Bacci Marlita 4 String - Red Alder with Wormwood Inlay

The Bacci Marlita 4 String is a striking example of modern boutique bass building, where artistry, restraint, and performance live comfortably side by side. Finished in natural nitrocellulose lacquer, this instrument lets the materials speak clearly, highlighting the warmth of the Red Alder body and the subtle, organic beauty of the Wormwood inlay. It feels intentional and honest, with nothing hidden and nothing overstated.

At the heart of the Marlita is Bruno Bacci’s unmistakable design voice. His presence in the guitar and bass world is defined by a relentless pursuit of balance, tone, and tactile connection. Bruno’s work reflects deep respect for traditional forms, while confidently pushing them forward through refined aesthetics and thoughtful engineering. The Marlita embodies that philosophy, offering familiar comfort paired with a distinct visual and sonic identity.

The Figured Maple neck, finished in a nitrocellulose aged tone, delivers a smooth, broken in feel right out of the case. Paired with an Ebony fingerboard, 22 frets, a 9.5 inch radius, and a classic 34 inch scale length, the Marlita plays with effortless precision and consistency across the entire neck. Every note feels deliberate and controlled, whether you are laying down foundational grooves or exploring more expressive passages.

Tonally, the Aguilar AG 4 P-Hot pickup brings authoritative punch, clarity, and warmth. Controlled simply by volume and tone, the circuit stays true to the instrument’s mission, putting sound and touch first. The Bacci Marleo brass bridge and brass knobs add both visual cohesion and tonal weight, enhancing sustain and articulation. Hipshot Ultralite chrome mini clover tuners keep the bass perfectly balanced, contributing to its comfortable 8 lb 14 oz overall weight.

Delivered in a Bacci custom logo hardshell case, the Marlita 4 String feels like a complete statement from Bruno Bacci. It is a bass built for players who value craftsmanship, musicality, and individuality, and who understand that true luxury is found in feel, tone, and intention rather than excess.
