Since its establishment, in April 2001, it was clear some intuitions made the difference. In 2001, after collecting all the experiences that still had to bring me to my success, but realizing the right direction to follow, once again we used all our foolishness and bravery to create Markbass. Many people don’t know my first brand was named Parsek, but after a few years of experience it turned into Markbass in 2001. Today it’s hard to explain even to myself how that was possible. Today we’re around 50 people, but not everybody can understand and totally realize that period where I’ve had a leading role while a dream was turning into reality with huge difficulties. I wanna say the team power, my bravery and the fire I had inside for what I was doing is something I can’t easily describe. I’ve been able to involve into my dreams a small number of persons who shared since the beginning the enthusiasm in a moment where it seemed impossible to even think we would have become one of the first brands in the world in just 15 years. ![]() New playing techniques were coming out and the instrument itself was developing with a lot of 5 and 6 string basses on production so bass amps had to follow this new evolution. A big revolution was going on around bass conception because it was turning from an accompaniment instrument, most of the time, to what it is now. The most popular bass amp brand at the time and all the other brands imitating it had all the same characteristic, I mean they sounded great at the store but they didn’t with the band (I actually played with many bands and many bass players). It was exactly the right moment, because there was the right circumstance. One day I decided to quit my job to start my own brand. For this reason I didn’t have the chance to build my career inside big companies, but I was noticing big mistakes while I was working as an employed. In 1996, beside my passions, I received another strong boost, I mean the fact I didn’t graduate in electronic engineering. Having know-how, desire, experience and being able to suffer is not enough if there’s not a circumstance making the difference without dwelling too much on this concept, the most important phenomenons of the 60’s, like the Beatles… Besides all their ideas and intuitions, they wouldn’t have been able to do today what they did at that time. NOTHING HAPPENS BY CHANCE: THE CIRCUMSTANCE These two passions, around my 30’s, drove me to turn my passions into a job at that point I realized I actually had a third passion: BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT. In the mean time, since I was a kid, I got into electronic and acoustic and my house was full of speakers and amplifiers, even under my bed… It wasn’t just a passion but a real need to create and design something new, out of normal standards. I attended clarinet classes at the conservatory and I immediately developed a passion for saxophone and I remember when I got my first Selmer Mark VI I used to sleep with it… I realized I had a strong passion for musical instruments and I ever thought anybody buying a musical instrument wasn’t getting just an instrument but a Dream! Since I was a kid I’ve ever had a passion for imagination. I ever enjoyed watching the world from a different point of view… from the bottom end! ![]()
