Markbass MB GV Gloxy Surf Green 5-String

The Markbass Gloxy Surf Green 5-String: five strings in a color that demands attention

The Markbass MB GV Gloxy in Surf Green and five strings is for the bassist who wants more: more range, more character, and more stage presence. Its vintage-inspired color makes it instantly recognizable, but it's the playability that will stay with you. The neck feels instantly familiar, even if you're making the jump to five strings for the first time.

The low B-string of the Gloxy sounds tight and defined, without the muddiness sometimes found in 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 offers 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 comfortable C-profile with a laurel fingerboard and block inlays over 20 frets on a 34" scale length. F-style tuners keep all five strings stably tuned. Control via 2 volume and 1 tone knob. Includes Markbass gig bag. The Gloxy Surf Green 5-String combines style, comfort, and versatility in one instrument.
