Product Description

Here's what Markbass have to say: 

Our flagship combo Mini CMD 121P has changed the bass amp market forever. Never have bassists been able to get such great tone and volume from such a light and portable amp. This new version with Little Mark IV Combo head features the new bi-band limiter, a MUTE switch and the 3-way switch that includes the options of Flat, Scooped or FSW. As for previous version it can be easily upgraded to a powerful 2x12" 500W rig with the addition of a New York 121 cabinet.

After years from its initial release in the 2005, this combo continues to lead the pack when it comes to big sound from a small package. The sound that comes from this amp simply does not match what you see when you look at such a small cube.

Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-balanced flat tone, a scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 'FSW' option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch.

Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.

If you add the New York 121 to the Mini CMD 121P combo, you’ll have a 500W 2x12” stack able to fill a large venue with headroom to spare.

Even when stacked on a New York 121 cabinet (which has the same dimensions), this combo creates a footprint on stage of only 15” x 14”. You'll never have a problem fitting this rig on even the smallest of stages!

Mr Nigel Hawketts17th Sep 2022

I bought this to replace a Phil Jones rig which I really loved but became too heavy when I got old. This tiny lightweight combo seems to defy the laws of physics. With EQ virtually flat it has a punchy, tight and articulate tone across all strings, with no boominess. I love the 'old school' control which seems to round off top and bottom extremes to give a real P-bass thump, regardless of which bass I'm using. I love it, and it even fits in the back of my Polo without folding the seats down. I assumed I'd need to add a New York cab, but I'll see how it goes. I play mainly small clubs now and so far it more than copes alone.
