Markbass has entered the entry level market segment for the first time, without sacrificing quality. We understand how important it is for students and beginners to have good sound for their daily  practice, helping to better express themselves while developing their talent and passion for Music!

The CMB101 Black Line is an amazing entry level 40W combo, the perfect choice for those who want to start with the right sound. It's  compact, light, portable and the sound it delivers is superior to any other practice amp at this price thanks to Markbass tone and quality.
It features a headphone output, and an aux input for connecting your favourite media players to mix with your bass sound, letting you practice anywhere, anytime.

START WITH A GREAT SOUND TO DEVELOP YOUR TALENT
Buying the right amp when starting out in Music is one of the most important decisions both students and novices can make. Key to success is developing technique, along with refining sound preferences – including a responsive dynamic to their playing during practice. The CMB101 Black Line combo satisfies all these requirements, providing our famous Markbass tone and response.

INEXPENSIVE, NOT CHEAP
This is the first time Markbass has focused on the lower end of the market. When we began, our main goal was to ensure you can buy something you enjoy the sound of. Almost all of our competitors build cheap equipment without considering that young and talented players who are going to use it every day may become frustrated and lose their passion due to a poor sound.

At Markbass we have always had a deep respect for all artists, beginners to professionals, and above all for young talent that strive to become the next generation of great artists. They need, and deserve a superb amp with superior sound – and our combo is the best choice!

4-BAND EQ, SCOOPED and BOOST SWITCHES
The simple and effective controls section includes 4-band EQ with 2 mid controls, a SCOOPED switch for enhancing treble and BOOST switch to add nice saturation to your sound.

HEADPHONE OUT / AUX IN / PREAMP OUT
The amp section includes a headphone output and an aux input for media players, letting you practice anywhere and anytime you like, always with a professional sound. The unbalanced preamp out allows to connect it to a mixer/PA in your rehearsal room or at gig.

SIZE/WEIGHT/PORTABILITY
When choosing your practice amp, it's important to consider features such as size and portability. The CMB101 Black Line combo is not only compact with a small footprint letting you find a place for it anywhere, but it's also conveniently light weighing
in at only 21.38lbs (9.7Kg).
