Markbass cmd 102p

[Delamitri79]

Hey folks

 

I'm thinking of buying the markbass cmd 102p for gigging with a 5 piece wedding band and a 3 piece pub band. I play a 5 string g&l l2500 tribute and I'll have FOH support on both gigs. 

Will the combo sound nice and full for a stage monitor and will it handle the 5 string low end stuff pretty well? 

 

Many thanks

Should sound good in both circumstances…. I would just add, I had a 121P combo with a rock/pop covers band many years ago, and found it lacking a bit, both in terms of headroom and tone.

 

Beautifully made, light, a nice thing, but just not my sound, even with a NY121 extension cab it struggled to punch through. 
 

I do know though, that plenty of others have been really happy with theirs.

Really happy with mine, no problems dialling in a great sound. Plenty of punch too.

Used one for five or six years without any problem.

I gigged an old Italian built CMD102 for quite a while - really good amp, no problems at all...

I pranked the mrs with mine the other day by turning it up to around 80% volume with my 5 string. Apparently everything was shaking and she was in a mood for hours, so yes it’s loud enough 😁

Thank you so much everyone. You've all put my mind at ease so I'm away now to order one. I'll post pics when she arrives 

 

Muchos gracias

An HPF will go a long way to ensuring 5 string happiness.

Can't go wrong with a CMD102p.

I had one for about 5-6 years. Bought it about 15 years ago IIRC. 

Great combo & sounds best put on its side. 
I never played a 5 string through it, but my rig was synth/dubstep focused & went lower than the low B on a 5er.
