      Markbass CMD 102P 300/500W 2x10 Tilt-Back Bass Combo Amp (481794)
Availability:  


Excellent sound controls, quality speakers, and a solid design.

The Markbass CMD 102P is a tilt-back bass combo amplifier that has a built-in Little Mark II solid state preamp to give you more power. To help shape your sound, the CMD 102P bass amp gives you a 4-band EQ, as well as VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) and VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) filters for control.

The Markbass CMD 102P amp's I/O includes an input that can handle both passive and active basses, and extra XLR balanced input for double bass pickups, Neutrik Speakon Combo out jacks for use with 1/4" or Speakon speaker cables, a tuner out jack for sending unbalanced signals to a tuner, amp, or other recording equipment, and Send and Return Effect jacks to ensure your main signal continues even if something dies in your effects chain. This versatile bass combo has an angled cabinet so that you can use it as a floor model or in the more traditional vertical position. Either way, you're going to get a warm, natural sound from the 2 B&C 10" speakers and the piezo tweeter. And if you add an external cab via the outputs, the CMD 102P combo amp will give you enough sound to fill a large venue with headroom to spare.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • Great amp best sound

    As reviewed by Ron Mead on 2/20/2010

    I needed a cabinet that I could move without breaking my back. Moving this amp is a dream. I have played through many amps including 60's amps in the 60's. The tube emulator sounds a lot like the sound we use to get from the tube amps. Lots of different sounds. Great punch and low end.

  • Tried it and Liked it

    As reviewed by Kim Wettering on 8/6/2009

    I had the opportunity to sit in with a band recently that has the Markbass 102P in the line. Having been a Crate to Ampeg to whatever guy in the past,with the "bigger is better" mindset I can say that I was totally blown away with the sound out of this little 2x10 box. There was nothing it couldn't do. Played a short scale Hoffy to a fretless Tobias through it and it was remarkable.

  • A combo that doesn't act like a combo

    As reviewed by Fumanchu on 9/29/2010

    Bottom line, if you are like most musicians and are performing around town at venues that hold 100-1000 people and utilize a PA for sound support, this is an amazing amp. Nothing will ever replace an SVT and roadies for large venues, but this is the amp for the rest of us who have to actually haul their own gear. Amazing tone on stage and most impressively it fills the room with a very warm and even presence. I run a wireless and my sound off stage just from stage volume alone is impressive. Our sound guy recorded straight from the board and solo'd my bass signal for me to hear during playback and this thing sounds amazing. Most combos are a joke for real gigging or weigh so much that they no longer are convenient. Do yourself a favor and believe the ridiculously positive and glowing reviews about Markbass. Pony up the money and sell your kidney because this is worth every penny.
