MB4
Millimetric's first bass design, an ambidextrous double-cutaway 4-string offered in 33" or 30" scale.
About this guitar
The MB4 is Millimetric’s first bass, adapting the bold MG6 guitar shape to bass proportions with deeper horns and a longer scale (33” or 30”, customer’s choice). Like the MG6, it’s built to be ambidextrous and shares that model’s noise-rock-inspired emphasis on clarity, sustain, and punch. Construction follows the house formula: a bolt-on neck built to feel like a neck-through, in-house hardware, and a choice of Canadian wood species and eco-friendly finish. Tuners are Hipshot’s ultralight series rather than the guitar line’s standard locking tuners.
