Official Markbass Club

[Vic]

In anger means at a gig not a rehearsal or playing at home/in the shop.

Ashdown ABM 2x10 with retro fit Ashdown (Jensen) Neo speakers (500w compared to the original 300w), rear ported.

Full rig used below (DI box conveniently used as a mute for tuning through the parallel output)

Thanks! I never heard that before. Nice rig, btw.

That Yamaha power amp looks like it's no lightweight.

Here's a minirig that roars!

 

[Vic]

I should also mention that we have recently passed the Sadowsky Club in membership. Woo hoo!

 

[dannster]

My 2 week special order rack ears for my F1?
Today they tell me it will be another 2 weeks.

Grrrr!

Although on the last gig it was pretty amusing to wrap my bass amp in a bath towel and stuff it in my bag.

 

[SamsonWade46]

2x15 swr

Absolutely... is this a number request? I don't want to sound stupid, but some folks aren't into the number deal, so I look for a pretty explicit request for a number.

 

[SamsonWade46]

Just wanted to share a really positive Markbass story with the club. I only bought my head the other day and got a special deal as the face plate said LM 250 whilst the rear plate said LM II, I was assured that it was an LM II. Anyway I can be kind of cynical and distrusting so I emailed Markbass in Italy and asked them if they could tell from the serial number. Long story short they just telephoned me and asked me to check the number of heat sinks in the head (you can see them through the vents), there are 2 which means that it is an LM II. This is the kind of service I could get used to, I've never had a manufacturer call me, it's normally all email or I have to call them (repeatedly in some cases). Having used the head at rehearsal yesterday I am not only super impressed with the product, but also with the company. It's good to know that MB owners have that kind of support behind them.

ditto on the cust. sevice, I wanted to know why it wont go two 2ohm and with in the day I had a email describing in depth why

sorry, yes this is diffinatly a # request

Well, considering the narrower consumer profile the Sadowsky products are aimed for I'd guess this should be expected. But hey, anyway you look at it, it is an accomplishment worth mentioning

True, but the offset is Sadowsky has been in business since the late 80's.

You're right tho... no matter what, at some point it was destiny.

 

[Vic]

yes this is diffinitely a # request

Cool.
