UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple and efficient trs.
the manual is very explicit trs, better use your ear.
The sound is excellent, and this same low volume!
The filters are fulfilling their RLES, we have a palette ranging from the funky bass to the most soft and round with no problem.

SOUNDS

I play punk with reggae passages, a Premire seen this head is too punk style to the sounds, but not being like other things I prfre bass less "dirty" as Most bass players of this style ... but reggae is the ultimate!
This gives a range of sounds trs variable, thanks to the filters that are more open, the lower become pure ... and vice versa can be achieved with a clear treble trs trs Submitted.
I use a fender jaguar and in between I put a compressor markbass for the hottest fat lgrement the lamp of the compressor.
I use it with a 2x12 cab MarkBass NY 122 '.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and I fell in love!
I used a Hartke VX before 2515, are deeper but less styl.
What I like most is the purity of sound achieved, not a breath, and a palette of his tight rev.
The tuner out is a plus, to agree not unplug the bass.
I also like its small size only 2.9 Kg with a reserve of power Exceeds largely away from other amp heads heavier and more expensive!
The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable for me other brands should review all their stratgies!

I would do this election eyes closed!

SOUNDS

Great art, everything sounds above.

OVERALL OPINION

What's more, jou have APRS on, Trace Elliot, SWR, EBS, Ampeg, Gallien Kruger, there is no photo, this amp is a marvel in all sectors, power, weight, height, quality sound equipment, rglages, price.

I play a 5 string fretless Noguera fairplay, an Ibanez BTB 675-NTF fret 5 string and a bass NS DESIGN NXT 5, DIFFERENT styles of music, SETTING THE equalizer almost always neutral (except for bass). It sounds in the bass, mdiums, treble. There is no breath (it's so rare). The power is to not force his game face a logger which allows you to hear the accents, I personally have never Exceeds third of the volume.
I coupled the amplifier enclosure MarkBass Traveler 102 P. You can plug a guitar or a mp3 player, the quality of sound is almost incredible to the hifi.
Practical question: thank you for my back, it's lightweight, lightweight, lightweight.
Question report quality price: UNBEATABLE (for speakers is something else)

Well done Mr Marco De Virgiliis

UTILIZATION

The setup is really simple trs, it makes her a good and sound. And even when we test the BTE, we get a good sound trs by simply putting all knobs noon (neutral).

The manual is minimal, however. I AIM a little more info, especially on the VLE and VPF filters two and the rear face buttons (ground lift and pre / post EQ).

SOUNDS

Overall I think the head may agree a lot of musical styles DIFFERENT even if I find it more comfortable on modern and powerful sounds. For my part I play DIFFERENT styles of music and say that this should especially funk, blues and rock. I think that metalheads will also find something to rgaler. VLE thanks to the filter can easily switch to sound more rtros while the FFT filter really boosts the sound. In both filters plaant VPF and VLE twelve o'clock we get really great sound, ample, modern and powerful: exactly what I wanted.

The basic sound of this head is really prcis, even in severe frquences, which is trs enjoyable because I got too rare on other amps. That said, I did not test with a 5 string. Note by the abuse against the FFT filter (which boosts the sound) is lost in precision. For use with modration.

Trs a good point that I think INTERESTED: when you plug the instrument and it mounts the volume without playing, there is no breath or grsillement: the amp is quiet and just it was rare enough to be noticed.

Both filters VLE and VPF are really practical, simple rgler. Note that I think these two effects must compress the signal because a little since I head that I do not feel the need for a compressor, even on the slap (slap sound really good on this head). If people have a little info on these filters and usage tips, I'm interested.

I test this head with different instruments: my Sandberg, Hohner Steinberger, Cort Curbow Fretless, Fender Jazz Bass, Warwick Corvette. This restores Fidler head the sound of the instrument, which is really apprciable. on the other hand Obviously, ancessite to have a bass with a good sound and I think it's made for low plutt sending (I'll have to find a Music Man to test a. .. .).

I test the head of cab Ampeg (SVT) and Markbass. And I say right away: even if the head is not CHRE trs, we have to put the package to acqurir of cabs that can withstand the power of this t te. For my part I made the choice to Markbass cabs (1x15 "+ 2 x 10"). Frankly the combination of the head and two cabs is really beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

June 2011: I head for the three months and frankly I conquered. Everyone has noticed my amp and its remarkable that dveloppe.

Precision, power and sound quality, lgret (incredible) I think are the most remarkable qualities of this amp and the fact that it is silent (no blast or gr Silla).

I test a lot of amps (prs in the same low price) before making this purchase: Warwick, Ashdown, Ampeg, Hartke and Promthe. Markbass for me is a better choice in terms of sound quality but also lgret. Even if this n'tait no choice CRITERIA beginners I think I got quickly used to it and I have trouble taking me an amp of 60 kg now.

But beware: it's a powerful amp really trs and to be able to assume such power (unusable with cabs in an apartment for example). As against the prsence a DI can play with headphones at a console which is handy.

amp type, features etc. .. see other reviews, for my part I took away that we have a good reserve of power 500Watts @ 4 ohms, it's not the lamp but can live with it, and it is 2.9 pounds ... high quality workmanship at RAS residing on it.

UTILIZATION

config very simple and clear, as usual in the manual is not really necessary, équalo does his job, the VPF and VLE 2 filters provide more to those who need it (tested, but I serve very few settings on my bass is already sufficient at this level)

Readily obtained a very good sound, I typed Markbass certainly would say "faithful, powerful and very finely restoring the sound of your shovel and much much more ... frequencies with a lot of heads, clean game required"

SOUNDS

then of course I use it with a 2x12 cabinet NY markbass, I opted for the full yellow and black ^ ^ is very distinctive "vintage jazzy" some would say and yet the possibilities are enormous, for those who take the time to listen, to find a good sound ...

In my opinion you can do anything with this kind of head, it will suffice to add a baffle to the limit not because we really reserve power and possibilities of setting fine-enough to pass the neutral position of the knobs' s is noon on the head, and not 19 hours ... let it be said, for the VLE and VPF filters is the same, we can very quickly typing the sound ...

I put a compressor EH tube input signal, it warms the sound that otherwise would seem a bit cold in some game situations (rock / fat in particular)

OVERALL OPINION

it's been about 4 months I repeat with ... In It For Me?

I've tried lots of stuff, especially to go with groups who nags all play tab (see my review of the cabinet NY 122) this amp head is perfect in my opinion, it was with a power of light quality, provided that:

1 / Markbass love the sound (test therefore imperative)
2/avoir a good instrument to play on it (my 5-string Warwick can finally show what she has in his stomach ..)
3/lui add a baffle report, which does not restrict who bear the power delivered
4/et course utility (if it is to make his lines in his room to prefer a micro cube!)

I love the simplicity and the quality of this stuff, its weight also ... what I like least? to limit the sound can seem a bit cold for musicians who like to play "fat" and "vintage R'n'R" ... but frankly this small "defect" is more to quibble, overall it's still an excellent product

quality / price / weight / power on top, as mentioned above ... with the experience I would do without hesitation that choice of course ...

so it's a good head amp transistor with a colossal power of 600 watts into 4 ohms.

setting of low, low mids, high mids, treble and 2 filters VLE and VPE

filter (adjustable) VPE allows vintage sound of your bass while the VLE makes it more modern and a little more aggressive. There is a DI to subculture to a PA system.

UTILIZATION

Config is simple but comprehensive and effective.

While the sound is excellent and bad at the same time .. let me explain. Markbass is black or white, or we love the grain of his or déteste.moi you love Me.

many type markbass style pop / vintage..a their way with me but she excels in my death metal band and my black metal band!

SOUNDS

Good as said above I am in extreme metal.

I play a Warwick Corvette 5 string active on the EBS valvedrive more compression pedal Electro-Harmonix LPB1 markbass on a 15 inch and a 2 times 11 Genz Benz.

I get all the sounds I want to love .. but markbass.

OVERALL OPINION

What I LOVE is that this beast weighs 2.2 watts ... 6OO pounds and is as large as a netbook (and still I have my doubts) a dream!

before I played on the Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 (just as convenient) but it was not comprehensive enough and lacked power.

make the election again? it was a Christmas gift HAHAHA

Characteristics, according to the documentation Markbass:

- Pre-amplifier transistor and analog amplification.
- 300W into 8 ohms, 500W into 4 Ohms.
- Input Active / Passive.
- Set Input Gain and Master for powerful sound output.
- Equalization: Bass, Low Mid, High Mid, High.
- Filter ELVs (which cuts the treble and gradually makes its vintage and deaf), and FFT filter (which cuts gradually mediums, making the sound more modern and more aggressive)
- XLR pre or post-EQ with adjustable output level.
- Effects loop, tuner output.
- Jack & Speakon output.
- Weight 2.9kg (!!!!!!)


UTILIZATION

Configuration very easy to use. The knobs are very nice to handle, very precise, progressive and responsive.
The manual is simple, concise.
Readily obtained a good sound, but it depends on your bass. The Markbass amp offers a rendering of the sound of the instrument very loyal. The sound is absolutely not colored (even if the filters VLE and VPF are here for, in case ...). After that it depends on the quality of your bass.
I use this head with a cabinet sub Markbass 104HF 4Ohm, allowing me to draw 500W of the head.
Being able to send the signal in XLR, but especially pre POST EQ is just awesome. The sound engineer will love to work on your sound with YOUR EQ.

SOUNDS

Can get just about anything with this amp. The sound is always clean, precise and always well defined. Do not drool and still pierces through the mix of the group.
It fails possibly a little more heat to sound, but for that, much to turn to Mark Little Tube, R500, or any other Markbass head with pre-amplification is provided by lamps.
I play a Musicman Stingray 5, the sound is made to perfection. If the bass is exceptionally clear and audible, through the quality of the lower course, and strings (to DR Hi-Beams) but also by the precision and finesse of the amp, which is not often the case among other brands (Ampeg or Hartke, for example ...)
Rather than invest in a Little Mark Tube pre-amp I use a SansAmp Bass Driver DI to compensate for the lack of warmth of the sound (which in essence is mostly a matter of taste ...).
VLE and VPF filters provide a more sound, for the work and customize it beyond what is permitted by the equalization or a possible pre-amp.

After you have to love the sounds rather modern. If you like the roundness and character of the Ampeg, I do not guarantee that you'll like Markbass ... But it must try ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now, and I have always been fully satisfied, it is in rehearsal, in concert and in studio.
The strength of this model is its Quality / Price / Weight / Power halluciant.
Failure could be lack of warmth of the sound, but it's more a matter of taste than a real defect.
I tried head Ampeg (SVT III and B2R), Ashdown (ABM evo III), Hartke, Eden, Peavey sometimes worth much more than this Little Mark III, and frankly the competition far behind compared to Markbass ( to be low share Genz-Benz and TC level electronic power to weight ratio, and again ...)
Configuration LM III + 104HF seems to me to be an excellent solution to a single speaker for all types of rooms. 500W for a total of 33kg ...

With experience I will ever be the choice without hesitation (or maybe I took a Mark Little Tube ...) and I highly recommend this amp head, which has nothing, but then nothing head amp input range, as its price might suggest ...

Full transistor amplifier see JUST TYPICAL complete product details on the official site, because there are errors in the first notice and see the link below.

For my part, there all you need and very good quality especially.


UTILIZATION

Easily found a good sound, you plug it sounds really well on both the bass player who starts as the bass player this face is easily tamed, and each button has its influence and makes a well its different, you do not turn for pleasure to turn but to really change the sound, and what a sound!

SOUNDS

So yes it can suit any style of music is versatile, and each registry you will find a sound of power and incredible clarity, the two filters and ELVs VPF are magic squares and not bother to take the head with a graphic equalizer, it is much more intuitive for me, it goes to the sound of his heavy slamming in 2 seconds, but even claquand we keep a reserve of low impressive , it pierces the mix without worry!

After the rest of knob can polish up the sound even more, for my part I decline both knob of medium, the VLE and VPF at noon almost thoroughly and everything else almost noon, it kills!

I'm running this marvel of a 104hf markbass too. Well it's fabulous, it really is power regardless of the genre, cast ca!
I use it with a low jap active "bass collection", very good bass, I also tested other low, it sounds always (in the limit of low proper course) I enjoy as a group, although on, or solo, even with a scratch on the nag 100w All Tube and a drummer who hits hard, it provides a quiet, it was big sound ^ ^
on the other hand, no way to do cruncher or anything of that kind of transistor, so for those who want a bit of saturation, a small pedal is needed, namely, for those interested in its full


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months very regularly, I am always happy with the sound, I delight in each repeat ... I really love the two FFT filters ELVs!
It's very personal choice for an amp, there are so many brands, I think markbass this class in the elite of the bass amp, the price / quality ratio is really great for an amp made in Italy, Europe not in China like most other ampeg or ashdown, we do not make fun of us at markbass, the quality is!

last point, the weight, 2.9 kilograms of pure happiness follow you in concert or in making friends without head, and scratch the other bass players will be jealous to see you come with jewelry on hand as relaxed as if you were wearing a loaf of bread

I highly recommend it of course ^ ^
