Markbass Little Mark Tube

Tube and transistor
300W / 8 Ohms
500W / 4 Ohms

UTILIZATION

Do not need the manual, the ear is sufficient, simple settings ...

SOUNDS

I tired it with:
Fender '69 Precision: pushing the preamp tube: big roots sound
Godin A4 fretless: some trial and error, and then: acoustics fully respected
Godin SD5 with an Audere Audio preamp (read my opinion on this subject): bump here!
Big versatility, it adapts despite what some might say, to any kind of low. You just have to have a little patience and knowledge base to get to the bottom ...

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it to replace a Little Mark I: lighter, wider range of sounds thanks to the tube, and always delivers the goods!
bought in France, delivered free within 24 hours, and cheaper than Thomann!
I'm not willing to change brands ....

Hi everyone, I am sorry for our Mouloud friends, but I have to react on this opinion because of blunders standards have t say.
While our friends Mouloud has not managed to find a rglage that suited his Warwick (! In these cases, we must get help from a seller BON ...) the MarkBass amps are on A REFERENCE Warwick basses and it suits any musical style (go read the reviews and Other MarkBass amps Audiofanzine on)
FYI, my bass player uses MarkBass LittleMark II with Warwick $$ 1 for many years and the Public's reaction is always the same:
"... Wow! What's that sound crazy!"

Mouloud Hollywood sorry, your opinion is not difiant.

OVERALL OPINION

I am writing this review in response to certain passages in the opinion of Mouloud.

A: all the amps I tested when the gain is up the volume increase is normal. And when the gain is lowered the volume decreases, it is normal too.

Two: to have a clear sound not need to lower the gain. You have to play on the knob that adjusts the mixture between the lamp and the transistors. It is for this and does it well. We can therefore put a lot of gain and have a clear sound, simply turn the knob e "mix" at the bottom of the side "solid state".

Three: I can not allow that this header is not powerful. It is unimaginable. Plugged into an Ampeg 6x10 into 4 ohms I can assure everyone that the little mark tube laaargement enough power. Even outdoors.

Four: This amp is suitable for metal. As for rock,, reggae blues, slap, ...

Five: warwick is a special that's true. I do not know the double-buck but I have a standard corvette and I found there the sound described by Mouloud. I also have another one between musicman saber and the like "its special" it arises there. Well I do not have a problem with my bass and little mark tube.
In addition, for several years in many concerts, many bass players have played on my head markbass. Each with its low, each with its idea of ​​his he wants to get. And no one has ever complained, quite the contrary. They all complimented me on my stack to know the little mark tube and a Ampeg 6x10.

300 Watts into 8 Ohms
500 Watts into 4 Ohms

For specifications, refer to the manufacturer's website.

UTILIZATION

Very simple except that there are two channels, it's plug and play.

SOUNDS

So there I was amazed, frankly the slap, I first tried with a 4 * 10 and I left New York with a * 12 (more than enough at first and then more portable ) I'll order a second baffle 12 for larger scenes.
But already this config is impressive.
I play pricipalement fingers on strings 4, I evolve in a Jazz band and also with a progressive rock band.
I can find sounds that make me rediscover my basses, Sadowsky Nyc, Suhr, Lakland, Fender.
I had problems with my old amp to make my way into the mix and there is that of happiness, it pierces the mix and it fits very easily.
I had gone to buy the electronic Tc RH450 and seller pushed me to try the markbass, what I did without conviction.
Fifteen minutes later, I left with under the arm.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently and this is the first time I post a notice.
I immediately referrai this choice, it's a sound that was in my ears and I was looking for quite some time.
I hope you find yours but try try this amp, it is worth seeing.
