Markbass Minimark 802 N 300 Combo
Additional Photos:
Not only can you use the head separately, you can use the combo's 2x8" cabinet standalone matched with a different head, or as an extension of another combo, or even together with another 8 ohm cabinet. The two 8" custom woofers and an onboard piezo tweeter give an incredible warm and focused sound - making this combo a brilliant choice for electric bass and also ideal for double bass as well as acoustic bass through its faithful reproduction of acoustic instruments!
Removable head amp
The practical design of the Minimark 802 N300 allows musicians to easily remove the ultracompact NANO MARK II amp head and use it separately. This is one of the most requested features from combo users. Of course it is also possible to use also the 2x8" cabinet standalone, matched with another amp, as extension of a combo, or with another 8 ohm cabinet.
Complete and effective controls
The separate Gain and Master controls allow you to optimize the input level setting and the master volume as needed, and thanks to the simple and effective 4-band EQ controls you can get a clear, loud, defined EQ resulting in an authentic reproduction of your bass guitar's sound. Scooped-mid EQ ideal for slap and pick bass tones are available using the included input jack insert or an optional single footswitch connected to the dedicated FSW input, to have access to the two EQ tones while playing.
Power-to-weight ratio / ultra-portable amp
The Minimark 802 N300 weighing only 28 lbs / 12.7 kg and has an unbelievable power-to-weight ratio and the rich and warm tones unique to Markbass. It cranks out 150W of power on its own (300W when used with an extension cab) and its full range - with plenty of bottom end - is unrivalled.
Wide frequency response
Despite its small size, the two 8" speakers efficiently reproduces a wide range of frequencies, even with five and six strings basses.
Also ideal for double bass and acoustic bass
The sound of acoustic instruments like double bass and acoustic bass is faithfully reproduced by the 2x8 woofers.
Bi-band limiter
The new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.
MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop a proprietary power amp technology in house. When compared against the competition, all Markbass amps feel unique, with a more defined sound and more power. The MPTpower amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
