แอมป์เบส Markbass MARCUS MILLER CMD 101 MICRO 60

Background of the Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 101 Micro 60

The Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 101 Micro 60 is a signature bass combo amplifier developed through a close collaboration between Markbass and legendary bassist Marcus Miller.
Its purpose was to capture Marcus Miller’s iconic tone—clear, punchy, dynamic, and articulate—in a compact, portable combo amp.

The Idea Behind the Amp

Marcus Miller is known worldwide for his work in jazz, funk, fusion, R&B, and studio recording, with a signature sound that combines:

• Tight, focused low end

• Strong mid presence

• Bright, snappy highs ideal for slap and fingerstyle

Markbass and Marcus Miller wanted an amp that could:

• Deliver professional-grade tone

• Be small and lightweight

• Work equally well for practice, studio, rehearsals, and small gigs

The result was the CMD 101 Micro 60.

Design Philosophy

Unlike entry-level practice amps, this model was designed as a serious musical tool, even though it remains compact.

Key design goals included:

• Faithful reproduction of Marcus Miller’s tonal character

• Fast transient response for slap and funk techniques

• Simplicity and reliability for everyday use

• Easy portability without sacrificing sound quality

Position in the Markbass Lineup

The CMD 101 Micro 60 sits between practice amps and full gigging combos.
It’s more refined and expressive than beginner models, but more portable than large stage rigs.

It is often used as:

• A personal monitoring amp

• A studio combo for recording and rehearsals

• A small-venue performance amp

• A premium home practice solution for serious players

Why It’s Special

This model isn’t just branded with Marcus Miller’s name—it reflects his real-world needs as a touring and recording bassist:

• Clean headroom

• Accurate note definition

• Musical EQ voicing

• A sound that cuts through a mix without being harsh

In Simple Terms

The Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 101 Micro 60 was created to give bassists access to a legendary signature tone in a small, powerful, and professional combo amp—bridging the gap between home practice and real-world performance.
