【new】Markbass / KILIMANJARO MAK-B / KLJF15 / B-MOLV 4.075kg #BA400164【GIB Yokohama】

Markbass is one of the most popular bass amplifier brands in the world today.
It's no secret that they're an excellent bass amplifier manufacturer, but they're also an excellent guitar brand.

This model is a modern bass guitar developed in collaboration with Richard Bona.
It is also positioned as his signature model.

It is manufactured in Italy.
I know the person who actually manufactures them, and his original brand is also highly regarded, especially in the EU.
It's safe to say that the quality is of the highest order.

There are many Italian guitar brands that have begun to stand out in recent years, such as Alusonic and Capurso, which give us a sense of Italy's long history as a manufacturer of traditional string instruments.

It is probably because of this heritage that Markbass chose to manufacture their basses in collaboration with a workshop in Italy.

This is a special model, with a body made from northern Italian spruce and olive, a material used in the finest violins.

The body top is olive.
While most previous KILIMANJARO models have had a natural impression, this one has a more modern, exotic look.

The bridge is a HIPSHOT KICKASS.
The overall design is very well-organized, allowing the strings to vibrate naturally and richly.

The tuning machines are GOTOH RES-O-LITE.
It seems that Gotoh tuning machines are being used more frequently recently, especially among European brands. This is probably a sign of their reliability.

The RES-O-LITE is a lightweight type, and the sound quality feels similar to that of the HIPSHOT Ultralite.
It should also be a good choice for those who dislike Japanese-made metal hardware.

The pickups are Bartolini MK5CBC, and the preamp is an original Markbassl.
These are an exceptionally well-matched pairing, with a strong mid-range and rich overtones that allow for flexible sound creation while still retaining the Markbass sound through the preamp.
The Markbass preamp is extremely excellent. It's truly of high quality.

While the sound is different from Fender, the sense of balance feels similar to that of a Fender.
The feel of playing is exceptional, and the bass's quick response and smooth sound give it an indescribable sense of euphoria.

The fact that these nuances are not a coincidence, but are reproducible in every unit, gives it a truly authentic feel.

This is by no means a product made haphazardly by an amp manufacturer.
