MM-84A SB Deluxe Series : Musicman style for a little money

Packed out plugged in and shocked. A bassguitar for that amount of money?

1st of all it's stunning. The sunburst is a bit brighter than the photos: more like a red to a yellow to a natural wood tone. The neck grain is a general maple, not much lacker on it. Fast neck. The frets a bit high for me, i preffer the smaller ones like a Jazzbass style but overall not a huge problem. The tuners are great, hold the tune. The only thing that got my eyes is the nut: made out of strawberry bouble gum lollipop neck plastic. It's going to be change to tusk or bone.

The sound: After 2-3 hours of setup (neck adjustment, string height and pickup height) the bass is pretty much as playable as my Cort A5 bass but this one has the classic musicman style of sound wich one i preffer. RaM to Jaco or classic active jazz bass tone all useable. Like a swiss nife. Alnico 5 Rosewell pickups are awesome!

I'm going to buy the 5 string as well and sell my Cort A5 (if i can after this review). Don't hesitate to buy this one if you are looking for a great bass!
