MM-85A SB Deluxe Series : My first 5 string, doubt I'll need another

4 years ago

The delivery was quick and the bass is 10/10! needed a little setup, (lower action + pickups) but that was easily done with the tools provided and a philips head screwdriver! The neck feels just like a quartersawn satin vibe, the bass stays in tune well, the hardware does the job, no sharp frets or even the slightest sign of damage/poor craftsmanship. The biggest for me is the 9v connector being SUCH an improvement over the exposed red and black wires with the 'hat' the battery has to wear, just slide it down until it touches the springs! Sunburst flame/dark maroon red on the back is stunning and with a little compression and footswitchable EQ, switching between the pickups is a breeze (the single coil modes are quiet compared to the humbuckers so the compression will level that out, the EQ just to beef the bottom end up on the single coils so it's consistent across switching) but overall this bass is incredible! Highly recommend!
