Based on the warm and natural tone of Richard Bona's signature amp, the quick-and-deadly Little Mark Ninja 58R comes with improved and advanced functions that read more like the spec-sheet of the 58R. The connection and control layout has been tweaked and made even more ergonomic, where everything is on the front panel, with only the speaker and power ports mounted at the rear, putting everything within reach. This amp head also boasts an innovative 1,000 Watt Mark Proprietary Technology power amp section that thrusts out an impressive, powerful output that retains flawless clarity, even when the volume is pushed up. All of it has been carefully designed to ensure that the inherent sound of your bass remains in tact before being pushed up a few levels. The Little Mark Ninja 58R: A Warm & Natural Foundation The Markbass 58R essentially lays down a warm and natural foundation for bassists to start building their sound, slotting it seamlessly into the sonic vision of Richard Bona and Marco De Virgiliis. The refurbished four-band EQ section makes it easy to find your new go-to sound, and every frequency band gives you the option to boost or cut by up to 16dB. Twist the Old School pot open to pull out some of the treble frequencies and leave a richer and more supple sound behind and, via a satisfying EQ setting knob, the output can be flipped between a balanced flat sound and a scooped preset that lowers the mids and strengthens the basses and trebles - setting up your sound for slap bass in one shot. Of course, you could just bypass the knob completely and opt for customised EQ settings. Simply Controls & Organic Limiting A compatible Markbass-designed dual footswitch (sold separately) can also be hooked up to the Ninja, granting quick hands-free access to the mute function and the scooped-EQ setting. The new bi-band limiter also boasts a faster and more dynamic response to your playing than more standard limiters, keeping the trebles a touch more open and making sure that your bass sound retains organic presence. An outstanding pick for bassist in need of power and volume, the 1000 Watt Little Mark Ninja 58R might be your new best mate.
