The ULTIMATE series bass strings are made of high quality selected nickel plated steel wire, 
hand-wound on hexagonal high carbon content core by master string makers. They are 
designed to give softer touch and feeling, still offering a super string-to-string balanced 
tone and traditional warm nickel sound.

Markbass Strings are made at our factory in Abruzzo (Italy), using the best selected 
innovative materials and ultimate quality controls matched with the ancient tradition 
of master string makers.   
Maybe not many people know that since the past centuries Abruzzo has been the 
motherland of almost all string makers.
The art of string making was born in this beautiful part of the world and many great 
brands in today’s worldwide market can trace their own origins here,  it's a history 
made of skilled hands, hard work, sacrifices and so much genius: typical features 
of  people from Abruzzo.
This artistry and know how have been exported worldwide as well, offering a superior 
product with exceptional performance, amazing feeling, intonation and reliability!

The LITTLE MARK IV NINJA first and foremost respects the priority of tone that has driven the worldwide success 
of our top-seller head Little Mark Ninja Richard Bona signature. The new release is upgraded with the new features
of the Little Mark IV like: the updated 4 band EQ, the Old School filter, the 3-way rotary switch, the new bi-
band limiter and powered by our astounding 1000W MPT power amp. It gives a massive amount of power, exceptionally 
clear and dynamic, and performs flawlessly thanks to the cutting-edge Mark Proprietary Technology!

MARK OF NINJA
The Little Mark IV Ninja sound is warm and natural and respects the tone of your instrument without compromise, 
perfectly aligned with the vision of Richard Bona and Marco De Virgiliis.

UPDATED 4 BAND EQ, OLD SCHOOL FILTER, 3 WAY SWITCH
Our updated 4 band EQ section features very effective controls allowing you to easily find the sound you want, 
boosting or cutting up to 16dB for each of the 4 bands to cover all the tonal nuances needed in any genre of
music. Additionally the Old School filter cuts your high
frequencies and gives a round and smooth tone. The 3 way rotary-switch allows you to choose between a super-
balanced flat tone, a
scooped preset that drops the mids while boosting the lows and highs - giving a superb slap sound, or lastly the 
'FSW' option to control both mute and the Scooped EQ on demand by connecting an optional dual footswitch.

1000W high-power / ultimate dynamics
This high-power head gets amplified by a potent 1000W MPT power amp. The Little Mark IV Ninja boasts large supply
of power and
serious headroom with exceptionally clear sound and ultimate dynamics at any volume you play!

BI-BAND LIMITER
Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do and 
lets your high end "breathe" for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who
enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.

MUTE / LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL / PRE-POST EQ SWITCH
Featured on the front panel of the Little Mark IV series amps are a convenient mute switch, along with the Line 
Out level control knob that
allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PA. On the rear panel is a Pre-Post EQ switch allowing
you to set the XLR output's routing to before or after your EQ as required.

MPT - MARK PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco 
De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in house. Our MPT power amp was 
built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

Minimum ohm load for all Markbass heads is 4 ohms.
Markbass amps/combos are manufactured to be sold and used in the country of purchase, and they are factory preset 
to that country’s voltage. Due to homologation issues, the voltage may not be changed.
Rack ears do not come included with this head.
Product specifications are subject to change without notice.
