Well I use a markbass 800 head and play out of a 410 gk cab love it together . Also love the wheels on the gk cab marks needs wheels.
I recently picked up a Fender Rumble 500 based off of numerous reviews. I'm a guitarist that is about to start playing bass in my church group and the Rumble 500 seemed to meet all my requirements. Nothing to knock about on either the Markbass or the GK. Both are fine amps but a little pricier vs. the Rumble 500. Cheers!
7:01 is so Sean Malone Gordian Knot. ❤❤❤
Mark is moooor musician, more acoustic, more instrumental, more Italian.
Musicians will take only Mark.
Punk, Heavy, Destroy, …. GK
Rocky GK is hearder, Jazzy balads Mark is sweet ????
I use a MarkBass because of how it sounds in the mix. What sounds good to us when practicing/jamming solo is very different when playing with a band. That “tightness” from the MB mentioned in the video helps the bass come through in the mix. Paired with an MB external cab such as the NYC 121, it can fill an outdoor stage. I have one of the first ones that came out, when they were still made in Italy, and have not had any reliability issues. I also used the GK 115 briefly (from a friend) and liked the sound. It was bulkier of course. I love the portability of the MB.
What about the HARTKE?❤,CAN IT COMPARE
Give Cici a bit Room to talk too, please!
I've been playing over 50 years I've used them all. I always come back to Hartke.
what wah is that?
Lose the pedals and crap so we can here the Amps
AMPEG. Yamaha straightened them out!
is the audio blend cab and di or one or the other?
GK for me. Their are built for life. The most silent amp I had. ❤️✌️
Hey,..I ????get that one wants to demo their style of playing & chops but!!!,..????In the REAL World,..demos of this nature require that the Bass performs its role in the music and that is the Bass line / Groove!!! THAT WAN’T demoed here‼️????When on doing Amps demos,..play bass lines of various Genres ok!!????..’cause THAT’S just how they’ll be really used!!!…most of the time anyway! ????Geez!…just illustrating a fact huh!????
Markbass sounds so much better to me all around.
LOL. Put a Mark Bass up there with a 15 inch and hear what happens.
That’s the least sounding Warwick I’ve heard. I think I will go with the ampeg
I'm not a combo fan… I'm not a MB fan…but forced to buy a combo i would choose a MBass or GrBass

I think markbass leans more on a vintage tone and GK is more modern. I think you can't go wrong with either just a matter of sound preferences!!
I want that bass Lee is playing but I can't figure out what the hell it is! I don't see any Sire basses on the Anderton site or on the Sire website that match it.
It's hard to compare since they are all EQED in a studio. If you want to hear the true sound, go to a guitar center and play them. The Fender and Markbass sound the best for a similar price point IMHO.
Lead bass….and …lead bass. Where are the bass bass sounds. Jamieson-ish, McCartney-ish, band at a wedding dance-ish etc? MM
MB has broken my heart too many times. They have broken down and gigs too often. They sound great but are expensive to buy and expensive to fix if you can find someone that can fix it.
Lee is the reason why I started playing the bass.
I never owned a GK amp that didn't go bad within two years (and I had three). My last Markbass lasted 8 years before I sold it an had zero issues. It's still going for its second owner 6 years later. The GK's sounded processed. The Markbass had a smooth, natural sound.
I'm currently looking for a 250-500w combo. Personally I preferred the MB over the GK on this. I'm more like Lee in my tone and playing and have run through a MB 800w into a 4×10 that sounded awesome. I want to spend an afternoon with my own bass – I have a Fender Jazz with Fender 58 tapes, so it has a distinctive sound, and have a run at an Ashdown, MB, Orange and even a Marshall, pretty much whatever I can find, and do a side-by-side comparison. These vids are great but I want to hear them in-person.
Lee is just a yes man with no opinion.
I have a Fender Rumble 200 with a 15" speaker. Great amp. Ideal for rehearsal, lightweight, easily transported. I put a Yamaha 5 string through it and it easily handles the low B. For larger gigs I couple it with an Ashdown 2×10 cabinet. Heaps of volume and an awesome sound. Not a fan of Markbass. Greetings from Brisbane, Australia.
Dear Lowenders, which one would currently prefer:
– Ampeg RB-112
– Fender Rumble 100
– Markbass CMB 121 Blackline Combo? Thx
Great video as always . Is there any chance you could do a video where you upgrade a "basic" rig please and show the sound difference of a better guitar vs amp vs pedals on the sound ? Where would you spend your money first ?
GK for life.
I play a little mark IV combo (I think it’s the mini cmd p IV) in a cover band… perfect. Once dialed in, it’s a very flexible sound using just the controls on the bass. Sounds great with a pick too. Palm mute. Slap. I can stay out of the way or push to the front.
When we do restaurant gigs this by itself is more than enough. When we do bigger festivals or corporate stuff I just go direct out.
It truly is an amazing instrument. After playing a couple years the speaker has broken in nicely without losing the highs. I also find that the “old school” is quite nice and more flexible than I first realized. It rolls off the highs in a musical way.
Seeing a new video featuring you two made my day. Your styles compliment one another. You make a good team. Love your playing. Enjoyed your banter quite a bit. You were both on point. What a nice video.
I know they've done it individually but Id love to see a video where Lee interviews CC and CC interviews Lee. It'd be great to see a comparison of their introduction to bass, how they learned, what were their influences, what were their first basses (favourite basses), etc, etc. PS: whoever does Lee's hair needs a shout out – always on point
First of all, you guys play very well together – your different tones blend well to form a cool duet that is musical and inspiring.
Secondly, between the two amps it seems like the GK is meant to serve bassists who want to stand out, utilizing the clarity and toughness as a foundation for effects. The Markbass has a more conventional sound that might sit better in a mix "out of the box", and is aimed at players who want an "iconic" sound.
If I can ask for any future videos, I think it would be cool to give Ampeg some more attention. Maybe compare the new Venture series with the Rocket combos to see how "small amp heads and cabs" compare to "lightweight versatile combos" – this could be a series that adds more brands in the future!
Either way, I always enjoy seeing when Andertons uploads another bass video and you guys are the ones testing out the gear. If I'm ever in the UK and able to visit, I'll take your notes to try out some stuff!
God bless and prayers,
John 3:16
from someone who has played mesa, orange, ampeg, GK, fender, genzler, hartke, and more…all i can say is….GK OR DIE!
Thanks Lee & Cici, again a really cool review ! Looking forward to more ! I'm always interested to see how certain bass guitar types / makes, pair up with certain amps in order to obtain various signature sounds, ie: Jaco, Marcus, Flea & more – that is, aside from the ones they actually do use…
Very good video
GK is the winner
