Delamitri79 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hey folks I'm thinking of buying the markbass cmd 102p for gigging with a 5 piece wedding band and a 3 piece pub band. I play a 5 string g&l l2500 tribute and I'll have FOH support on both gigs. Will the combo sound nice and full for a stage monitor and will it handle the 5 string low end stuff pretty well? Many thanks Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Should sound good in both circumstances…. I would just add, I had a 121P combo with a rock/pop covers band many years ago, and found it lacking a bit, both in terms of headroom and tone. Beautifully made, light, a nice thing, but just not my sound, even with a NY121 extension cab it struggled to punch through. I do know though, that plenty of others have been really happy with theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Really happy with mine, no problems dialling in a great sound. Plenty of punch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I gigged an old Italian built CMD102 for quite a while - really good amp, no problems at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I pranked the mrs with mine the other day by turning it up to around 80% volume with my 5 string. Apparently everything was shaking and she was in a mood for hours, so yes it’s loud enough 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 An HPF will go a long way to ensuring 5 string happiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Can't go wrong with a CMD102p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I had one for about 5-6 years. Bought it about 15 years ago IIRC. Great combo & sounds best put on its side. I never played a 5 string through it, but my rig was synth/dubstep focused & went lower than the low B on a 5er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
