The new C4 Plus ZBMH model features boutique high-end looks, materials, components and performance in a high-value package for the serious bass player. The C4 Plus ZBMH features the luxurious high-end look of the Zebrawood "wings" and Maple "center" top with the midrange growl and punch of Mahogany body. The Markbass MB-1 EQ provides a very natural and transparent boost that does not color the organic nature or resonance of the instrument’s woods. The crystal clarity and natural warmth combined exude a passive feel with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs. The Markbass 3-Band EQ brings out the best acoustic nature of the bass instrument. The trademark Bartolini sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing superb sound quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound. The matching headstock matched to the Zebrawood body provides a tasteful and classy visual aesthetic for an ungraded high-end look and feel. The stiffness and strength of Canadian Hard Maple neck not only provides stability but contributes punch and brilliance to the overall tone of the instrument.
