Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The MB GV5 Gloxy CR RW Passive brings the same passive approach to a right-handed five-string layout with an added low B string. It combines an alder body, hard maple Comfort C neck, rosewood fingerboard, 34-inch scale, and 19 mm string spacing. Individual pickup volumes and a master tone allow direct blending and high-end reduction. Its sound is described as punchy, fat, and round, with natural attack and touch-sensitive dynamics, and a Markbass universal gig bag is included.
