The GV 4 Gloxy series from Markbass is built with great value in mind without compromising on quality or identity. By designing with creativity in mind, it has resulted in a great harmony and unique electric bass for aspiring players.
The GV Series is the range of bass instruments that demonstrate Markbass' ability to produce a high-quality instrument at an incredible price. This achievement is a result of tireless efforts to compare quality with price of parts and materials to get the best components possible for players.
The bass neck has the same characteristics as Markbass' JP series of instruments, boasting inherent playability, and comfort. The balance of the strings are accurate and defined, without a 'boomy' resonant frequency even across the fifth string's range. Each instrument is inspected for quality against strict requirements at their headquarters in Italy.
The Gloxy's 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, which is a unique feature of the exceptional circuitry inside. Simple and ergonomic controls allow you to richly boost or cut your EQ without clipping or distorting the signal, even at the maximum settings.
In addition to the great value, all instruments in this series come with a Universal Bass Bag to keep your new purchase safe. Like all Markbass products, this case is made to precise quality standards, without compromise.
