Signature head for the cosmopolitan jazz bassist Richard Bona

The Little Mark Ninja 58R is the latest evolution of Markbass’s successful Richard Bona Signature amp head—bringing the legendary Ninja tone into a more accessible and user-friendly format. Building on the popular features of its predecessor, this updated model incorporates smart upgrades from the 58R series, including a redesigned layout that places all input and control connections conveniently on the front panel. Only the speaker output remains on the rear, allowing for quick, hassle-free adjustments during rehearsals or live sets. With its ultra-lightweight design (just 2.57 kg) and an intuitive, streamlined interface, the Little Mark Ninja 58R is the perfect partner for the practice room, studio, or stage.

Precise adjustment options for the sound

Markbass and Richard Bona have equipped the Little Mark Ninja 58R with a wide range of adjustment options to fine-tune your bass sound to perfection. Two EQ presets give you quick access to a neutral, flat sound for transparent, natural tone, or a hi-fi sound with a clear mid-scoop for more punch and presence. The active 4-band tone control, with a +/- 16 dB boost or cut per control, provides precise adjustments across key frequency ranges, allowing you to shape your sound exactly how you like it. And for players who want to explore vintage tones, the “old-school” control shifts the character of your sound into smooth, velvety realms with a high cut, ideal for classic, warm tones.
