Hey MarkBass boys, THIS is the goods!!!!

[TSanders]

Updated pics of my current rig. Killer setup and worth the backache.

Let the bashing begin.

Although I own a LittleMark II, I've certainly never claimed it the be all and end all of amps. I love a good tube head and I bet that things smokes. I'm glad you've found a rig that makes you happy...



at least for now.

 

[Caca de Kick]

I love it Travis.
yeah, the tone is worth it for me too.

 

[Big Poppa]

Yeah this is the 50th time Travis has discovered the holy amp

[RitchieDarling]

No bashing from me!

It looks like a great rig.

But, I'll keep my Markbass.

Hey T-man. I am next in line for the next Genz 6.0 12T that my dealer gets. My MarkBass stuff will be history as soon as it hits.

Nice cabinet!

I love my Markbass rig and will use it until it falls apart...it's just too easy to load/unload and it sounds damned good.

But I still feel kind of macho when I look over at my big Ampeg cabs and a Sunn head. Not macho enough to pick it up and haul it around, mind you.

Bet that sounds good, Travis.

I think I hurt my back just looking at it.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Hey I love it Travis! I have a SVT-CL with an 810E and a SVT 15E too!

But when I leave the house it's the MarkBass LMII and a Bergie of some sort, I can load in in one trip. Have fun you young/good back whippersnaper.

 

[phatduckk]

i had an SVT CL. for me no tone is worth that weight. ~80 lb head + my 98 lb Aguilar 4x10... no way. i sold it.

being able to shove my markbass LMII in a backpack with my cables etc makes it my go to amp.

Tonewise I once had a head that I liked better... a Mesa m-pulse 600, but that caught fire. LoL

 

[EBMM7181]

Im with Travis

 

[oli@bass]

It looks.... small... for an Ampeg.

To be fair, I have to admit that my Holy Grail of bass sound still is a StingRay into an SVT head with 8x10 cab. But as long as I'm my own roadie and tech, I'll not even think about owning one...

 

[EBMM7181]

actually Oli, the Holy Grail is an SVT head with 8x10 cab and an Avalon U5 - I finally got a U5 thanks to some awesome dude at Sweetwater

Travis, how many amps is that now???? Seriously, great setup, Ampigs aren't my thing but I understand why you (and others) love them. Enjoy it, great stuff!!!

 

[Baird]

I still use an Ampeg head at one of my drummer's places as a practice amp and still like it but my Markbass F1 fits in my gig bag and sounds better. I was a pure Ampeg guy (heads and cabs) for 20+ years. To each their own.

I still only use Ampeg cabs exclusively though. SVT 2x10's and a 1x15.

The F1 + Ampeg cabs + SR sounds great IMO

 

[Dr Stankface]

Travis, when is a good time where we can A/B the Ampeg rig and the Markbass + Epifani rig?

Great lookin' setup m'friend. Can't wait to hear it.

Not sure why everyone assumes 90lbs of SVT when someone mentions loving the tube power.
There have always been lighter alternatives.
