All user reviews for the Markbass Little Mark Tube

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.

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 ....

2 tube preamplifier transistor or a choice or mixable.
500w in 4ohm and 8ohm 300w sub.
2 channels with XLR or jack with a power phantom.equalisation bass 60hz 360hz low mid mid high high 800Hz 5kHz.
Vle a filter and a filter vpf.1 mute.1 knob for master out.1 line.
back cover we find food, 2 outputs and one Speakon baffles 1 jack.1 output tuner.1 effects loop and a DI with pre and post eq and eq gnd lift.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, with the knobs in the center was already a very good one turns a knob son.des we feel the difference.les 2 vle filters and FFT are less easy to adjust, try several times.
must first adjust the gain when the clip LED flashes once in a while it bon.apres you set the master has his own way, easy.
on the 2nd channel can connect a microphone, an acoustic bass, has a box rhymth finally a lot of things. (XLR input or jack).
the manual is useless, there is nothing in it anyway.

SOUNDS

I play pop / rock in a cover band / compound (myspace.com / viviemusic). no problem the head is very versatile.
I have a fender jazz bass us and because I use a washburn us.en electro harmonix bass metaphors (compressor, eq, distortion).
I baffles for an Ampeg SVT 300w 12he us and hh electronic 15p 300w.
can ontaining much of its different with the eq, the two filters and the preamp will transistor.ca lamp or fat to the lens.
vle with the filter you get a vintage sound with treble and bass a little cut.
FFT filter is perfect for the slap or the mediator, since it cuts the medium and enhances the bass and treble.
I do not like the sound lens or acute so I lowered treble.j 'loves the filter vle, slightly less than the FFT.
I think we can play with any style, except maybe the trash or death (a view).
the sound is not kind, means much the sound of his basse.je think we have a good low to get the best.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using a mois.j 'loves the sound in general and puissance.il no compressor is a shame.
I just tried everything Ashdown, Hartke, ampeg, marshall, fender, etc. ..
I think the quality / price bon.700 euros. good definition in the bass and treble powerful.
I would do this choice without any hesitation. 500W, 2.9 kg, excellent sound as positive.
it can accommodate a large number of bassiste.c is a very good material not china made in italy as certain.
I really enjoy the aesthetic, after is a matter of taste.
markbass you really try to bluff by the power of this little box and sound quality.
perfection is not far away.

For specifications, see the manufacturer's website or the previous opinions.

I just add that I never managed to know what is like light in the pre-amp. I fear it is a component designed specifically for Markbass you can not change ...


UTILIZATION

I tried it in two stores with the seller every time.
I found it quite complicated to use VLE and VPF filters.
But I have some experience and I know to solve a ampeg onions
Great difficulties to find a sound (see next section).

Furthermore there is no volume control pre-amp. If you go up the gain to find a large saturation, the volume is mounted. Must be compensated at Masters level to maintain the same volume. If you have an auxiliary input, you also lower its noise level.
Conversely, in concert, if you want a clean sound, you will lower the gain. It will then mount the master of many for you to hear.
In a small store, I had to master the 8 / 10 to get a clear sound. Let me tell you in concert, that pass! : (

FYI, I was on a 4x10 cabinet 'of the same brand.
Yet just at the very volume.

SOUNDS

This amp is VERY typical. It offers its a little greasy and very warm. It fits perfectly for the blues and reggae. But I doubt it is effective for the metal.

But above all, interesting info that I have to deliver is that this is inappropriate filled at all my $ $ Warwick which is itself very typical. An instrument that has a very warm sound rather dull and original texture. If one adds warmth and roundness of the amp, it gets mushy and muffled sound not nice at all: (

With vendors, we tried to sculpt the sound with the FFT filters, VLE and equalization. But he had to put the filters one at max and min to have another in a less mushy, nothing more. So, I am convinced that the sound palette is very limited with my bass.
Can not find the treble or presence. Just BOOM: (

I read in journals that complied with the instrument amp, but I could see that we should not be relied upon. Markbass is very typical because I had the same experience with a config MoMark.

OVERALL OPINION

I spent 2 times an hour to try to resolve the missile.
I did not buy.

I do not mean that the amp is zero, but it is clear that it does not stick with my Warwick I love the madness So the choice is quickly made.
I will seek a more neutral amp which merely amplify. It will be better suited to expressing my fabulous instrument.

See other reviews, but it's a complete well head.
Very high quality.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use. No need to book.

It has good sound right away.

SOUNDS

I do not understand the opinion not objective at all like Mouloud. I tested a Luthman, a Jazz bass and WARWICK on this amp. The sound was very very good. Beautiful sound palette. It is a premium brand with superb quality.

It is clear that his signature is a Markbass and I adore.

OVERALL OPINION

Tested for a month. It is a very good amp. I do not understand how someone like Mouloud be appreciated so so unfair and not objective. If he does not adjust his bass, he did not put the blame on the amp. To say that a Markbass amp quality is bad, it's absurd. To give an example, I personally think the Ampeg amps are very good, but I do not like the sound Ampeg typed. This is not my truck. This is why we will not say that the amp is not good. It is good, but not to my taste.

Markbass this amp is excellent. great sound! Super finish!
