Squier MB5 Modern 5-String Electric Bass

Maple neck. Rosewood fingerboard.

Our 30-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee applies on this item. Buy it, and if it isn't just right for you, return it!
Description
For players looking for a twist to your bottom line, look no further than the Showmaster MB-4 and MB-5.

Sporting a solid body, Maple neck, and Rosewood fingerboard, these instruments put a non-traditional spin on the bass. The P/J-bass pickup configurations and passive EQ give these 4- and 5-string basses a crunch and punch all their own.

The MB4 and MB5 have attitude to spare, and come in a trio of metallic finishes.

"Damn good bass"
Feature:
nice, 2 pickups, pickup selector, volume and tone

Quality:
Could have been better put together, and better set up, but its squire, what do you expect

Value:
yeah, really good value

Desirability:
Looks nice

Sound:
Pretty nice, goes from a really growly bassy tone to a very trebly, brittle tone, just right for different styles of music

Support:
Havn't had to have any

Overall:
If I were to replace, I'd probably go for a 6 string, but for a budget bass its great, amazing for beginners, which I was when I got it
