Markbass - MB Gloxy Panther 5-String Electric Bass with Gigbag - Black

Markbass top-artist Alain Caron, a highly respected player in the music community, is known for his high standards. Likewise, Markbass is one of the most well-known bass amp manufacturers on the planet. In just a few short years Mark Bass has joined the ranks of instrument manufacturers, enjoying worldwide success of Mark Bass basses, including the highly appreciated Gloxy series which uses their Glocalization philosophy to offer unique instruments with unbeatable value for money. And therefore of course it was inevitable that Mark Bass would collaborate with Alain in the design of this fantastic bass, the MB Gloxy Black Panther 5 - a truly fascinating instrument, with great sound, balance, exceptional playability, and all carefully developed to meet Alain's high standards and secure his stamp of approval.

Balanced Design / Exceptional Playability
The MB Gloxy Black Panther is a very lightweight bass. It's elongated top horn makes the bass exceptionally balanced, either playing seated or standing up. The neck is sculpted for comfort, with ultra low action, and a lower body cutaway designed to offer maximum access up to the 24th fret.

MB Instrument Pre Inside
The MB Gloxy Black Panther 5 features two Markbass soapbar pickups, and is equipped with the same MB Instrument Pre featured on their premium range of instruments. This onboard preamp is designed from the ground up by Markbass to faithfully reproduce the sound of your instrument. Changes in the volume level when switching from Active to Passive and back again are almost imperceptible - a unique feature of the exceptional circuitry inside. Simple & ergonomic controls allow you to richly boost or cut your EQ without clipping or distorting the signal - even at the maximum settings - allowing the MB Instrument Pre to work with you in any environment.

Gloxy Series
The GLOXY series is the range of bass guitars that demonstrate Mark Bass ability to produce a high quality instrument at an incredible price. This achievement is a direct result of their tireless work to compare the quality and price of parts and materials from a wide range of suppliers. Mark Bass chooses only the best components for their Gloxy series, maintaining their focus on excellent value for money.

Quality Assurance
Each instrument is inspected for quality against our strict requirements at our headquarters in Italy. The Gloxy range of bass guitars receives the same standard of care and attention as other Mark Bass high end instruments.

MB Universal Gigbag Included
