It features a gorgeous maple neck and fingerboard which guarantees a comfortable playability, as well as the 20 rolled edge frets which will help you glide over the fingerboard with ease. The pickups can be altered between active and passive, and the on board preamp will allow you to cover any of your tone shaping and FQ desires so you can find your perfect voice, every time.

If you’re looking for a tonally rich and diverse instrument which is produced with passion and attention to detail, then look no further. The combination of a basswood body and maple cut neck brings a sparkling brightness to the voice of your bass – you can expect powerful lows and clarity across the scale. This all-maple designed neck is produced fundamentally for the comfort and playability of the musician. It also manages to supress any fierce low-end aggression with four carefully and accurately balanced strings, meticulously measured with 18mm of spacing in-between each string to guarantee a glorious resonance.
The real party-piece of this bass guitar is the MB instrument preamp that is installed within the body. Hand-crafted using industry standard components, this ultra-compact circuit accurately reproduces the sound of your bass and allows you to switch between active and passive settings seamlessly, with a subtle change in volume. It's designed with the ability to boost or cut your sound, while consistently ensuring a focused, clean and powerful bass tone. Working at either 9V or 18V, the preamp harnesses an impressively long battery life thanks to its low power consumption, so you can shred to your heart’s content.
Combine classic bass style from the jazz bass inspired body shape, and timeless retro with the all-black wrap. This bass certainly stands out in a crowd. The simple finish to the body is one continuous colour which complements the black pickups, maple neck, and matching the headstock to tie the aesthetic of the guitar together. Included with an MB Bass gig bag, this instrument is the entire package - and more.
