Thank You Lee, wish you’ll enjoy your new rig for years to come! 💛💛 Marco & Markbass family

Lee seems like the nicest most pleasant dude, and he's a super great player. Enjoy your rig, bro. And I just can't help but love Cici.

And thanks to Cici too 🤘

Struggling to understand why people in the comments aren't blown away by Lee's incredible bass work 😂. Great player!

Well, instead of playing a bass in the upper/higher note areas, how about play a bass in the lower octave areas. I find it unfathomable as to why a large portion of bass demonstrations are focused on the upper higher notes. It’s a bass, dudes.

I like this guy, he's really enthusiastic and I hope he has years of pleasure from New Amp Day.

Cici absolutely kills it, just awesome! 😎

This always makes me want to buy a bass.

I never actually find that these product reviews to be scam. I bought my Fender rumble amp because their reviews are detailed, spot on, and the most important thing, they did almost no cut on these reviews, and always take their time to explore what the products can do. They're truly my favourite

Really disappointed you didn't mic the cabs, we're missing out on half the fun! Especially after talking about their tone and what they add.

Love these two, great chemistry, and both great bassists. ❤

Should have mic'd up the cabs so we could hear them.

Thank you for doing this video! I feel like there aren’t many Markbass reviews. I’ve finally decided to upgrade and started purchasing Markbass gear myself. Currently have the 4x10 cab. 15 will be coming next week.

I just watched the GK vs Mark Bass video the other day. I can see where Lee got the desire to get the Mark Bass, as it sounded more his style. It just doesn't sound like Cici's groove. She still makes it sound good, but Cici just sounds more like Cici on her Ashdown ABM. My main amps are Ashdown too and I too like more Blues/Rock styles like Cici plays in her band. I haven't reached the Ambient/Prog styles as Cici does in her solo music, but that should come in time with much more practice.

Definitely should have Cici on more, cool perspective and counterpoint to Lee!

I want this guy to make gear videos… but also read to pre-schoolers at story time. 😁

I like big cabs and I cannot lie

Love seeing Lee so excited for his new toys.😆

17:40 Not sure what Cici's first "noodle" was, but I could listen to it all day ❤

Have to agree with Cici on 15 inch speakers. For extra oomph, I pair up my Rumble 200 with a GK MBE 1x15 cab (Celestion and Fender grill cloth covering the metal grill). Perfect fit, and the two 15s suit my P bass with flats just great.

That setup definitely looks awesome and sounds great as well, I can tell he’s gonna have fun playing that live

I wish they used the room mics to hear the cabs

I have been running the tube 800 for a long time now. Looooooooooooooove that amp. So much power on tap. I have the older version of the 410 and 115. That combo is an absolute earth shaker!!

One great amp and two great bass players...👍🏼

we have a bass section too. congrats on your Markbass. happy playing.

Excellent...haven't played bass live for over thirty years but that is a great looking and sounding rig! Jealous!

Congrats man. It's pretty awesome

I'm a Mesa Boogie guy (Subway setup currently) but I like the Mark stuff also. My band's bassist plays Mark and I like the sounds he can get

I got a Tube 800 thinking it would be my 'dream head', but I just couldn't get along with it. The biggest issue, for me, was the 'high-mids' are way low at 800Hz, and the 'high' is 10kHz. That leaves nothing from 1kHz to 8kHz, which is exactly where I like a little bit of a boost for some 'sparkle'. Ultimately, any tone I tried to dial in sounded 'sterile' somehow. That and I never could really tell much difference between the 'solid state' and 'tube' section. I looked in there and it's just got a dinky little tube the size of a pencil tip eraser. I sold it and got a Vintage D2, which sounds a LOT better with a parametric EQ and a full-sized tube in the preamp. The current Vintage 58r also has a better (IMO) 'high-mid' EQ point at 2.2kHz, which is dang near perfect!

Looks amazing ❤ Jelous of how light it looks. My old Marshall has a channel blend for it's solid state and tube channels works wonders 👍 Hope this will also last you 20+ years.

The whole rig is lighter than an SVT Tube Head only.

That 410 is almost 1/3 the weight of my first 410 🤣 That’ll feel like a bag of crisps by comparison on a flight of stares!

Congrats on new gear!

I started in 2, 15s, Bag End. Then when t to 2, 12s Epifani600 wat.. it's enough for me even with the double bass. I split the speakers stage left and right or do a cross stack like an X. These Markbass speakers and amps sound really good. Always save your back.

Looks great Lee !

These two, very charming.

I bought a Tube800 head when they first came out. Think it was about 15 years later the disappointment came when it gave up the ghost. Honestly I’d buy another in a heartbeat if I was still gigging

That is a fantastic looking rig, hope you enjoy it! That being said though, didn't we bust the '10s for highs and 15s for lows' thing about 60 years ago?

I tried that rig with the corvette at rehearsal, that sounds amazing!

WOuld love to see you two tackle a real old school rig. 1950's Precision into a Fender Bassman for example?

I wonder what the cabs sound like

I've got a Little Marcus 1000 head, an MB58R 4x10 Pure and an MB58R 2x12 Pure cab - tone for absolute days and days. Enjoy the new rig Lee!

Congrats on the new 'Barn Conversion Buster'. That should do the job nicely.

I have the single 12" combo and I think it weighs about the same as one of those - that's wild. They sound amazing. I run mine with everything pretty much as 12 noon - flat.

Awesome content 🎸😍🤘🏻

Looks amazing … but my man MIC THE CABS 😑

26:30 the ABM series Ashdowns had the the knob for tube/solid state blend

Thanks Guys!!!💛🖤💛🖤

That's from room mics? 😮 Update - no it's DI

UNLEASH HELL CC, nice one guys enjoyed the vid.

thanks guys.

What do you think of the lightweight cabs sounds good to me but I have heard they do not go the lowest or deepest sounding if you will. I am not saying this is true or not what is your take on the cabs ..

Not sure who's told you that, I have a very similar setup to Lees in the video and I'm on my low B string a lot. These cabs have no problems shaking stages apart.

I don't need a new bass rig, but damn if this video doesn't trigger GAS!

thats a good bit of kit, but what a modern bass amp really needs is a volume control that is operated by the rest of the band and NOT the bassist. i've never met a bass player who didnt keep upping their volume during a set cos they 'cant hear themelves properly'.

It’s been forever since I had to have any type of amp… almost jealous. But our sound guy kill me if I ever did that, I’ll have to stick with the sansamp.

800 watts.. just a little baby..😮😮😮

Red Giant Red Giant Red Giant YeahYeah🤘

Lov Cici, thank for having her back

Bassists always gotta be over compensating... 🤭 jkjk don't drag me pls 😂

Looks cool but i guarantee that based on the sound literally no one in the audience would ever be able to tell you got a new bass amp. Guitar amps are unique and different, bass amps are the fender bassman then every other bass amp ive ever played sounds exactly the same.

Have to disagree, I’ve played a ton of amps, including this exact one, it sounds very different. Think oh how many different bass tones there are, is that all in the pickups or wood or something? SVTs sound a lot different to bassmans, as do old vox amps, as do mesas, and especially my orange sounds like absolutely nothing else. They all sound like bass, but back to back the differences are there, if not stupidly substantial in most cases

I mean, you can definitely tell. But regardless, he literally says in the video that the point is to upgrade to a bigger rig for bigger gigs, not a new tone.
