Thanks for all of your replies. I ordered the Markbass and Ill inform you how gppd it is as slon as it arrives:-)

Hello. So I'm an intermediate bass player and I would like to buy amp. So far, I've played on gigs with borrowed AMP's (Hartke, Ibanez, etc) and didn't really need to buy myself my own amp and played connected to mix on rehearsals. But now I'm beginning to have my own gigs with band with nobody to borrow the amp from, so I made a decision to buy myself my own amp. I have a Marcus Miller JB-active and I play almost everything; some rock, punk, funk, blues, sometimes soul, sometimes pop. The two AMP's that I think would be worth are Markbass CMD 102p and Fender Rumble 500 v3. I think that Fender could be better for me, because it's cheaper and you can use bright, vintage and overdrive straight on it, but I'm not sure, if it's usable for styles like soul, funk etc. However, my bassfriend has a Markbass and he says it's really good for these styles. But I don't know if it can play the heavier styles. Also the price is higher. To sum up: Which one is louder? Which one has better quality sound? Which one is more versatile? Please also think about the price difference. Thanks for every single answer :-)
