MARKBASS LITTLE MARCUS 500

When our Top-Artist MARCUS MILLER announced at NAMM 17 he was joining forces with Markbass, 
he said him and Marco De Virgiliis were looking forward to doing some very cool things together 
the same year… they kept their promise!
 
Marcus Miller is renowned for his groundbreaking style and trademark sound, and Marco De Virgiliis 
is considered an innovator being the first pioneer introducing lightweight, portable, powerful and 
great sounding bass heads and cabinets. The Marcus Miller signature series is the result of the 
meeting of these groundbreaking roads.
It has been really exciting for Marco working and developing a series of products with Marcus, 
as since the moment he started building his very first amp he has been thinking about him. 
It’s not just an endorsement but a dream coming true.
We have 100% satisfied him and everyone will immediately recognize his sound in every product 
of his signature lineup, but these amps not only let you sound like him, they’ll make you able 
to cover all the different tones you need, with no limits!!!

The LITTLE MARCUS infact not only suits Marcus needs and taste, but is a great choice for every 
bassist who needs a head amp with an amazing clear definition, punch and dynamic, respecting 
the priority of tone like all the Little Mark heads.
It offers simple and very effective controls on EQ1 to taylor your sound for any kind of genres 
and styles, and the two new Old School and Millerizer filters featured on EQ2 taylored together 
with Marcus allows to quick obtain a vintage tone or an amazing slap sound.
