I'm not sure what is in the manual, but I recall reading somewhere that with the new power supply designs there has been some changes how certain amps handle different impedance settings.
I've always heard good stuff about the Markbass line. Right now I'm eyeing one of the older (Redline series) Carvin 2x10 combos to use at church. In my head an amp that will tilt back would be ideal for what I think I want for church. I played a Redline a few years ago doing a session for a friend of mine and the tone has just been stuck in my head as an ideal modern bass tone. |
Markbass has so many configurations, its insane. I wasn't sold on them originally - they just seemed kinda gimmicky or something, but after watching a few videos of professional groups and I spot the bright yellow through the mist and lights, and also just playing them myself - I'm becoming a fan. Plus, its tough to beat how lightweight and compact their stuff is.
Honestly, these hybrid amps have really done it for me. I was convinced I needed to go full-tube, but with the TTE 800 (Randy Jackson) and now this LM Tube 800, I feel there is hope for the hybrid world. I might try to sell my entire Acoustic setup and put that toward my upgrades. I'll keep my old Hartke rig as a backup or practice setup.
I've heard a lot of good things about their combos as well. You might also look at the TC Electronics single 15 cab (I think its a BG250). That thing takes Markbass and raises it one - its light, great tone, and has some crazy tech features like wireless effects and various other really neat/quirky features. You might check those out if you get the chance.
