With a fat, punchy tone that's ideal for classic rock, country, punk, surf and more, the MB PB is built for versatile performance.

Iconic Tone From a Split-Coil Pickup The MB PB is equipped with a classic split-coil pickup that delivers rich, powerful tone. Known for its full low end and balanced midrange, this pickup design has been favored for decades by bassists across multiple genres. Whether ’re holding down the groove in a rock band or exploring cleaner tones for roots or punk, this pickup provides the clarity and output needed to cut through the mix. The straightforward volume and tone controls let quickly dial in desired sound with ease. Comfortable Playability With a Wider Neck The MB PB bass features a slightly wider neck profile, offering added comfort and a more relaxed fretting hand position. The smooth maple neck and 34" scale length make for effortless movement across the 20 frets, while helping to reduce fatigue during long sessions or rehearsals. Whether ’re a beginner or an experienced player who prefers a more stable neck feel, the MB PB’s thoughtful design promotes confident, accurate playing. Simple, Intuitive Controls Tone shaping is made easy with individual volume and tone knobs. The volume control lets adjust output level for clean rhythm playing or a more aggressive presence, while the tone knob allows to shape EQ—whether want added brightness or a deeper, more rounded sound. The streamlined lat gives fast access to key controls without overcomplication. Reliable Quality and Value Built with a solid poplar body and maple neck, the MB PB is engineered for consistent performance and lasting durability. A sleek black pickguard adds a classic visual touch while protecting the finish. Each bass is individually inspected at the Markbass facility in Italy to ensure a high standard of craftsmanship. A padded gig bag is included for easy transport and safe storage, making the MB PB a practical and inspiring option for players at any level.
