Start with great sound. The CMB151 Black Line gives students and developing players pro-grade Markbass tone, feel and features in an affordable, reliable combo built to inspire practice and performance.
Choosing the right amp at the start of your musical journey matters. The CMB151 Black Line was developed to help students and novice players build technique and refine tone without compromise. It delivers the signature Markbass response: clear, dynamic, and responsive to your touch. The 1 × 15" speaker provides a warm, full low end that helps beginners hear fundamentals in their playing, while 150W of clean power keeps the sound present in rehearsals and small venues.
Controls are simple and effective, so you can focus on playing. The 4-band EQ with two mids lets you dial exact tones quickly. Use the SCOOPED switch to open up treble for modern clarity, or engage BOOST to add harmonic warmth and slight saturation for a more aggressive feel. Practical features like the aux input and headphone output make quiet practice and play-along sessions effortless, while the balanced XLR out and FX loop provide the connections you need for gigging and effects integration.
Built to Markbass standards, the CMB151 Black Line prioritises musicality and reliability over cut-rate compromises. It's an inexpensive amp that's not cheap - designed to keep new players engaged and motivated as they develop.
Beginners, students and developing players who want a reliable, musical combo that grows with them.
