MARKBASS LITTLE MARCUS SERIES
Marcus Miller is renowned for his groundbreaking style and trademark sound, and Marco De Virgiliis is considered an innovator being the rst pioneer introducing
lightweight, portable, powerful and great sounding bass heads and cabinets.
The Little Marcus amps are the result of the meeting of these groundbreaking roads.
It’s not just an endorsement but it is dream coming true!
MARCUS & MARCO
- Marcus: “We don’t wanna make an amp to let you sound just like me, this is
gonna be something where you’re gonna be free to be whoever you want. A lot of amps force you to be a certain bass player. That’s cool in some ways. But what happens if just one day you’re in a situation where you need a dierent tone where you need to cut through in a dierent way because of the hall or the crowd? You don’t wanna be limited.”
- Marco: “We’re following you because you know what you want and we know we can do it”
- Marcus: “A lot of people have ideas, but being able to achieve the idea it’s a
whole another thing”
- Marco: “Since the moment when I started building my very rst amp I’ve been thinking about you. So this is dream coming true for me, working and developing an amp for you! Thank you Marcus!” ________________________________________________________________
“I can immediately get my sound from my “Little Marcus” signature heads. But these amps not only let you sound like me, thanks to the ve band EQ and the new “Old School” and “Millerizer” lters, you can get ANY tone you need, no limits!!!”
