A Modern Signature in the Markbass Universe, alongside Andrew Gouché

A reliable choice in the mid-range, the GV4 GOG is part of Markbass's bass development in collaboration with Andrew Gouché, a major figure in soul music. The concept is clear: to offer a bass with a traditional "Jazz" feel but equipped with modern features and particularly refined playability, notably thanks to a thin and fast neck.

For Whom and Which Styles?

Thanks to its ergonomics and passive electronics, this bass is aimed both at intermediate bassists seeking a reliable and expressive instrument, and at advanced musicians who want a simple, effective, and easy-to-adjust sonic foundation. It excels in soul, funk, pop, jazz, and R&B, while retaining enough punch and definition for more modern contexts.

Sound

The alder body provides a very versatile balance, with full low-mids and a consistent response across the entire neck. The two MB Noiseless JJ Style pickups allow switching from a round and deep tone (neck pickup) to a more snappy and articulated attack (bridge pickup), or blending both for a rich and balanced sound. The passive electronics emphasize playing dynamics: by adjusting the separate volumes and tone control, you can quickly sculpt a sound ranging from smooth and mellow to sharper and brighter, without unnecessary complexity.
