeter or possibly the crossover)?
If so is there an obvious fix? I've tried searching for a replacement online, but haven't had much luck.
Anyone?
Please?
Bill

Bill, you might try PMing Peter Murray, who is the Markbass rep here. I bet he could point you in the right direction.
Are those the settings that you use?
When I tried out a LM II, I found it to be a little to honky with my Tri210L. I haven't plugged my LM III into it (or my Tri110) but figured it would sound the same. I'll have to move some speaker cables around next time I'm in the bassment.
2 inch tweeter, right? they're not common but keep looking...they're out there. but before you buy, check inside and make sure the tweeter is hooked up to the crossover. could be a loose wire.
Quite handsome Torin! The minimalist, no-knob approach on your bass is cool!
Why thank you kind sir.
I thought if I really wanted the tone / vol controls it would be simple enough to add them in later. As it stands, I dont miss them at all. Its a one trick pony, but boy what a trick!

Hi Gentlemen from the Lowend!

Any specific questions? Its a wonderful amp, but we have to know what info you might need in order to be helpful.
Also, the TB search feature may prove useful to you.
