Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The MB Gloxy Black Panther 5 is a right-handed five-string bass built around the MB Panther body shape, a hard maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its extended top horn, strap-pin placement, and body contouring are intended to distribute weight when seated or standing, while the deep lower cutaway serves the full 24-fret range. Twin Markbass soapbar pickups feed the 9V MB Instrument Pre active/passive circuit. Two volume controls, push/pull tone, and three-band EQ provide hands-on adjustment, and an MB gig bag is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live bass parts that move between seated rehearsal and standing performance.
- Studio tracking where active or passive operation and onboard EQ are useful.
