MARKBASS - ITALY

1.1 A WORD FROM MARCO DE VIRGILIIS
When I began to develop the Markbass concept in Italy several years ago I had one objective in mind: to produce a top-quality bass amp that would meet the needs of profes-
sional bass players everywhere. I wanted my amps to be compact and lightweight, yet able to handle the low frequencies that today’s four, ve and six string passive and active
basses are capable of producing. Thanks to modern technology and the availability of high-quality components like low-prole toroidal transformers, neodymium speakers and
so on, I was able to accomplish this.
The Markbass amplier circuitry is designed specically not to color the sound of the bass but to faithfully reproduce the unique tonal qualities of whatever instrument is played
through it. I have worked very closely with many high-prole professional bass players around the world to ne-tune the Markbass product line.
I am condent that the Markbass line of amps and cabinets is now ready to satisfy the needs of bass players all over the world.
Thanks for choosing Markbass; I hope you will nd your new amp to be an inspiring upgrade to your sound!
