MarkBass Tryout

[maddog]

Tom, they are light enough that if you can buy now you could fairly easily travel with one.

I must go whisper sweet nothings to my credit card.

GC Roadtrip...

Oh, and I drive an Acura MDX. We can put up the back seat and have 7 people in it if we need to.

Larry, I just might be interested in one of those seven seats... As may be oddjob (my roomie!)...

Looks like we'll be crashing the GC on LBJ Freeway when they open on Saturday. The first stop will be at the Hyatt, then on to the Harvey. ALL ABOARD!!!

 

[maddog]

[Mobay45]

You got it!

Much better than in that little seat in the back too.

With that bongo of yours, you've always got the rumble seat.

 

[AnthonyD]

Excellent!

Hey, I wanna go! Is there room for me to hang off the roof, or something?

I'll bet we can find a spot for you.

Dress warm though.

 

[Mobay45]

So far it looks like Maddog, Tkarter, Ebmuscmanlvr83, Adelucia, Bassmonkeee and me are going to GC Saturday morning.

One more? Andrew?

I've got built in insulation.


But, you bring up a good point--what zip code should I use for weather.com when I am packing this evening?

 

[maddog]

75061.

Local weather says mid 60's in the day and mid to upper 40's at night. Maybe some rain late Saturday or Sunday morning. As dry as it's been here, we don't put too much faith in the rain predictions though.

Try 99723

Hey, you didn't say you wanted the zip code for your destination!

 

[smallequestrian]

I will be going too, so if Larry's car is full I can pick up a couple at the Harvey if need be. We shall coordinate on Fridat night.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Paul, you have a lesson this Saturday morning?

Nope, I am all clear for this weekend.

I dont understand what is going on wit hall the bandwagon jumping for markbass... a couple months ago all I heard about on these forums amp wise was GK.

I've played mark bass also guys. The weight was extremely impressive. But that wouldnt factor much into a purchase for me... other than that the tone is only good... it is comparable to other high end amp manufacturers. The price is horrendously high.

In europe Mark bass isn't expensive, and I don't like GK
I think the SD800 is a real killer amp, at least as good as my AG500. Didn't even know there was a mark bass brand when I bought the Aggie though...

As for the "band wagon" I personally think it might ave something to do with the fact that it was mark Bass who built the audiophile EBMM Bass amps? We all love EBMM, right?

 

[homerplaysbass]

You're right Markbass is relatively cheap in Europe - you can buy an LMII for less than £450 and for comparison - a GK1001RBII for about £100 more.

But generally speaking, we pay a fortune for gear over here.
