About the amplifiers

The new generation of Markbass amplifiers is truly innovative, and represents a new stage in the evolution of bass amplification. Their custom-designed digital power supply circuitry allows for impeccable bass frequency reproduction, and the incredible-sounding digital power amps (used in the SD800 head) take advantage of cutting-edge technology. All of the new heads give you a wide variety of sounds and unsurpassed tone in an extremely lightweight package. These days many manufacturers are claiming to make light amps... but Markbass stands in a league of its own. The Little Mark II 500W head weighs under 2.2kg!

  • All amps use top-quality dual-sided fibreglass PC boards with lined perforations for high-quality solder connections;

  • All large surface-mount components are silicon-sealed to isolate vibrations;

  • Computer-grade pre-assembled ribbon connector cable harnesses and ribbons for noise-free operation;

  • Integrated threaded posts for easy assembly/disassembly and added durability;

  • Rigid 2 mm thick aluminium chassis for a long-lasting finish;

  • All new Markbass amplifiers feature our special filters: the VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) and the VPF (Variable Preshape Filter) Defining qualities of Markbass heads: They're powerful, they produce huge tone, they're incredibly dynamic... and they're super light!

 

 

Little Mark II

Little Mark II

This little brother to the M-Pulse 360 delivers all the same great tone at a size and weight that fits the demands of any bass player who's traveling light and still needs huge sound.

Using Simul-State, Boogie's hybrid tube-driven MOS FET circuitry, this 300 watt power section has all the nuance, definition and punch of the larger M-Pulse formats. And with almost the same headroom as its larger brother, the Walkabout has plenty of power to fill small clubs or coffee-house type venues. It's also fitted with a toneful Balanced Out that's great for grab-n-go studio sessions or for feeding the house board with your live stage sound.

Using the same soulful tube pre-amp as the 360/600, the Walkabout's tried-and- true rotary tone controls feature active Treble and Bass plus a sweet, passive Mid. The scaled-down three-band version of the Parametric Equalizer handles all the crucial frequencies with simple authority -it's everything you need and nothing more.

Weighing in at a mere 6 kilograms, with optionally available rack ears, this 300 watt cigar-box delivers tone that's taking the small-size world by storm. That's because the new Walkabout is the perfect combination of a supremely tuned all-tube pre-amp and a dynamic, hybrid power section at a price that won't weight you down.

About the cabinets

Markbass introduced neodymium technology many years ago, and they were the first company to apply it to speaker enclosures for bass. Today we have two Standard series: HR (Rear Reflex) and HF (Front Reflex). All cabinets are made with high-grade multi-ply poplar and are glued, screwed and sealed internally with special compounds to ensure that all you hear is the sound of your bass. The Standard cabinets use only custom woofers that have been designed through collaboration between Markbass and B&C Speakers. They truly believe these are the best speakers in the world! The Standard series is notable for its incredible power-to-weight ratio and unparalleled performance. In all our new cabinets we use a custom 1” HF compression driver with horn. All of the combos and heads use ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT technologies. You will not find lighter bass amplification anywhere!
