My current rig is a 1998 GK RB800 -- 1998 Ampeg 410 HLF-- 2006(?) Epifani 115. The GK is Bi- amp - so one output for each cabinet = 400watts. The amp can be played loud and it retains all EQ settings with no distortion or change in sound. I run all the knobs near 12 o'clock and volumes at 12 o'clock. That gives it plenty of volume for anything. I've never had any issues with any of the components.

I've heard good things about the Mark Bass LM Tube 800 head. :)


I don't know about other player's LM Tube 800's, but this one Booms through the Ampeg H:SVT-410HLF. Great sounds.

I believe Victor Bailey is using the Little Mark LM Tube 800 & is now a Mark Bass Artist.

Markbass is a decent amp. I haven't heard of any performance issues with Markbass either.

I have 2 rigs right now that I mix and match at times.
I have an Ampeg SVT 350 solid state head that I mostly use with a GK 4x10 cab.
I also have a TC Electronic rig with a 500W head and 2x12 and 2x10 cabs. The head went out on me 2 weeks ago.
I bought an Eden WTX500 head and played it out on Friday with my TCE cabs. I'm quite happy with the Eden head and it will be my main amp for awhile. To my ears it's the best sounding amp I've played through so far.

I've been gigging a GK MB Fusion 800 and 212 NEO recently and love it. I'm really looking forward to trying the new rumbles out though.

Nice GK rig Jwood ....... :) I also can't wait to try the new Rumble amps,......they're shipping to stores as we speak so it should be long before they're in music stores.

I have an SVT 350 solid state full size SVT amp cabinet. I have been using it for the Country band I sit in with but it's not loud enough for them. It is a good sounding amp but those country players always want more. You'd think they were Heavy Metal the way they want more bass!! I turned it up so loud that it did something to one of the speakers in my Hartke cabinet! Now I'm bummed. Do you find the ss SVT loud enough for what you are doing? I play in Juke Joints with mine so there seems to be a need for more penetration.

Stroker - yeah maybe the SVT isn't loud enough for some places, but for others it's fine. It depends most on how loud the guitars get and what the room is like. I like the tone of this amp a lot.
OTOH, I've been quite happy with my new Eden WTX500. I've used it on 3 gigs and one practice and I'm starting to get it dialed in. It has great tone and really growls when you dig in.

Yeah I like the tone of mine too. I guess I'm going to take the SVT and one 4-10 and then My SWR Red Head and a 1-15 and use my A/B box and see what happens.
