The first rule of talk bass club is...
don't be a nob.

Knob eliminator. Takes care of those pesky Mark Bass amps too.
I love pretty knobs.
Want some purple sparkly glow in the dark knobs.
Just have not gotten them yet.

Also Markbass is cool.
When I was 16 and had scrounged up enough money to buy my first "real" bass, I had narrowed it down to a Black/Maple standard passive P bass, or the uber-sexy Precision Lyte Deluxe. I picked the one with the active preamp and more knobs, because that must make it better! I've since spent the last 20 years and who knows how much money fighting with that bass to get it to sound the way I want it to... like a Passive P bass. I have my passives in the stable now, and that bass sits in the case in the corner, sad, alone and unused. One of these days I'll get it back into playing shape... one of these days.
Can’t say anything. Used a couple MKIII heads into a pair of 215D cabinets.
For real. While trying to get through the first page of that thread, I decided it would be easier to ignore the OP. So I did.
Forget the manual, forget other's suggested settings, forget audio science. It's simple: twiddle the knobs, and in spite of your hearing issues- use your ears. Ignore others input, FOH, logic, and reason.
Twiddle those knobs!

2 things.
Mark Bass as an option? Hilarious.
And the second? I just about died laughing when I was right for a particular thread got closed down even before 11 am (west coast). I’ll be sure and pour one out for our suspended “knobness warrior” homie.

If I tried to play that thing, I don't think I'd ever be confident that I had all the knobs set right - that thing would mess with my head something fierce.
Over 22 years of playing it was a full circle for me. Starts playing: I only need a few...what do they do again? Mid career: Give me ALL the controls! Now: Yeah...I only need a few, but I understand them lol
That applies to amps and basses.

I put "the most knobs" because this thread has the most knobs in it, and yes they're all venting. (lol jk i luv you, reader)
The thread that sparked this was finally locked due to overwhelming demand. There weren't nearly enough markbass knobs in it though.
