Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Markbass’s black MB Gloxy Kimandu 5 is a five-string bass developed with Richard Bona. Its Ninja-shaped body has a smooth back intended to support both traditional and classical playing positions. A hard maple neck, selected maple fingerboard, 34-inch scale, 18 mm string spacing, and 24 frets establish the playing layout. Markbass Soapbar pickups feed the 9V MB Instrument Pre, whose active/passive switching and tonal shaping controls give you different routing options. An MB BASS BAG UNIVERSAL gig bag is included for transport protection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio or recording setups that benefit from the preamp’s tonal-shaping controls and active/passive switching.
