The Gloxy series of basses is designed by Markbass' Italian craftsmen with focus on tone, style, playability and comfort. Even the unwanted 'boomy' resonance commonly found around the 5th fret on too many 'high end' basses has been avoided thanks to the balance of each string being accurate and defined.

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 this preamp.
