Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The GV5 Gloxy Val MP is a right-handed five-string bass with a 34-inch scale, maple neck and fingerboard, and basswood body in 3-Color Sunburst. Its Markbass JJ-style MB Instrument PRE works in active or passive mode, giving you onboard EQ boost and cut while keeping the transition between modes nearly level. Markbass describes the neck as comfortable and playable, with defined string response across the instrument’s range. A gig bag comes with it.
