We live in a global world where the only global thing is market. Due to the legislation disparities, 
core differences between the various states/continents leading to a big difference on the production 
costs, the end consumer got used, due to theglobal market dynamics, to care mostly about price. That's 
why we created our Gloxy series.
I actually decided to implement a mix on production and raw materials supplying. That leads, with no 
compromise, to the production of unique instruments, valued by professionals and young talents who can 
find the right piece of gear to create their future as artists, without settling for mediocre instruments 
with no real identity, to make their dreams come true.
This project/process let me make the most of the advantages of living in Italy, with an “Italian Style”, 
relying on Glocalization to win in globalization. By Glocalization I mean making the most from our “Local” 
world, resulting by living in Italy, with a unique lifestyle the
world envies us, using all that creativity everybody acknowledges us, other than the advantages perfectly 
and harmonically mixed with the relationship network we built worldwide. This mix let me develop and design 
unique instruments with an unbeatable value for money.
Mine is not just a product, it's a project, a different way to conceive production and the way to do 
business, a new philosophy that let us synergistically merge the advantages of this historical period.
Result? Products with a consistent and extremely important added value: Ours!

GV SERIES
GV SERIES is our range of bass guitars that demonstrate our ability to produce a high quality instrument 
at an incredible price.
This achievement is a direct result of our tireless work to compare the quality and price of parts and 
materials from a wide range of
suppliers. We chose only the best components for our Gloxy series, maintaining our focus on excellent 
value for money.

PLAYABILITY / COMFORT / QUALITY ASSURANCE
The bass neck has the same characteristics as our JP series of instruments - inherent playability, and 
comfort. The balance of each
string is accurate and defined, without any 'boomy' resonant frequencies even across the fifth string's 
range. Each instrument is
inspected for quality against our strict requirements at our headquarters in Italy. Gloxy series bass 
guitars receive the same standard of
care and attention as our higher end instruments.

MB INSTRUMENT PRE INSIDE
The Gloxy series is equipped with the same MB Instrument Pre that is featured on our premium range of 
instruments. This onboard
preamp is designed from the ground up by Markbass to faithfully reproduce the sound of your instrument. 
Changes in the volume level
when switching from Active to Passive and back again are almost imperceptible - a unique feature of the 
exceptional circuitry inside.
Simple & ergonomic controls allow you to richly boost or cut your EQ without clipping or distorting the 
signal - even at the maximum
settings - allowing the MB Instrument Pre to work with you in any environment.

DELUXE GIG BAG INCLUDED

Rotosound Bronze Bass 44 5-String Acoustic Standard 45 - 130 Long Scale

Beyond the bronze age
Phosphor bronze is an alloy of copper and tin and has become the industry standard for acoustic guitar strings. 
For music string wire, tin alloyed with copper adds an excellent all round sound with depth and warmth without 
loss of clarity – not quite the zing or edginess of brass but with more of an accentuated middle."

A string for everyone
With so many musicians experimenting with unique gauges and drop tunings it is hardly surprising to know that Swing 
Bass Custom Box Singles, first introduced in the ’60s, enjoy more popularity now than ever before.
With such a wide range starting from 0.025" to 0.140" in increments of 0.005" there will be a gauge to suit 
everyone’s custom set."

Great British quality
Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Rotosound strings 
for consistent tone and performance in every packet.
Every Swing Bass 66 string is manufactured on custom built machines designed and built in the UK by Jason How.

Iconic music strings
This innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound 
strings in the sixties.Developed in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are 
synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history. Started in 1958 by James How, an engineer who made strings 
or his own instruments, Rotosound became known around the world for its superior quality products and famous endorsees 
such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Queen to name just a few. The Who’s John Entwistle started a long partnership with 
James and helped develop the Swing Bass roundwound strings which have become the industry standard.
Gathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis to Guthrie 
Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation."
