Well I don't like yellow, but that's not their fault.
It just seems like every 3rd review mentions reliability issues. Its a concern when it's a higher end product.

Which might be harder to come by in the future? Get that one.
Are the other amps in the same location?
If not it could be your house wiring.

Dr. Cheese, it's possible you are lactose intolerant as it seems you have gas.
Really do like the sound of that Bass Doc so I voted for the bass. I gigged a MarkBass 210 combo one time where I was required to do so and was disappointed in it. It was DI'd to the sound board for the FOH already and they had some standard setting they used on it. I had run it flat with a little bit of low-mid boost like I usually do on my passive Jazz and it was OK, just not as good as I'm used to. I normally play through my Eden/DNA gear, which I much prefer. It wasn't bad though and I did like it better than some GK gear I've played through or owned previously.
I just really like the sound of that Spectorcore Fretless and I think it would probably sound good played through just about anything, whereas personally, I am not interested in the MarkBass 210 at all since I use my Eden head with my DNS-210 cab. Still, I think it wold be a step up from the GK you mentioned. But that bass would be a nice addition to your other basses, and I'd bet you'll end up playing it a lot.

Thanks for the replies folks! I will get that Spectorcore. I will get maybe a better head sometime in 2021.
That bass is gorgeous and I bet you'll be motivated to play more.
The amp? You'll need a sweater shaver and a lint roller.
Get the bass.

That bass is not an improvement over your Pedulla, at all, on this planet, although it is different. I'd opt for the amp, given the choice between those 2. BUT, having said that, in terms of sound, I'd think out of the box and go for a really sweet pedal preamp with a tube, like an Oracle or AMT-A.........jus' sayin'.......keep on pluckin' , Dr. Fromage

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
You already have a #1 and #2 fretless, one of whom is a fantastic instrument. You have, a best, a mid grade amp.
Need I say more?

Nice bass Mr Cheese. I will note that you barely touched the B-string. Why you looking at a 5?
2020 has seen me weather some serious financial issues that arose out of some issues that were beyond my control. The Pedulla was a casualty. It is great bass, but l learned that I would prefer my #1 be fretted. My Geddy is my #1fretted. The Spectorcore will be a very nice fretless five. My main basses will be my Geddy, Peavey Forum AX five, Spectorcore. I may donate my Glarry Fretless and keep my Yamaha with the EMG. My Carvin SB5000 is my one exotic sort of bass.That bass is not an improvement over your Pedulla, at all, on this planet, although it is different.

Oh, I play in church, I know what do with a B string.
If I had “both money,” that would be great option!You forgot the option "both" in your poll.

I feel you! While I'm not a Markbass fan tone wise, I played through the same combo once which was provided at a gig and was surprised how loud it could get.
