I looked into Markbass after hearing a local player, Glen Ackerman, do a gig on upright and electric using the Markbass 121p combo.... It sounded great. At the time I was using a Walter woods and a bag end 115b but I was struggling to get the clarity I wanted. Once I tried the Markbass 121p I was hooked. The amp sounded great and was light weight and portable for the times when I need to get in and out quick. I have used it for a few big band rehearsals and church services and it had been great.
After a few weeks of enjoying the little amp I decided to look into the rest of the Markbass line to see if there was another set up that would work for my larger gigs with RSB and others where a small combo wouldn't cut it.
I always loved the versatility of the Walter Woods since I like to have a channel for my upright and electric each with their own EQ. I could never really find another amp that offered this that I liked. Then I came across the Markbass MoMark LMK. It is a modular amp that allows you to remove and replace the preamp module, EQ module and master volume module individually to get the amp set up that works best for you. I went with the LMK set up that gives me 2 channels each with their own gain and EQ.
I paired the head with the Markbass 104r cab and I am loving the result.
Here is a quick pic from my gig with Robbie Seay this morning at Ecclesia Church. This is the 121p combo and my new 33" scale Overwater Jazz bass.
I'll post pics of the other rig soon..... All my other amplification has either been sold or is up for sale at the moment, thanks to Markbass for making the stuff that so many bass players need.
