Big-time, fat output from a bass combo weighing less than 30 lb!

The Markbass Mini CMD 121P is a bass combo amplifier that gives you fat sound with electric or acoustic basses. That makes the Mini CMD 121P amp perfect for rehearsal studios or small club applications. The Markbass Mini CMD 121P comes with a built-in Little Mark II bass head in the top rear area. Bassists will appreciate the Markbass-designed Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator and Variable Pre-shape Filter which help give this Mini CMD a warm natural sound. The Little Mark II also has a Neutrik Speakon combo jack output that accepts both Speakon or 1/4" speaker cable as well as a second 1/4" speaker out jack so you can hook up to another 8 ohm cab for a 500W rig. You'll also find a balanced XLR out, unbalanced tuner out so you can tune as you play without passing your signal through pedals. A Send and Return Effect loop protects you from losing your signal if one of your pedals dies or a cable in the chain gives out.

I've carried around old school acoustic, sunn, and ampeg. Jazz it up, funk it up, rock it up. It doesn't matter it sounds a good (if not better) than anything mentioned above. And you have to dig the black and yellow color. If you can afford it, buy it. Great Job, Pisano.

Great Small Amp- Huge Tone

I purchased this little combo used after hearing it used by a bassist in Seattle who played with a horn band in a large ballroom. Talked to him after the gig and was surprised to hear that he used this amp- with no feed to the PA. Incredible. I bought one used, and have been using it ever since. I get numerous compliments on my tone. This thing is a hot little amp. I have a nice Eden WT-800 that I can run through a couple Bergantino HT322 cabs which sounds incredible as well. However, I have found myself using this little jewel almost all the time due to the ease of transporting (under 30lbs) and outstanding sound. I won't part with the Eden and Bergies, but the MarkBass has made me consider a more than once.

I'm an upright player, and I was have a difficult time getting a natural sound from my Genz Benz. But, this an amazing amp for upright player. Very natural tone, small, and loud. Price is a little steep though

Great amp, but overpriced

I tried this amp at a local music store. I couldn't believe this teeny, tiny box made that much sound!! I was expecting a decent combo for small venues and rehearsal, but when I hit my low B string, this thing punched me hard! I think this amp is more than enough for small to medium indoor gigs, rehearsals, recording sessions, etc. I don't think that it would hold its own outdoors without the aid of PA because the cabinet is so small.

Like any gear, PLAY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT!! For me, this amp sounds like a cool hybrid of 10's and 15's -- plenty of punch with the underlying thud. Many 12's fail at this tone. The mids "woofed" a bit, but I kind of liked it! This little combo, overall, delivered smooth tone with neat interpretations of the fingerstyle nuances I was throwing at it. Versitile combo, easy controls to dial in good tones, WAY overpriced. I might like it enough to save the money to buy it, but I'll be saving a long time. Once I reach $500 - $700, I'll be able to get another combo that sports as many watts and moves more air... Play and decide for yourself. :)
