Markbass Ships Yellow Series of Affordable Basses

MarkBass Yellow Series basses
Words by Mixdown staff

With three tried-and-true designs to choose from - the Yellow Series has something for you.

Markbass is now shipping their Yellow range of basses, that use the signature warm yellow finish from their amp range as a distinguishing feature. There are three basses in the Yellow range. All three are built to a high level of quality, at an affordable price.

The Markbass YELLOW JB bass features a classic slim neck, based on feedback from players who felt this offered easier finger placement. The two single-coil pickups make it a very versatile bass, allowing you to blend them to access a wide variety of tones – great for finger style or slap. The Markbass Yellow PB bass gets its classic punch from its split-coil pickup, which is a favourite among bassists. Thanks to its intuitive volume and tone controls, it’s easy to dial in the tone you’re looking for.

The Markbass Yellow Short Scale bass is a 30″ short scale bass with a truly ergonomic feel. Its shorter scale means less stretching for the fretting hand, making it more comfortable for players with smaller hands or those who struggle with reach. The reduced string length results in lower string tension, which can be easier on the fingers and allows for easier string bending. You’ll also experience a slightly warmer, rounder tone due to the reduced string tension and shorter vibrating length (and appreciate its added portability). Every Yellow bass is individually inspected at Markbass’ headquarters in Italy, receiving the same standard of care and attention given to Markbass’ flagship and signature instruments.

RRP for all three models is $795, being available locally through CMC Music. Visit CMC Music here, or keep reading at MarkBass.
