STAY GOLD!
Our amazing team put all
their experience and market
knowledge on this model design to concentrate into
a single instrument all the most sought after features by a high
percentage of bassists. It’s a real example
of balance, simplicity and functionality,
added to a nice design reminding
something vintage but still leaving
total expression to any bass player.
WOODS
BODY: for this “P” style
body we had to chose
selected alder, one of the most used wood
for vintage style basses thanks to its balanced tone, fast
attack, controlled sustain and light weight. Its particular grain
enhances the amazing GOLD finish.
NECK: hard
maple, Vintage Yellow Glossy
finish with flat cut.
The C profile and reduced
nut width in a pure vintage
style make playing really
comfortable and its two ways truss rod on the
headstock let ultra precise adjustments even with really low
action settings.
FINGERBOARD: Pau
Ferro, 34" scale, 20
frets with vintage cream
binding, bone
nut and MOP block
inlays.
HARDWARE
Markbass Custom gold
machine heads, F
Style | 20:1 ratio,
ultra light, precise and reliable.
Markbass Die cast gold bridge, lightweight,
simple and functional in a perfect vintage style.
PICKUPS
Single coil J style passive
pickups custom
designed on Markbass specs,
perfectly matching Markbass
electronic, 70’ style layout.
Getting “J” style pickup and neck on
a “P” style body is a dream for many
players… a Golden dream became true!!!
ELECTRONIC
We couldn’t choose a better electronic than
the Markbass for this instrument.
VOLUME/ VOLUME/TONE controls a definitely the best to manage the
J/J pick up configuration and the TONE control (working also in
the passive mode) lets the player move from Jaco or Motown style
tones to more modern and open sounds. BASS/MIDDLE/HIGH controls
on the active EQ section add a modern character to this vintage
flavoured instrument, delivering
a balanced and defined
tone even using extreme settings.
The MB INSTRUMENT PRE featured on our
basses is available also separately to be installed on your
instrument.
