Phil Jones The Cub vs Markbass Micromark (Or 801?)

I'm after an amp I can use at home and in rehearsal.

I already have a Markbass CMD121p which I'm very happy with.

Both amps are similarly priced, and I can't try either one out. The PJ is the cheapest and it comes with a carry bag (Handy for me biking to rehearsal).

Cheers!

I've owned both. High quality sound from each with more EQ possibilities on the Cub. I found the lack of volume a problem at band rehearsals which is why I sold both. Depends on how loud you practice. I was in a large band (drummer, brass section, guitar, several vocalists) and they coulodn't keep up. if you are in quiet acoustic or jazz trio either should be fine, with a leaning towards the greater tonal possibilities of the Cub

I don't see any amp being up to the job in a band if the requirement is to carry it on you back on a bike!

I'd get an amp that works on a gig, then turn it down a little when rehearsing and turn it down a lot (or even use headphones) when practising.

So, if I use my CMD121p for rehearsal, practice and gigging, please tell me how I get it back and forth on my motorbike? :)

It doesn't have to be transportable tbh. The CMD stays at our rehearsal spot then goes in the van for a gig. Just small enough to go into my bedroom :) (Though the carry bag is a nice touch.)

We rehearse quietly. We're a pop rock band, normally don't even use microphones.
