MarkbassMB PB Electric Bass Guitar - 3-Tone Sunburst
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Markbass MB PB is a right-handed electric bass with a single split-coil pickup, a wide maple neck, and a 34-inch scale. Volume and tone controls keep adjustment direct: set output with one knob, then refine the pickup’s brighter or more rounded response with the other. The poplar body carries a black pickguard and 20 frets, while the wider neck profile is intended for players who prefer a broader hand position. Markbass individually inspects each one in Italy, and a padded gig bag is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building foundational bass lines with the single split-coil pickup in rehearsal, recording, or live work.
- Players who prefer the broader hand position offered by a wide neck profile.
- Taking a first or second bass to practice, sessions, and storage in its padded gig bag.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking the pickup-blending options of a two-pickup bass.
