The Markbass CMB 121 Black Line combo is the first entry-level amp from Italy’s “Ferrari” of bass-amp innovation. The CMB 121 strives to offer exquisite sound to students and beginners with 150 watts, a single 12″ speaker, 4-band EQ, Scooped and Boost switches, an Aux input, headphone output, balanced XLR output and an effects send/return for pedals, pedalboards and multi-effects devices.
“For the size, this amp has a really nice tone,” says Fütterer, a Los Angeles composer/producer who makes music as All Made Up and also tours with Weyes Blood and Mayer Hawthrone. “A cool feature is the Scooped switch, which can come in handy when you need an extra bit of brightness to cut through a mix—especially if you’re playing a warm bass or using flatwound strings. Likewise, the Boost switch is helpful when you want to better showcase a solo.”
At 35lbs., the Markbass CMB 121 is reasonably easy to transport to bass lessons, jam sessions and band practices. The CMB 121 also includes Gain and Master Volume controls for playing hard-hitting, gritty bass lines at low volumes that won’t get your home practice given a time out.

What are your thoughts on the Markbass CMB 101 and 121 Black Line combos? Let us know in the comments!????????
Video production issue? She had the tone knob on the guitar turned way down the whole time and after EQ sounded exactly the same with no high end. I recently purchased this amp so I'm familiar with the settings and sound.
Classic bass tones
I dont know why it looks so similar to cort cmb150…the controls, inputs, and outputs
I was looking for an amp that is very good for practice, at least useable for small club gigs, won't dominate the living room, and isn't crazy expensive. It looks like this one checked all the boxes! so I picked up one of these the other day at the Guitar Center, currently on sale. Great little amp! not too big, not too heavy, not too expensive, and makes a bass sound like a bass. The only ding- the fabric speaker cover doesn't protect the speaker well, and it makes a floppy noise. Ask me how I know – I took the cover off and the noise went away! I would have paid $20 more for a metal grille. (Markbass are you listening?)
A semi-hollow bass with tapewounds and a foam mute is a terrible choice to demo an amp.
Nice playing- all made up.
Great sounding bass amp and solid for the price. I A/B'd it next to several others at GC. It held it's own even next to a $1,000 bass amp. The 10" version, not so much. Once you get into a 12" with over 100 watts, now you are talking. I preferred the looks of the Ampeg but the tone on the MB was clearly superior. Rumble was a toy. Hands down- this.
LOL. Different sound- to most mortals not so much. https://youtu.be/Ja2fgquYTCg?si=WMjBNCjVo_pX1M5g&t=6
I've played through this amp and think that it is quite nice. However, I think that your choice of bass to use for the review is the wrong choice because almost no one will actually use a bass like that when they evaluate the amp, especially in a big box store like Guitar Center.
Wrong bass guitar using for demonstrate …
I can't tell the difference. Go with the fender rumble 100. My first bass amp was a low watt bass amp. I could not hear it over the drums. I now have a hartke 400 watt with a 15" and a 2×10, but for practice I use a fender rumble 1×12 100 watt
THANK U , COOL ????
The voice volume was great but I could barely hear the bass.
I hear only a continuous hum – as if I stuck my ear into the bass reflex port. The E and A strings sound the same.
Adorable girl though, and nice playing.
Thanks for this video. Which of the following would you prefer? Ampeg RB-112, Fender Rumble 100 or Markbass CMB 121 Blackline Combo
Ordered mine today!
Can it keep up with a drummer ?
Love the tone!
