We live in a global world, with a global marketplace. The market differences between countries and continents 
have led to a big difference in production costs and, due to global market dynamics, we’ve all come to expect 
low prices and good value. That's why we have created our Gloxy series.
To achieve great value without compromise. I decided by working hard on production facilities and carefully 
selecting raw materials we can produce unique instruments valued both by professionals and upcoming young 
players to create their future as artists, to make their dreams come true without settling for mediocre 
instruments which lack identity.
This new approach allows us to make the most of all the advantages of living in Italy, with our “Italian Style”,
allowing our “Glocalisation” to win over globalisation. By “Glocalisation” I mean that we are able to make the 
most of our “Local” world, with the unique Italian lifestyle that’s envied throughout the world.
By using all this creativity, perfectly harmonised with the great relationship network that we have built 
worldwide, it allows me to develop and design unique instruments with unbeatable value for money.
Mine is not just a product, it's a carefully created project, a different way to conceive production and to do 
business, a new philosophy that lets us synergistically merge all the advantages of our changing world. And the 
result? Products with a consistent and extremely important added value: Our Markbass Value!
Superior products, at a competitive price which reflects my respect for all my dealers, my passionate 
commitment to music and, most of all, to musicians and their instruments!

GV SERIES
GV SERIES is our range of bass guitars that demonstrate our ability to produce a high quality instrument at an 
incredible price.
This achievement is a direct result of our tireless work to compare the quality and price of parts and 
materials from a wide range of
suppliers. We chose only the best components for our Gloxy series, maintaining our focus on excellent value for 
money.

PLAYABILITY / COMFORT / QUALITY ASSURANCE
The bass neck has the same characteristics as our JP series of instruments - inherent playability, and comfort. 
The balance of each
string is accurate and defined, without any 'boomy' resonant frequencies even across the fifth string's range. 
Each instrument is
inspected for quality against our strict requirements at our headquarters in Italy. Gloxy series bass guitars
receive the same standard of
care and attention as our higher end instruments.

MB INSTRUMENT PRE INSIDE
The Gloxy series is equipped with the same MB Instrument Pre that is featured on our premium range of 
instruments. This onboard
preamp is designed from the ground up by Markbass to faithfully reproduce the sound of your instrument. 
Changes in the volume level
when switching from Active to Passive and back again are almost imperceptible - a unique feature of the 
exceptional circuitry inside.
Simple & ergonomic controls allow you to richly boost or cut your EQ without clipping or distorting the 
signal - even at the maximum
settings - allowing the MB Instrument Pre to work with you in any environment.

MB BASS BAG UNIVERSAL GIG BAG INCLUDED
n addition to the great value already offered by our Gloxy basses, all instruments in this series come with 
the fantastic MB BASS BAG UNIVERSAL to keep your new purchase safe. Like all Markbass products, this case is

more, without compromises.

The new LITTLE MARCUS 58R is ready to replicate the worldwide success of our Marcus Miller signature heads, 
we introduced few years ago. It is the result of the meeting between Marcus Miller — renowned for his 
groundbreaking style and trademark sound— and Marco De Virgiliis, considered an innovator, being the first 
pioneer introducing lightweight, portable, powerful and great sounding bass heads and cabinets. As for the 
previous version, it has an amazing warm and natural sound, clear definition, punch and dynamic, respecting 
the priority of tone like all the Little Mark heads, plus a new tone setting with 5-band EQ on EQ1, from 
ULTRALOW to HIGH and the two new Old School and Millerizer filters featured on EQ2 taylored together with 
Marcus, allowing to quick obtain a vintage tone or an amazing slap sound. The new bi-band limiter featured 
on this amp responds faster and more dynamically to your playing. It's paired with a 500W power amp, providing 
impeccable bass frequency reproduction thanks to our MPT proprietary amp specifically designed for bass. The 
new LITTLE MARCUS 58R amp new design features all the connections and controls on the front panel leaving on 
the rear panel only the speaker outs and AC power socket, offering optimal ergonomics and making everything 
more practical. All in an high build quality and ultralight new chassis for a super portable package that weights 
only 2,17Kg

EQ 1 NEW TONE SETTING / EQ2 FILTERS
The LITTLE MARCUS 58R has simple, intuitive and effective controls as on the previous Little Marcus head series, 
with best tone choices thanks to the five bands on EQ1, from ULTRALOW to HIGH. An improved versatility is provided
by a new tone setting tuned to offer a more defined, rich and dynamic sound that easily cuts in the mix. The new 
Old School and Millerizer filters setting was developed together with Marcus to allow a wide range of tone, from 
vintage to Marcus unique slap voice. EQ1 and EQ2 can be turned ON/OFF via optional footswitch.

BI-BAND LIMITER
Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and 
lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who 
enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.

AMAZING POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO
State of the art and technology with an amazing power to weight ratio. The LITTLE MARCUS 58R amp boasts 500W of 
power and only weights  2,17Kg/4.78lbs

MODERN CLASSIC WINNING AESTHETIC
This new amp features all the connections and controls on the front panel including a convenient mute switch, 
along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA
with Pre-Post EQ switch to set the XLR output's routing to before or after your EQ as  required, leaving on the 
rear panel only the speaker outs and AC power socket, making everything more practical and with a winning 
aesthetic.
