these real band jams have to be the biggest upgrade to andertons videos in a long time, love it
@tedayre29 күн бұрын
Just a note for anyone else that is confused, they mention that the Markbass CMB 121 in the video has a 15 inch speaker, but it doesn't, it has a 12 inch speaker. This is why they compare it to the Fender Rumble 100, as that also has a 12 inch speaker. If anyone is after the 15 inch speaker version of the MarkBass then Andertons also stock this, and it's called the CMB 151, and is a bit taller, and a bit heavier, but still 150W. Otherwise, lovely energy and playing as always!

Just loaded my Rumble 200 into the car for a gig tonight. I love it, and in terms of sound it comes somewhere between the Ampeg VR (in the rehearsal room) and the Mark Bass Little Mark head I used to use. I loved the Mark Bass, but my feel was that it was definately more jazz voiced than rock. Really comes down to style of music, so I'm on the same page as CIci.

I have a Rumble 200 and a MarkBass head. I love them both. I play rock. I occasionally put an overdrive pedal in front of the Markbass. If you want a cheap, loud, decent sounding gigging amp, the Rumble 200 is very loud and portable.

According to your web site it has a 12" speaker (not 15") and it's $349 (not $359) FYI

Thank you !!!! It was driving me crazy hearing this guy say it's a 15" speaker. It's clearly the 112. The dimensions are shorter than the Rumble 100. It is a GREAT sound ........and I just may need to replace my upgraded R100.......

Great video, and you two work really well together! ❤ That said, I heard of Mark Bass from Ellen Plays Bass! [Ellen Alaverdyan and her Dad, a killer guitarist] I LOVE that their bigger amps have a mid-high driver. That would really spell out the harmonics that all Basses have! Back in my day, a friend had a Rickenbacker, 4001. It was LOADED with harmonics, and sounded really transparent.

Well I'd rather have a real amp than a Rumble. This one sounds pretty good. Very clean but not too cold. I'm considering it...I've got my eye on an Orange Crush as well but I'm not sure it can do soul/jazz/blues as well as it does rock. Idk I might need both 😁

I still think that the Fender Rumble is more flexible with the EQ modes and built in (switchable) overdrive.
@billffitch17878 ай бұрын
I was reluctant to buy my Fender Rumble 100 initially, but the weight ratio to wattage was too good to pass up, and the price was right …the bonus is none of the other band mates complain about carrying it!
@kenjohnson35227 ай бұрын
I agree.......I put the 150 watt Eminence Neo in my R100. It's all documented step-by-step on Talkbass. It improved the tone / clarity tremendously. It now weighs 20.6 lbs. Consider it if you want an upgrade.

Do you think the 121 is good enough for jamming? Some alternative rock, funk and classic rock?

Yes, of course. They were jamming in this video as a bass duet; which would be roughly equivalent to a guitar, bass, and a reasonable drummer. But the drummer would have to be slightly subdued (maybe).

Disappointed with the bad info given in this demo. It would be impossible to squeeze a 15" speaker in that MB cab. Especially seeing the rumble right next to it. If somehow they could squeeze it in it would be a bad design.

What is the context? I would have thought hearing an instrument in isolation is the best way to hear how it sounds.
@sillysausage45498 ай бұрын
@mrpositronia depends on your perspective I suppose. I recognise the importance of bass, but only as a bedrock to more "musical" instruments and in conjunction with drums. It always sounds dull and lifeless to me in isolation, because of the frequencies it produces. But I'll grant that bassists might want to hear it like this.
