Mark Bass Big Bang Bass Amplifier for Hire

Just over a decade ago, Marco De Virgiliis started pioneering small, lightweight amps; the Markbass Little Mark heads started a new era in bass amplification, inspiring many other companies to follow their lead.

It is now amazing that such a warm, rich and “explosive” sound comes from an amp smaller than our groundbreaking Little Mark heads! Despite its small size—the Big Bang is packed with extra features that players enjoy: aux in, headphone output with level control, plus mute and VLE and VPF filters with foot switch control. Other features, already appreciated by Little Mark users, include a simple and effective 4-band EQ, effects loop, and level control and pre/post EQ switch for the XLR DI output.
