Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Squier dealer

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.

"The Best Ever!!!"

Sound: From the nice clean sounds to the most distorted possible, this bass is just the best, out of words. Feature: What more could you want then a set of Fender's finest srings. Quality: Not only it has a great finish, but it's very resistant to shocks and to bents. Value: Definitely worth the price. Manufacturer Support: Didn't have to deal with any companny because I never had nay problem with it. The Wow Factor: I was looking for a bass for about a few weeks when I saw it's picture over the Net and i immediately ordered one. Overall: I think i'll never have to change it.

"Damn good bass"

Sound: Pretty nice, goes from a really growly bassy tone to a very trebly, brittle tone, just right for different styles of music 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 Manufacturer Support: Havn't had to have any The Wow Factor: Looks nice 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

Style of Music: Rock, Metal, Concert band,
