A few years ago, Markbass top artist Michael League from Snarky Puppy, partnered with Marco De Virgiliis and the Markbass team to develop the Markbass CASA, an amp with classic tone and impeccable sonic integrity. This next evolution – Little Mark 58R CASA – retains cool vintage and modern tone options, in a smaller, ultralight and high build quality chassis making a super portable package. And just like our other amps in the 58R series, the LITTLE MARK 58R CASA’s new design features all the connections and controls on the front panel, keeping a clean rear panel with only power and speaker connectors – this offers optimal ergonomics making everything more practical.
“Marco and I wanted to create an amplifier that makes things simple, one that makes you feel at home with old-school versatility that can suit practically any genre of music. The great amps of the past have all shared the same qualities: rich and deep lows, warm and punchy midrange, and the ability to get a great sound the second you plug in. The Casa has all of these!”
— Michael League
Key Points
SOLID STATE PREAMP
The LITTLE MB CASA’s solid-state preamp has a warm and natural sound, which faithfully reproduces the true tone of your instrument.
BASS AND TREBLE ‘PLUG&PLAY’ BASIC CONTROLS, COMPLETE EQ SECTION
The BASS and TREBLE basic tone controls offers great ‘plug&play’ accessibility and thanks to the complete and effective 5 BAND EQsection, from ULTRALOWto HIGHyou can dial in a wide range of tones.
WINNER OF ‘BLIND LISTENING’ COMPARATIVE TEST VS CLASSIC AMPS
Michael ran a blind listening test for four professionals – two recording engineers and two musicians – using five different amplifiers and over a dozen different basses. On almost every single pass, theCASAwas unanimously chosen alongside the classic amps as the favorite sound for each instrument.
MODERN CLASSIC WINNING AESTHETIC
This new amp features all the connections and controls on the front panel, along with the Line Out level control knob that allows for precise control of the signal sent to the mixer/ PAwith Pre-Post EQ switch to set the XLR output’s routing to before or after your EQ as required. This leaves only the speaker out and AC power socket on the rear panel, ensuring everything is practical with a winning aesthetic.
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.
