If you want the best sounding practice amp, then look no further. The features are few but I really like the VLE and VPF filters. That's all you have for tonal qualities. At 20 pounds it is the best sounding small package you can get. But do you want to spend this much for a practice amp? Okay, this amp would be great for studio applications, too. But if you need volume and you're not going through the pa then you'll need to get a cab. Then you've basically got a head that you've paid a whole lot for and a heavy cabinet, which is the reason I looked to the minimark - bass rigs just weigh so much. My biggest complaint is that the two 6" speakers just won't cut it past 12 o'clock. My 15 year old Peavey TKO 115 is louder, just not as tonally rich. My Yamaha BBT500-115 has the tone and volume, but is a back breaker for an old timer to lug around.

I have a 79' Rick, a 79' Guild B302, a Tobias Killer B w/ Bartolini's, a Godin A4, and an 80's American P w/ EMG's. The basses w/ active pickups sound good (just not loud enough for even garage rehearsal) but the basses w/out active pickups don't fair well. My B302 is a thunder machine, but this amp just breaks up anything on E unless I turn it down below 10 o'clock. So in my mind, this kind of money for what is essentially a high quality practice amp is not money wisely spent.

Big Sound

Very surprised at the volume this puts out. Pleasantly surprised, since that was my main concern. Tired of lugging around my old Fender Bxr 15in combo, this thing is 40lb lighter, and has 50 more watts before you attach an extension cab.

I use it at a large church without help from the main soundboard. It isn't at rock club levels, but doesn't need to be for my setting. Much easier to lug around, with power to spare if I ever need an extension cabinet.

Simple controls, but punchy tone. Surprisingly flexible, transparent from the bass to the speakers. I use a Washburn 8 string with active pickups.

Big Punch in a Small Package

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It's a little expensive so if your on a tight budget look elsewhere but if you can afford it and your in a small space such as a apartment this thing is amazing. Great range in sound with some of the most clear deep lows I have ever heard, it's nice to have the option to add a cab too, and with the headphone jack you can practice in the apartment without getting evicted. Not much in the way of features but when your talking about under 20 pounds, 150-250 watts and something that could fit under the couch or really ANYWHERE, I wouldn't expect to to many features. I will never buy anything that's not markbass again!

More than meets the eye

No hiss. Great volume and very good bass sound. Shockingly powerful. The best thing about this amp is loading it. Still, it is surprisingly capable and has great timber.

I gave it a 3 on features because the EQ is limited. But I easily solved this with a direct box that has EQ.

Great for touring, which I do often.

The Best Little Practice Amp

Posted by Bassman from St. Louis, MO on Sep 11, 2008

This little MarkBass captures the 70's bass sound and sounds like a bass amp should with deep growling lows. I've had an Ampeg, Fender, Eden and Phil Jones - this little MarkBass is incredible and blows away the others. The sound is perfect, it's great to have a big rig sound in a little package. This amp is made in Italy. Why would anyone buy an amp from China when they can get this great amp from Europe?
