I hear it's modular, and gives you the option of choosing your own preamp, EQ section and power amp.

Here's how you test it, apparently.

Don't ask me. I am but a caveman.

The opposite of LessMark.

I know, I know, dont quit my day job.

I too saw this and am waiting to see what it is about. A very interesting concept to say the least. Has anyone heard when we are going to get the drop on this?

...crazy......

I dunno I run my markbass flat 98% of the time can I get one with just a gain knob and vol. knob...

oli@bass · 06-24-2008, 07:46 AM

way too large a footprint...

Brim · 06-30-2008, 01:39 PM

Too many options don't you think? Most bass players are simple people, plug in, leave it flat, rock out. I don't see this product having a long shelf-life.

aye, i don't think there's the need for THAT many options, that said i NEVER run flat... i don't like the sound.

Then you can make a simple MoMark with less options, and pay less...!

I can't tell you how much we hear people say "I want a mute switch", "I want pre-EQ", "I want phantom power" etc etc etc...
It's hard to please everybody, and this way you can get exactly what you want, very easily and quickly, and you have the freedom to change things by buying a new module, not a whole new amp.

Some will no doubt prefer one of the standard models. But anyone who knows what they like in an amp will really enjoy this freedom of choice.
You could have a 1000W digital amp with a tube preamp and 21-band digital EQ, for example... or you could have a 250W analog amp with NO EQ and a VPF filter, and a headphone output. Just examples.

YOU decide what you want, based on YOUR needs and tastes. It's all about freedom. You Americans like freedom, don't you?

Cheers,
Peter

If only the keyboard world thought like you, very cool concept Peter!

I hear you Peter. Maybe for some it's a wonderful product offering. Me personally, I'm a plug and play kind of guy. My Eden head runs flat. I've got enough tone options with the onboard EQs of my basses. You guys are doing very well it seems so keep up the fine work. (BTW I was impressed by the F1 head I tried at a GC in Jacksonville months ago - and yes I did run it flat!)

Hadn't thought of that... when does it hit the stores in Europe?

Zippydog · 07-05-2008, 08:13 AM

Wow!

I love my LM II, but that's a pretty darn cool idea!!

....and I had just recovered from being a tweaker, down-sizing preamps, amps and pedals and all kinds of extra truck......
