Markbass Minimark

[King Tut]

How loud are these little things? Has anyone got one? Could I keep up with a drummer and guitarist in a trio (using PA support)?

Any experiences let me know,

Cheers

Have only played one in a music shop but IMO they are only good for bedroom practice.

I don't think they are actually intended to be used for anything more than that. I certainly don't think you would hear yourself even with a quiet drummer.

Blimey - that's one expensive practice amp then!!

That's what I thought. I was trying one in a shop in Rotteram that was moving and had a 20% off sale. I didn't buy even at that price.

'Nuff said.

Reckon I'll be sticking with my Cube 100 for those smaller gigs!

I've got to admit to being a tad confused reading your posts, the Minimark is capable of being a 250 watt amp, which would be a little loud as a bedroom amp.



whereas the Micromark is a 50 watt amp


Machinehead can you clarify which one you've tried?

[King Tut]

I wondered if machinehead was describing the ame amp - whaddya say matey??

[machinehead]

oooops.

Yes, it was the micromark I tried. Sorry chaps.

Still stand over what I said regarding the micromark although the minimark is probably a different matter.

Much as I love markbass gear (and I've owned a range of their amps and cabs), I can't help feeling there's better value to be had elsewhere in the smaller combos.

I've been wondering about one of these too, so the [url="http://www.markbass.it/press.php?lingua=en&leggi=108"]review[/url] in Bass Guitar magazine looks encouraging. I like the idea of the basic controls, and I don't need 3-band EQ on the amp, when I have it on my bass already.
