Markbass is one of the most popular bass amp brands in the world today.
It is no secret that they are an excellent bass amp manufacturer, but they are also an excellent guitar/bass brand.
This is the JP series, with a body shape based on the PB motif and electronics based on the JB motif.
Manufacturing is done in Italy.
I know the person who actually does the manufacturing, and his original brand is equally highly regarded, especially within the EU.
It is safe to say that the quality is of the highest quality.
There are many Italian guitar brands that have begun to emerge in recent years, such as Arsonic, Igo, and Capuso, which remind us that we have long been a traditional stringed instrument manufacturing country.
It is precisely because of this background that Markbass has also chosen to make basses in cooperation with Italian domestic workshops.
The body is made of lightweight Alder wood.
The fingerboard is Pau Ferro, decorated with binding and block inlays.
The bridge and tuners are marked MARKABSS.
The pickups and preamp are likewise original.
The pickups are very traditional, and the preamp to go with them is very good.
It produces a trebly texture on top of a strong midrange and plenty of volume in the bass range, which is typical of Markbass.
It has a nice basic sound, but the flexible 3-band EQ allows you to create your own sound at will.
The playability is impressive, though it is strangely the same for both the Chinese and the Italian-made ones.
The high quality of the neck area of the guitar allows for stress-free playing, and the response of the sound when the strings are plucked is very pleasing.
The fact that these nuances can be realized not by chance, but with reproducibility in all the pieces, gives it the feel of an authentic instrument.
This is not a product made by an amp manufacturer with just a handful of time on his hands.
