Markbass Minimark 802 150W 2x8 combo

[George Kormanos]

Anyone play an 802? Thinking about buying one for size & weight, but can’t hear it unless I buy it since GC doesn’t stock this $950 amp. Opinions and alternative suggestions most welcome.
I don’t gig, so it’s for home studio and small events. I currently play thru a GK MB 500 into a TC Electronic RS 210. I like the sound with a Fender Precision.

Buy it. I have the original Minimark and find it's been great for a whole lots of moderate and low volume gigs, and they are excellent as recording amps, too.

I looked at your link and was interested enough to look at what GC wants for it, but they only list the now discontinued 802. Couldn’t find the N300 for sale anywhere. I do like the more EQ options and watts. I may wait for its availability. Thanks for the heads up.

Sound like the sound quality is good. I will have to buy it to hear it for myself. Thanks for your experienced review.

I'm looking at Markbass for a new lightweight "Living Room" amp.

The 802 looks very versatile, anyone got one yet?

Markbass Micromark 801 60W 1x8 Bass Combo Amp GC has the 801 on sale right now for $280. Says you can add an addition cab. Not sure if 60 watts is enough for you but throwing it out there.

It would be more than enough actually, but seems limited with only Volume and VPF.
I also have no idea what VPF is.
