Bass

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 PNB is a short scale acoustic bass guitar that utilizes a parlor body shape. This compact instrument is ideal for situations such as playing on the couch, outdoors, as well as more informal occasions. However the PNB is also a valuable on stage tool. Since the 25in short scale is similar in feel to a regular guitar, it is more comfortable for both guitarists and electric bassists to play than a full size acoustic bass. The shorter scale and compact parlor body also make it a more user friendly platform for beginners. Despite the compact body size, the PNB has an impressively powerful acoustic volume.Product Features Maple neckThe Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character.
