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 we have joined the ranks of instrument manufacturers, enjoying worldwide success of our basses,
including the highly appreciated Gloxy series – which uses our Glocalization philosophy to offer unique
instruments with unbeatable value for money. And therefore of course it was inevitable that we 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, and the position of the strap-end
make 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 our 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 our range of bass guitars that demonstrate our ability to produce a high quality instrument
at an incredible price. This achievement is a direct result of our tireless work to compare the quality and price
of parts and materials from a wide range of suppliers. We chose only the best components for our Gloxy series,
maintaining our 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 our high end instruments.
