MarkBass 104HF 4x10 bass cab - 800 watts !

Guitar Mania's opinion would be...
Well, for all I've said against the need for us bassists to carry 4x10 cabs, here's the only other solution - a LIGHTWEIGHT 4x10 cab. Makes sense. You do get used to the bottom end and punch of a 4x10 (or two !) and sometimes of course nothing else will do, so then that's when MarkBass come in.

They cut down on weight by using ultra lightweight neodynium speakers and wow, do they sound good !

MarkBass CMD102P 2x10 bass amp combo

Guitar Mania's opinion would be...
If you are still stuck playing a head and 4x10 and are happy with that, then we're happy for you too ! If you are getting tired of carting it around then time to modernise and save your back. This 2x10 combo will give you te best of both worlds. A HUGE bass tone and great versatility. PLUS it probably weighs less than the guitarists 50 watt valve amp...ha ha.

According to MarkBass..
The 102 combo may just be our most versitile combo, it's perfect for any situation. The angled cabinet design allows the unit to be used either as a floor monitor or in the stardard vertical position. The built in VLE and VPF filters help create a warm and natural sound, as they do in all Mark Bass head. If you add a cabinet to the 102 combo, you can easily fill larger venues without compromising performance. Designed for players who need ample power without sacrificing portability.

Guitar Mania says:
Need to hear it to believe it. I real smack in the gob for all the back breaking 4x10 carry crowd, it's a simple question - why bother ? This is plenty loud enough ! YOU don't get paid extra for how much gear you bring along, so get wise, scale down, save money and get a better, clearer, punchier tone... simple huh ?Technical Stuff

Who is Guitar Mania ?
Guitar Mania is a Mark Bass OFFICIAL UK MAIN DEALER trading since 1994 here in sunny Poole, Dorset. We're not a two-bit back street warehouse that advertises a load of stuff that we don't keep in stock. We're a proper high street shop, with real musicians and real bass gear actually in stock. So what ? Who cares ? Hey, don't shoot the messanger I'm just saying if you have a choice between two sellers then why not support your fellow musicians ! Quote from Bass Magazine:
"featherlight heavyweight" which just about sums them up!The Little Mark II is our answer to the many requests we've had from bass players who want an ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT yet powerful amp head. Combined with the onboard VLE and VPF filters and graphic EQ its sound is warm and natural in addition to bass, it's also great for acoustic instruments! The Little Mark II is very simple to use, but also puts a wide variety of tonal control at your fingertips, It's great little head, boasting 500W of power and weighing only 6 lbs !

Technical Spec:According to Guitar Mania If it helps at all.... I actually own and gig every weekend with one of these.... I play pub rock from Black Sabbath to Bon Jovi but I do like to slap occassionally when I'm allowed !!!! This bass amp really DOES IT ALL - It is the first ever bass amp that we've tried that gives you true all bottom / all top style funk sounds that work great for slap and pop techniques BUT ALSO you can get a fantastic smooth P Bass R'N'B tone as well. Plus if you crank up the gain you can even get a filthy Stranglers style tone too. As I said this amp DOES IT ALL !

Normal RRP list price: £629 - you save loads !!

NEW Gibson USA Les Paul Studio Mahogany in Worn Cherry finish with hard case

Excellent A1 example, with way prettier than average wood grain. This is a pukka Made in USA Gibson Les Paul NOT to be confused with counterfeit items you may see on auction websites at similar prices.

The round warmth of a carved mahogany top on a mahogany back first debuted in the famous 1957 Custom Black Beauty. Now we're bringing this fabulous wood combo back with the added vintage edge of Gibson's Alnico V BurstBucker Pro humbuckers. Designed especially for the new Gibson Les Paul Standards, these pickups provide pure tone lovers with stunning humbucking tone on their electric guitars. A '59 rounded Les Paul mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard and trapezoid inlays is fast yet substantial.

Used Gibson 335 circa 1998

Here we have in stock ready to ship today a truly STUNNING original 1998 Gibson ES-335 dot re-issue in vintage sunburst with lovely flame top, not to be confused with the dul dul dull plain tops you see going for not a lot less. It features a slim taper 60's neck and we're throwing in a non gibson hard case for your protection when shipping. As far as I can tell it all seems 100% original and DEFINITELY NOT one of the many many chinese copies. We can spot them a mile off and NEVER get involved (see our 1000+ 100% feedback) This guitar is an EXCELLENT example.

Condition:
It is in excellent condition, I'd say 9/10 with a fairly unmarked body although it is 10 years old and there is some minor belt rash that won't show up on photo's but nothing through to the wood and overall above average condition for year. You may be able to t-cut the wear out but that's kinda missing the point of this lovely played-in beauty. The frets look pretty much un touched with only the tiniest signs of wear if any. All electrics have been tested and are working fine.

Playability.
So far this is the BEST playing used 335 we have seen. Hardly any fret wear. Low action, straight and true neck. Definitely one of the better ones. You can buy a cheaper one that won't play as nice (or look as nice) or you can save up and buy this "keeper".

As a reputable Gibson USA dealer we take pride in our guitars and rest assured that your guitar will be supplied:

• Inspected - for dents and scratches and to check it's the right colour / model etc
• Tuned - we stretch the strings for greater tuning stability
• Set up - we adjust the action (and intonation where possible) for great playability
• Tested - we'll give it a quick play to make sure we like it (tough job huh ?)
• Boxed - we'll wrap your guitar up safe and sound to arrive in A1 condition
