Bassmurf Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 It is a Squier MB-5 (apparently discontinued now) - here's some info..... Featuring a solid body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, the Squier MB5 puts a non-traditional spin on the bass. The P/J-bass pickup configurations and passive EQ give the Squier MB5 a crunch and punch all its own. Squier MB5 main features include: Agathis, Sleek Contoured Body Neck: Rosewood, C-Shape, (Polyurethane Finish) Fingerboard: Rosewood, 12" Radius (305mm) 22 Medium Jumbo frets Scale length: 34" (864 mm) Chrome hardware 2-Over 2-Under Die-Cast Mini Tuners Special Design 4-Saddle Bridge 1 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass Pickup (Mid), 1 Single-Coil Jazz Bass Pickup (Bridge) Controls: Master Volume, Pickup Pan Pot, Master Tone Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Well I bought it, and I'm loving the 5 strings. I thought I'd find it a bit weird but it feels really natural. Got it for £50 BTW... Edited June 21, 2009 by benwhiteuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
