Markbass MB GV Gloxy Cream 5-String

The Markbass Gloxy Cream 5-String: five strings in a timeless color

The Markbass MB GV Gloxy in Cream and five strings combines an elegant appearance with serious playability. The cream white finish gives it a classic character that suits any stage, while the fifth string opens up a whole new register for you. The maple neck with Comfort C-profile immediately feels familiar, even if you are taking the step to five strings for the first time.

The low B-string of the Gloxy sounds tight and controlled, without the vagueness you sometimes encounter with cheaper five-string basses. The JJ single-coil pickups deliver a clear, snappy tone in the bridge position that works excellently for funk and groove, while the neck position gives a warmer, fuller sound. The active Markbass 3-band EQ gives you full control, and the passive mode is always available as a backup.

The body is made of poplar, the maple neck has a Comfort C-profile with a laurel fretboard and block inlays over 20 frets on a 34" scale length. F-style tuning machines keep all five strings stably tuned. Control via 2 volume and 1 tone knob. Includes Markbass gig bag. The Gloxy Cream 5-String is style and versatility in one instrument.
