Bass of the Week: Millimetric Instruments MB4
This week we’re checking out a cool minimalist design from Millimetric Instruments called the MB4. The four-stringer is their first bass model and shows some Travis Bean influence in its neck.
“This bass was made seeking efficiency in sound and playing,” the company writes. “The tone lies in the neck construction, pickups and the use of maple. MB4 sound is aiming tones of the 90’s noise, such as Shellac and Jesus lizard, etc. This bass will provide you sustain, large frequency response and the punch and clarity you need.”
Though options are available, the MB4 is crafted from maple as a standard. You can choose pickups, a neck profile, colors, and woods.
