Wenn manche behaupten, der Amp sei speziell für Anfänger geeignet, muss ich dem sofort widersprechen.
Ich spiele nunmehr etliche Jahre Bass und habe in dieser Größenordnung (Leistung, Qualität und Gewicht) nichts vergleichbares gefunden.
Viele günstigere Angebote haben einfach nicht die Qualität wie dieser Markbass-Combo, weshalb er auch nicht ganz billig ist. Dieses Teil überzeugt in jeder Hinsicht. Der Basston, egal wie man ihn einstellt, lässt keine Wünsche offen - wenn man ihn nicht gerade für Heavy Metal benutzen will. (Irgendwelche Drive-Regler kann ich eh gut entbehren).
Selbst neben sportlichen Schlagzeugern ist er immer noch gut zu hören.
Nicht zuletzt ist er auch ausgesprochen rückenschonend, was ich sehr schätze.
Fazit: Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Premetto che l'avevo ordinato per provarlo sia col basso che con la chitarra per avere una soluzione versatile.

Suonato col basso mi è piaciuto, ha delle buone possibilità tramite l'EQ e gli switch. Il suono ha corpo e i bassi sono definiti. Mi ha deluso un pò la potenza (non sufficiente per suonare con la batteria o quando è richiesto più volume) e il fatto che a volumi alti il cono fatica e non regge bene su certe note..
Con la chitarra elettrica invece.. delusione.. meno adatto a quest'utilizzo rispetto ad altri ampli, ma chiaramente non è creato per questo scopo, quindi è solo un informazione aggiuntiva per chi pensasse di fare la mia stessa scelta.

Nel complesso un buon ampli per studiare a casa e suonare in un contesto acustico e dove non è richiesto volume.

Per chi è indeciso in questa fascia lascerei perdere altri marchi blasonati:
in confronto al Fender Rumble suona decisamente meglio, per me risulta di una qualità superiore sia come suono che come costruzione.

Der kleine Bass-Combo ist ein leichter Bassamp mit großem Sound. Die effektive Klangregelung macht jeden Sound möglicht. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen kleinen Amps klingt er auch nach Bass und ist deshalb auch nicht nur zum Üben zu gebrauchen, sondern auch für kleine Gigs mit Schlagzeug. Der Preis ist aber auch höher als andere vergleichbare Amps und je nach Vorliebe könnte man einen Kompressor vermissen.
