Lol!!!

It stopped working after very little home use - I thought about selling it because wasn't getting any use.

They won't replace it.

Well, how old was it when it gave up the ghost?? You won't get much for an amp that doesn't work. May be worth the fix..

The OP is notable by his absence. It feels like this thread was flame bait. Markbass probably increased its production quantities many times over when it moved production to Indonesia, hence the increase in reported issues. I've read many many more reports of problems with Ampeg amplifiers but wouldn't stoop to calling out its products as poor quality.

The OP has a life outside of TB.

I have been off TB for quite a while - I am glad nothing has changed.

You became a member a little over a year ago. How long could you have been "off"?

 

[Peteyboy]

The OP has a day job, so TB is not his focus.

When you go to work again tomorrow I'm totally bringing more smacktalk up in this bizzle.

Dude, turn off your computer and leave the house.

I didn’t really read the entire thread, but I skimmed it, with special attention to the OP’s posts, and… I don’t get it.

I would make no claim about the reliability of anything based on my personal use. I mean I'm just one person. But as a statement of fact, I've owned four MB amps. My LMII has done many hundreds of gigs. My only amp to die on stage was a Hartke HA3500.

Same here.

Amusing...

Did you contact the manufacturer and try to make a warranty claim?

If so, what was their exact response.

Ok, did you ask them how the warranty process works and what you need to do to get your amp serviced.

Is anyone else having problems with poor quality Mark Bass products, or is it just me?

My Little Mark 500 stopped working with effectively no use.

I am really disappointed.

i can’t say Mark bass equipment is of poor quality. My only experience was one 210 combo that was backline supplied. It performed as advertised. I just didn’t like it on a number of different levels compared to my gear.

I will say they have a pretty good fan club here on TB so they couldn’t be that bad.

Should have done that before blathering on here at TB.

Blah blah blah........

I think this (hopefully final) comment from the OP says it all.

 

[Hypercaffium]

Let me understand.
Somebody here have a problem with a product and ask a simple question, in a polite way.
He's atuomatically a "hater" or he's trying to completely bash a brand. Right?
Some of you guys need to chill, seriously. Your're... comical.

I like how people get so precious over a brand.
