Description

MARKBASS KIMANDU OLD RED 5 BK MAPLE

This extraordinary series of basses is the result of a great collaboration between Richard Bona and Marco De Virgiliis who adhered to the fundamental principle they share: they accept no compromises. Richard is one of the most appreciated and respected musicians worldwide, and from the beginning of this project, he stated that he would never put his name (or his fingers) on an instrument that doesn't offer the highest quality standards. Kimandu basses share the same charm, design, and philosophy as the high-end Kilimanjaro series products. The same main features have been maintained, but the production process has been optimized to allow for this incredible price. The MB Instrument Pre was created after numerous tests and built with the best components on the market. Markbass has concentrated all its know-how into this ultra-compact circuit and has chosen the right frequencies for the best sound reproduction. Its tone control circuits were designed not only to enhance these frequencies but also to provide a unique and rich response when boosting and cutting, always offering a very clean and focused bass sound without losing details. Furthermore, the circuits were developed to offer subtle volume differences when switching from passive to active and vice versa: a feature highly appreciated by all musicians. It offers a wide range of wiring options/applications and operates at 9V or 18V, with very low power consumption.
