How gigable is the MINIMARK 802 N 300?

[handman]

I have the old mini mark 802, played quite a few gig with it, soul, funk and old school house , whilst we are not the loudest band the performance has always been good, I've never wanted for volume or extension, like most things in life I suppose it depends, but I like the convenience and provided your not looking for ear bleeding levels then I think the n300 , would fit the bill.

Thanks dude. I'm coming to the conclusion that it would be enough for me. There seem to be enough people using both the older and new versions with good results.

 

There is a similar discussion on TalkBass right now, and one guy is gigging the N300 and reckons it is more powerful than the older version because of the more conventional eq controls, as much as the extra 50 watts. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/markbass-combo-2x8-oder-2x10.1683078/#post-29462118

Un-mic'd drums.

 

Who's playing them is the question. Bernard Purdy or Dave Lombardo?

I would really try to find a older used  CMD121p Combo, I went down this route for a long time before I moved to an ampless setup , 

The cmd121p  is perfectly loud enough for a  50-100 person gig... at perfectly giggable stage level volume with just the combo part ... but you can send a XLR line out to the PA for even more volume ...  Or add any cheap ... or matching  cab later down the line to use the full 500 watts of the Little mark head unit.

I'm not sure what they are going for used these days £350 - 400  ?  But would foot the bill
