Enhanced MJ-4EB Lake Blue : Super versatile for the money

I’m mainly a guitarist, so I wanted a bass to record demos with and just play for fun, and this bass performs very good for the money. It also looks pretty good in a slightly metallic blue finish.

Mine played very good right out of the box with no sharp or dead frets or anything like that. The only quality complaint would a volume push-pull know is a bit wobbly.

Sound-wise this bass is very versatile. You can split the humbucker, blend pickups, switch active/passive. The active preamp isn’t the most interesting, EQ is very basic, so I mostly use it in a passive mode, but then it’s missing a tone knob. Overall, if you are not looking for some specific sound, this bass gives you a lot of usable options, so I would recommend it to beginners or anyone who can have only one bass.
