One knob... I like it.

[5StringBlues]

I could remove all the knobs on my Markbass LM except the gain and volume and be fine.


I do like being able to put the low-mid knob up one notch for Jazz basses tho.

Not my picture, but this was the first amp I ever had. Ran into a Fender 1x15.

In my fantasy, I want it BIG though...

rack sized, at least three, maybe four spaces tall,

a massive, plain-ass faceplate,

with one chicken head knob.

 

[Slevage]

If only one knob, it should go to eleven.

Lots of PA amps come with one knob, and have flat response. A caution, though:

It's unlikely that, when you set the eq knobs all to noon, that your bass amp has flat response. Most have a scooped eq, and if you get an amp that is flat, you probably won't like it.

Yes, this is absolutely correct.

But this isn't just about me; the question remains,

what more do Y'ALL need,

minimum.

Well, since you asked....

I went the other way. I finally found "my amp" when I went with MORE knobs. The best part? It's actually quite simple. Sure, it has lots of options. But, once I got it dialed in (which really didn't take very long) I was all set. Never going back.

I'll just leave this here...

maybe it should be what less do y'all need?

I don't even need one knob on the amp, cuz I haven't played through an amp in years!

A SWR Mo'Bass is probably out of the question then...

Could always try and convince Joe Dart to get a signature one-knob amp made to go with his bass...

 

[Andy Marshman]

I'm not in the majority when it comes down to 'what do ya need?'. I would gladly settle for a single Vol knob on the amp and control everything else from the bass (which ideally has only 1 Vol and 1 Tone).
Once set, I rarely touch the amp settings all night.

 

[S-Bigbottom]

Go knobless, go DI.


(actually, my DI has a gain and volume knob, guess I am up a knob.)

 

[BargeOn]

Moar knobs = moar tone.

Yeah.
Tone is in the knobs.

That was my scenario in the OP...

the head was already dialed in, internally...

one knob left.

Maybe there's a common setting that everyone can share where it can be done commercially...

or maybe one can custom order those setting...

I'm trying not to make this too complicated.

Thank you sir.

I can't see that too clearly...

but something looks really big and really baddass back there on that cab.

Best amp I've ever own (in over 50 years).
