Inspired by centuries of tradition and decades of fine bow making experience, the CodaBow MARQUISE GS is the Gold Standard of master bows. Designed by the leaders of advanced bowmaking, the GS delivers exquisite handling and expressive sound once reserved only for the finest master bows. Uni-directional carbon fiber extends continuously from button to tip for heightened response and sensitivity. Expertly blended advanced and organic fibers offer a tonal vibrancy and resonance unprecedented by any other carbon fiber bow. Supple in the hand and vibrant to the ear, the CodaBow MARQUISE GS appeals to professional bassists more than any other.

The Gold Standard for Master Level Bows

Choice of Hair

Choose between two premium hair options for your Marquise bass bow: White horsehair that glides across the string with its soft touch, or black horsehair that digs into the strings, producing an edgier sound.

Natural Acoustic Core

A meticulously crafted Natural Acoustic Core is comprised of a medley of organic plant fibers delivering a rich, organic experience. Decades of experience has taught us that creating superior, sophisticated sound requires more than just carbon fiber.

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber

Natural and elegant, In-Touch ™ architecture offers the first-ever unidirectional carbon fibers running continuously from button to tip on both sides of the shaft.  This break-through technology allows a player’s fingertips to sense the bow’s full-length dynamics and response as never before, emulating the grain structure of the finest Pernambuco bows. 

Lifetime Technology

All high-wear components (including tip plate, tip wedge, and button bearings) are precision made using industry-leading composite materials to ensure a lifetime of worry-free play.

Xebony® Frog Solution

Stronger and more durable than natural ebony, Xebony® offers peace of mind while preserving endangered resources.

Global Bow Design
