Amplifier upgrade.

Here's something I may need to address before adding another bass. There are a couple of amplifier set ups that I'd like to have in order to satisfy any possible gigging scenarios.

1. MarkBass CMD 151P Jeff Berlin Signature Combo.



I really admire Jeff as a musician and bassist. He's very outspoken when it comes to formal training to be the best musician you can be. He founded the Player's School of Music in Clearwater Florida and I hope to be able to attend one day. If nothing else, I'd like to attend their One Week Intensive session. At 300 watts, this should be able to handle most situations that come along. Here's a great demo by the man himself.



2. Greenboy Audio fEARless f112

My dream cab! These are not mass produced cabinets. They're not churned out by the hundreds daily at some factory in a foreign country. They're made-to-order and use the highest quality parts and materials available; 12-millimeter, 9-ply Baltic birch plywood for the enclosure, a 12" Eminence Kappalite LF woofer, a 5" FaitalPro midrange driver and a variety of finished, covers and grills. Here's a video demonstration by Ed Friedland.



To drive this incredible enclosure I'd like to get a MarkBass Little Mark 800 head (800 watts in a 6.31 pound package), and just for some variety, a BBE BMAX preamp coupled with a Carvin HD3000 power amp.
