MARK BASS MB58R Mini CMD 121 P COMBO ( s českými titulky) HD 1080p

The Aussie bloke at it again for MarkBass;-)

[@koertdekker]

Thanks for the review! Anyone experience with this Markbass in combination with a double bass with piezo elements? Thanks!

[@pumpichank]

How do you like it for passive pickups, especially like a P bass? I’ve been looking at the new Markbass gear as a backup to my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 combo which I still love as my main rig for small to medium size venues.

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

In the studio where I did the recording, just to the left of camera on the wall is 10 basses. Being an Ibanez Endorsee I was unable to play them in the video, but off camera I did pull down a 74 Fender P, a Dan Armstrong Ampeg bass, a 5 string stingray and a Rickenbacker and I liked it on all of them. Like I say, Mark bass has a tone to it, it is not completely transparent, it has the Mark Bass tone but your bass still sounds like your bass. And I am really liking this new range. I also tried the 210 Combo recently. Also a great combo. So for passive P bass I can highly recommend this. And I had a discussion recently about 1x12 or 2x12 or 2x10, and I have tried lots of them, and honestly, for this price point, you will not find better. The mix of features, the light weight and quality of sound? I think this makes it a certain winner.

@@ToyBoxPlayaReviews Great to hear, thanks. I've been through a lot of amps over the years and actually tried some Markbass amps several years ago but didn't like the tone color at the time. I played a couple locally a few weeks ago w/my P-style Sandberg and was more pleasantly surprised with the new line. I'll check out your vids on cabinets. Price (this will be my backup) weight and size count a lot, but of course tone and to some extent power are important. Really appreciate your review and reply!

Hi, I have a Ibanez sr405 and was wondering how the 12 handels a b string at a loud volume? Easy to sound good at low volume.

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

Hey there mate. It’s tight and punchy and does not distort out. I have used both this and the 2x10 version in various live situations with 5 and 6 string and various effects like octave etc and it’s really clean and tight. Personally I am a 10 guy, I just prefer that size speaker, and to be honest, it’s probably just a placebo/can’t teach and old dog new tricks thing but both these amps handle medium venues and stages fine. And depending on style of music of stage volumes of your companions, it’s good for big gigs too. I have played large stage festivals with it also with no issue. And with a second 12 extension? Well you good to go for any gig in my opinion.Cheers for watching ✌️❤️

Is it enough good for studio recording? I`m trying to find affordable bass amp that will give some life and weight to the tone. I got sick and tired of plugins. Kind regards.

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

Yes, great for studio. Nice tone variations and very musical. With Markbass in the studio I normally run the DI pre EQ and mic up the speaker but obviously, there is the option to run the DI post as well. Very good sounding and portable combo.

[@KeithCopeland778]

Sounds good! How does this compare to the Mini CMD 121P IV?

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

To be honest, they are very similar beasts in a lot of ways but I am loving these new poly boxes and I like the position of the head. Both sound great but this one in the video would win for me✌️

[@KeithCopeland778]

@@ToyBoxPlayaReviews Thank you!!! I like the 121p IV because it has more power, more EQ options, and more features. However, I just discovered that there is an MB58R mini CMD 121 Pure that has the same specs but weighs only 21 lbs with Neo speakers!!!!!!. This is the one to get!

[@davidjung8194]

Is it normal for that Hi-Fi tweeter to hiss? I just got mine today and I’m a bit worried about it as it is my first amp

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

Hey mate, no, I had no hiss. I mean if you turn it way up it will make some noise but unless it’s cranked, the one I had had no strong audible hiss✌️

[@JeanV1986]

There is more hiss with the hifi tweeter of the Pure version (the one I have), which is kind of weird, but it is reported to be "normal".

[@avientoeventi5119]

300 w rms or 500w rms ?

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

This amp?? Is 500 watts if you plug and extension cab and 300 without. The volume is basically the same with the extension cab but it just sounds “bigger” and a bit more head room.

[@Herby701]

you've got a fairly amount of buzz on your B-string, your neck needs some adjustment I think.

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

Hey Herby, Thanks for the feedback mate. No, yeah, everyone likes it different, according to what I do though it needs no adjustment, that’s the way I set my two SR5006 basses. The crunch and buzz is part of my sound. I get it as crunchy as I can before it losses sustain or chokes the notes, that is my preferred set up in those puppies so it’s super aggressive and percussive. Cheers ✌️

$$$ ???

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

They retail for about 800 euro I believe 🤟😉 killer combo

[@MUPHYSLAWTV]

I love Mark bass but this amp is trash

[@jtbass]

Why specifically do you think it is trash? I'm in the market for one of the new MB combos, so I'm curious about your feedback. Thanks.

[@MUPHYSLAWTV]

@@jtbass this am is basically just for practice is sounds horrible I have the come 102 p and it’s has the best punch ever, the best combo mark bass makes in my opinion any of their 4/10 cabinets or any 10 inch combos are the best, big speakers dirty up the sound

[@MUPHYSLAWTV]

@@jtbassplus it’s easy to clip these big speakers

[@jtbass]

@@MUPHYSLAWTV Got it, thanks! Yeah, I'm more interested in the MB58R CMD 102 PURE Combo with an 8 ohm MB58R 102 PURE extention cab to unlock the full 500 watts when I need it. I was also considering going with a MB58R 104 PURE cab and one of the MB heads, but I already have a "larger" and more powerful rig in my GK Fusion 1200 and neo cab, so I was looking for a smaller and more portable solution for situations that are not appropriate for the GK.

[@ToyBoxPlayaReviews]

Hey guys, no I do not agree, active or passive basses it’s not easy to clip these speakers. The amp input is pretty sensitive but if the input gain is right these speakers go pretty darn loud. Having said that I am and always have been a 10 guy and smaller gigs and rehearsals I use the 2x10 version and on big gigs I use Ninja heads and 4x10 pure cabs. But THE BEST mark bass I ever played was the Alain Caron K1 super combo. That thing is incredible! That’s the only 12 I ever truly liked and the amp it’s self? I was playing massive stages with just that and it’s 1x12 extension. Killer. But these new cabs and combos rock
