Designed by legendary bass soloist Jeff Berlin.

Jeff Berlin teamed up with Markbass to create this sweet signature bass combo amp, the CMD 151P. Jeff is a master bass soloist who has been playing with some of the greats for the past 30 years, including Isaac Hayes, Bill Buford, John Mclaughlin, and the Brecker Brothers, just to name a few.

Like the other CMD amp models, the 151 combo has a built-in Little Mark II preamp to help you achieve your own signature sound. The Markbass CMD 151 also has 4-band EQ and VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) and VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) filters. Unlike other bass amplifiers, the Markbass CMD 151 has no tweeter. Jeff doesn't believe in them. And if you listen to any of his performances, you'll notice there's nothing missing in his sound. The 400W 15" B&C speaker will give you all the sound you need with a tone you'll find impeccably unique and warm. Just like Jeff Berlin's playing.

I bought this amp after comparing it with several in its class because of its superior tone...The fact that is was solid state worried me at first (I'm a believer in tubes) but the tone is amazing. The VPF & VLE knobs makes it easy to get diferent (quality) tones on the fly. I have been a faithful Ampeg user for many years but this amp is almost as impresive. But I gave it 4.5 stars for the following reasons: first... this amp does not have a tweeter which limits it when it comes to modern rock sounds..also it will not growl (Ampeg users know what I mean) second...It does lose some tone quality if you turn it up above halfway (not severe but noticeable) Third...Its not that loud for a three hundred watt amp. But at a moderate volume, for blues and funk this amp decimates all....I would buy a Markbass amp again...they are a bit pricey but very high quality. So if you don't need extreme volume and want a light weight amp with great warm tone...this is a good buy...

Markbass CMD 151 Jeff Berlin Bass Combo

This is one of the punchiest, musical amps I have ever played through.

I wanted a quality combo with plenty of bottom end and this is the ticket.

I have played several of my bass guitars through this both active and passive and I can tell you it performs well with all of them.

My favorite though is a Steinberger XP2 with tapewound strings, a match made in heaven.

The amp is lightweight and very easy to move around. I use it in a home studio setting.

This amp is loud enough for small club settings. It also rattles the walls of my house.

I highly recommend this amp, especially if you are looking for lightweight power punching bottom end.
