Took a punt on this £10 Park amp off Reverb,not too far away.I mean built in compressor,50w,6band graphic.
A bit gruby,this was taken after it was scrubbed down!!. I think there may be a problem,but for a tenner,worth a shot
especialy if it can be sorted.

After a glorious start, Park was eventually reduced to being Marshall's budget line. Amongst the Marshall bass amp ranges, there was the Dynamic Bass System, the cheaper Bassstate and, finally, the Park like yours. The latter two have cabinets constructed from MDF. These are prone to flatulence under extreme loudspeaker excursion. (All the more incentive not to crank them up very loud.)

You've cleaned the outside. It is probably worthwhile doing the same inside. Remove any dust, grime or cobwebs. Check for dry/cold solder joints. Squirt electrolube into the pots and sliders.

Your photograph reminded me that my Squier VM Jazz Bass is still on seemingly permanent loan to my brother.

Neckwringer

Yeah, I took the chassis out and sprayed all the pots and sliders,gave it a look over and could'nt see owt wrong.
Just played that Squire fretless through it today and it was faultless.

Some of the park solid state guitar practice amps sounded pretty good. A couple of my mates had them when we were younger and they made mine sound kinda pants.

£10?!! You can't even buy a Behringer graphic EQ pedal for that.

It's essentially a Marshall BassState built in India - or Indonesia, I forget which for this series.

If there is anything wrong with it, it's fixable - they're very simple analogue technology and pretty easy to work on as well. The worst case is a blown speaker, but even replacing that should be less than the cost of almost any other amp.

That's the first Squier Jazz Bass I've ever seen with no fretboard markers.
Did you have them removed?

Squier VM Jazz Bass fretless, trying to resemble the defretted Fender bass of Jaco Pastorius. 

Ebanol fingerboard has "cheat" fret slot lines and side position dots. No pickguard or metal screen screw holes!

Ah! I forgot they did some there too. Makes no odds, it's still decent enough quality.

I didn't realise it was a lined fretless. I was referring to dots on the face of the fretboard, not along the edge of the neck.
It looks like a fretted bass.
