With the Little Marcus 58R, Markbass serves up the next-generation of their insanely popular Marcus Miller Signature bass amplifier.

With 500 Watts of might, this amplifier head packs more than enough power to slice through the band mix.The Little Markbass Marcus 58R: The Right StuffThe all-new Italian-made MB58R Series is focussed on a sustainable future. Since these models are both designed and built in Italy, the production process is less dependent on more rare, previously imported components. This also improves production time. Every 58R Series offering is also incredibly lightweight, delivers masses of volume and is 100% recyclable.

Built with surgical-grade precision in Germany, the Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/J Bass pretty much embodies attention to detail. The ultimate in sonic adaptability, this bass wields the finesse of an MM-style humbucker at the bridge and a J-style single-coil at the mid-position. This wide-range setup is coupled with an active two-band EQ circuit with bass and treble boost and a Vintage Tone Control. The result is an insanely flexible instrument with an entirely unique character. This four-string edition has a red alder body with a Natural Transparent Satin finish.The MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/J Bass: The Finer ThingsBesides the breathtaking tonal range, the Sadowsky M/J Bass boasts an impressive level of playability. While the body bears a J-style shape, it's a touch smaller and more manageable than a standard J-bass, and provides an extra-deep pair of cutaways. The maple neck has the familiar feel of a C-profile and a fretboard with a modern 12 inch radius, while smaller but just as essential details include the Just-A-Nut III nut and a set of ultra-stable lightweight open-gear machine heads. Fully refined from the lower bout to the headstock, the Sadowsky MetroLine 21-Fret Vintage M/J Bass comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a Sadowsky Portabag.

Carefully put together in the Ibanez Bass Workshop, the SRMS725 multi-scale 5-string bass offers bassists the extended range and snug feel of a scale length that graduates from 35.5 to 34 inches, resulting in a slightly tightened-up B-string that's easier to intonate for clearer lows while the higher strings have the more loose feel needed for supple licks and high melodies. At the same time, the Soundgear-style okoume body, bolt-on SRM5 five-piece maple/walnut neck and the 12-inch-radiussed, panga-panga fretboard combine to offer optimum playing comfort.The SRMS725: Fishman Fluence Voice Select SwitchThe two Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups from Fishman lay down a much cleaner foundation sound than traditional wound bass guitar pickups and have been wired up to a Fluence Voice Select 3-Way Switch to give you the pick of three different core sounds: classic, dynamic and Hi-Fi. Pop out the volume pot and the double-coil sound turns into single-coil sound, giving you even more options before you've even tweaked the Balancer pot to dial in your preferred blend of both Soapbars, or played around with the powerful 3-band EQ complete with bass and treble boost and cut options for the perfect low, mid and high balance.
