Classic bass design with high playing comfort

In the design of the Gloxy Val five string bass, Markbass places special emphasis on comfortable playability and a clean, defined low B string response. The traditionally shaped basswood body offers excellent balance both on a strap and when seated, while generous contouring on the front and back ensures a comfortable fit against the body. The bolt on maple neck features a narrow C-profile with a nut width of just 36 mm, allowing for fast, effortless playing even during long gigs or extended studio sessions.

Flexible sound with pickups and electronics from Markbass

The flexible electronics of the Markbass Gloxy Val deliver a wide range of bass tones, providing a solid foundation for nearly any genre. Two Markbass J style single coil pickups produce classic sounds ranging from deep and transparent lows to articulate, punchy attack, reproducing the low B string with clarity and authority. The active Markbass 3- band equalizer allows precise tone shaping to suit any situation. If desired, the bass can also be operated in passive mode, with a dedicated treble control for additional tonal adjustment.

Traditional Hardware

To round things off, Markbass equips the GV5 Gloxy Val Black CR MP E Bass with robust and reliable hardware. A classic five saddle bridge ensures accurate intonation and precise string height adjustment. The distinctive lacquered Mark Double Shape headstock is fitted with vintage style tuners that provide stable, accurate tuning and long term reliability.
