how exactly does that work, if you can't order them online?

again, this is not helping my bank account.

Hey, if it doesn't work out, don't forget the long eval period. Just keep it in perfect condition with all the packing and whatnot... no risk if you don't like it.

Yep, same here. Just picked up the phone and ordered one. A few days later they delivered it to my door. I have no idea when the 45 day trial period is over, because it's not going back.

 

[The Alexander]

man, you guys are relentless!

everything in my head says "you don't need another amp, your ashdown works fine"

too bad the rest of me says otherwise!

 

[BurningSkies]

Yup. Believe it. I'm addicted to mine too.

Man, this thread has given me major gas, for a LMII!

Before I commit myself completely to this little beauty of an amp, I'd like to make some things clear:

-This amp is warm, yet pretty transparent. I can dial in pretty much any sound I want to.

-This amp will bring out the characters of my bass, and not mask them with any character of the amp itself.

-This amp is useful for any style of music, from hard rock to funk.

-This amp is completely kickass

Are all of these statements accurate?

Inform me if I missed anything.

For me, yes. For you, maybe. Maybe not.

 

[Brad Johnson]

The closest one to me is 3 hours away. I just had them ship it.

I have five within an hour of me.

 

[HiFi]

I have five within an hour of me.

Fifteen within an hour of me, and seven within half an hour.

 

[The Alexander]

For me, yes. For you, maybe. Maybe not.

Why do you say that?

You may interpret the sounds from the amp differently, as is true with any piece of gear.

(I assume that was his meaning.)

 

[Mark Sacchetti]

Any word yet on the F1 rollout for GC ?

As always thanks Peter

Why do you say that?

I've tried so very hard to like the LMKII, and in some
situations, with certain boxes, the amp sounds just great.
Its not better than what I have now, and sometimes it
doesn't sound as good. For me, small and light weight is
not enough to keep it. You might love it.
Maybe thats what he meant.

I do see that. I certainly wouldn't be considering this amp if there was not a good return policy. I imagine that it will be very different than my Ashdown, so by that i'm a little uncertain. But, all I can really do is try it out.

And speaking of it sounding good with certain cabinets, what would you reccomend? I'm looking at Aguilar GS112s or similar cabs right now.

Go for it. IMHO, the LMII is one of those heads that sounds good with most cabs... pretty cab friendly.

G3BASSIST- I use my LMII with a AGGIE GS112!!! GREAT combination. Used it last nite at a club gig with my EUB & elec.bass. IMO U have to set the gain as described in manual-even it's pretty hard to get the gain light to glow(clip)- just backed off from clipping- & the sound of the LMII seems to get chunkier & project more.
I put my 1x15" EV under the GS112 sometimes too!!! But is plenty loud simply into the 1x12" @ 8ohms!

MB heads seem to work well with most cabs but Epifani is a good choice IMHO

I think I've got to try one of these. Currently using a Peavey Firebass which I'm happy with soundwise, but the thing is 55 pounds. If I can get as good a sound from the LMKII I'm on it.

You mean "better", don't you ?
