Peoples here have spoken highly of the digiflex cables. I’m on their website and got the life of me, I cannot see how to actually “order” any of the cables.

I have sent a couple of emails and had zero response.

What am I missing? Any help or a link to an order page would be greatly appreciated.

I buy them at a local distributor. @BklynKen ordered some online recently.

My only problem getting good sounds out of Markbass amps has been not remembering what those two non-intuitive, non-standard tone shaping controls do.
I now have a note in my phone for the times I encounter them.

A) I have a flip phone so notes are...not happening.
2) I always take my own amp.
Places here don't have backlines...or house PA's...or soundtechs.
One place did provide a sorta backline-it belonged to the 'Sunday only' house band. I think it mighta been a GK(?). Place went outta bizness.

Those 2 controls are super useful and easy to work with.
I’m not sure why people can’t grasp what they do, and I don’t mean any disrespect when I say that.

It's not that can't grasp what they do. Once I know what they are, I'm fine. And if I owned one, no problem - I'd remember.

The scenario is usually that I'm in a hurry to set up because there's a limited time window at a rehearsal space. I haven't used a Markbass for a year, and we're ready to play. And I'm staring at those two controls thinking *** are they again?o_O
This never happens to me with any other amp.

Owned a Mesa PowerHouse 212 for quite some time, loved it, big fan of 12’s.
Only reason I went with the HT322 is cause it sounds so darn good and got a great deal on it, plus I couldn’t find an HT212 at a reasonable price nor another Mesa 212.

3 22” speakers?!? That’s huge! Or is it 32 2” speakers?

Forecast last night said 30% chance of .1 to .2 inches at 4 AM. They missed that one. It’s been snowing all morning.

not to beat the dead horse as this seems to come up (unnecessarily since folks make it clear they wouldn’t purchase one) often….the amp will not suddenly stop working if you ignore those two knobs…..if it was me and I walked up to to an amp with controls I didn’t know I’d either leave them untouched or set them to 0 (they don’t affect the shelving on the EQ) just like an effect (compressor, octaver) that I don’t wish to have in there…I don’t advocate just MB, I advocate Class D in general for convenience sake and my choice in this sector happens to be MB…..
NEXT PLEASE!…..:D

They probably get an unfair rap here in the US because of the exclusive affiliation with GC/MF. I suspect that the rep would be better if Sweetwater carried them.

One of the best meals I ever had was at a Greek place in Chicago while there for work. One of the co-workers from there took us to his family’s restaurant. It was wonderful.

Yah, Greek-town in Chicago near the University had some great restaurants.
