Featuring an arched flamed maple top, pearloid/abalone vector inlays, and a crème multi-ply binding, this instrument is designed to astonish. The Omen Extreme sounds just as good as it looks thanks to its mahogany body and Schecter’s own Diamond Bass pickups.

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!

The impetus behind each one of these unique instruments comes from a desire by the Ibanez bass development team to satisfy the particular needs of many players. These inventions may not be for everyone, but for those who yearn to explore new sonic vistas through the medium of bass: The Ibanez Bass Workshop project may give you just what you're looking for.

This is 5-string version of the monster bass, TRB series. TRB was born as a versatile 6-string bass guitar along with the greater involvement of synthesizers in music in end of 1980s. TRB has been developed to cover low tonal range with a 6th string (low B), which could not be reached by orthodox 4-string bass, and also the 1st (high C) makes possible for advanced players for further improvisation and expression.
