Markbass CMB 150 Blackline CMD 121

The Markbass CMB 150 Blackline: 150 watts of Markbass sound for the aspiring bassist

Markbass is known for professional bass amplifiers for the most demanding bassists in the world. With the CMB 150 Blackline, the brand brings that same quality and tonal philosophy to the entry-level market. This is not a compromise combo: it's a serious instrument for students and beginners who want to get used to good sound right from the start.

With 150 watts and a 12" speaker, the CMB 150 sounds fuller and more powerful than you'd expect given the price. The four-band EQ with two mid controls gives you true tone control, while the Scooped switch provides extra clarity in the highs and the Boost switch adds a slight saturation for more character. The balanced XLR output makes it ready for direct connection to a PA, and the send/return effects loop gives you space for your pedalboard.

The CMB 150 Blackline delivers 150W through a 12" speaker. Connections include Instrument In, Aux In, Headphone Out, Balanced Line Out (XLR) and Send/Return FX Loop. Controls include a four-band EQ, Scooped and Boost switches. Dimensions: 44 x 44 x 36 cm, weight: 16 kg. Power supply: universal 100/240V, 50/60Hz.

An amp you won't outgrow quickly, and one that motivates you to improve with every practice session.
