Independent shopping perspective
A 40–100 electric-bass set from Markbass’s BALANCED series, made with nickel-plated steel as the outer winding over stainless-steel windings. That construction is presented as combining stainless steel’s bright, harmonic-rich character with nickel’s warm, deep sound. Developed with Paolo “Pi” Costa, the series focuses on a balanced relationship in tone and feel from string to string, with studio recording and live performance both part of its design brief.
