Glad to hear that, Marc.
Now, go conquer the world! 
Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
Will do. One Markbass amp, into one Orange cabinet at a time
Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
hi,Marc,did you find out about the speaker cable? i just purchased an avatar b112 cabinet to add to my markbass combo,and want to buy a speakon cable for it,but am confused by the multi-tap varieties? i would like to get speakon jacks on both ends of the cable,i would think the markbass side would be the 2-tap variety,not sure about the speaker cabinet (which is just a 1-12 speaker with an inline tweeter)...it worked okay with a regular 1/4 type cord,but i thought i would try the speakon. a ready-made 3 ft cord seems to run about $20.
Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
Woody, you just need the 2 pole Speakon NL2 (even if you were PW you'd only need two Poles, him plus one other
).
Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
excellent! i just found a new neutrik 12 gauge 3 foot 2 pole cable on ebay for $18 shipped., it's better if i don't have to mess with wires or much anything mechanical for that matter!
Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
Speakons are almost easier to wire up than tying your shoes.

He probably wears slip-ons...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
ummm ummm ummmm All I know is I cut off the ends of my existing speaker cable and put the speakons on...and it worked...(I'm so technical).Not sure if this makes sense but, it seems like a clearer tone. Played outside yesterday and I thought it was awesome.
Re: cheap speaker cable causing my Markbass problems
(the slip-ons comment made me laugh this morning!)(actually i do like topsiders.....) Let's just say i am challenged by a complete indifference to doing work of that nature when i can buy ready-made for a few pennies more......

But, you'll never become one with your gear, then.
