I tried the 121P combo at Guitar Center last week. I wanted to like it (small, light, portable, good price) but I felt that the amp was too powerful for the single 12 in a little cabinet. Even with a 4 string bass, flat EQ/filters and the master at 1 I heard the speaker straining a bit when I dug into the E string.

I really like the sound/features of the LMII head but I wasn't convinced that the speaker on the 121P could handle gig volumes with a low B. Anyone else tried this little beast?

The Marky 210 combo is very lightweight and VERY loud. Great combo.

You could also buy a Little Mark II (Head) separate and buy the 112HR cab? That way it wouldn't be a combo, but you'd be starting a killer rig. Just add another 12 and you've got an extremely versatile gig rig.

i had the chance to play the 15" markbass combo recently. loud, nice growly low end, lacking high mid punch but may be a good choice for sould, r&b etc.

good b string handling.

BUT: can't see why this unit costs twice as much as other good 15" combos.

I saw the 2x10 combo at GC for around $1100. The 4x10 cab was $1000, the 2x10 cab was $650, the 6x10 was $1450. The TA501 was $1100, and the SD800 was $1350.00. I wasn't a big fan of the cabs. The tone was good but those speakers didn't seem to like a lot of volume. The heads were outstanding though. The SD800 was monsterous through a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10.

Hello! I can recommended you the CMD-103H, this is what I have at home.
Plenty of headromm and response with an astonish clarity.
Maybe is not in USA for the moment, I live in Spain and it was a nightmare find a store who can order from the factory.
I'm think in add a 15 cab to work with.
