Description

Introducing the Schecter Michael Anthony MA-4 Bass, a powerhouse in the realm of electric basses, designed for those who crave both style and substance. Paying homage to the legendary Michael Anthony, known for his seismic performances with Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and The Circle, this bass guitar is crafted to deliver thunderous sound and impeccable playability.

The MA-4 stands out with its striking Gloss Natural finish, accentuating the intricate beauty of its koa top and swamp ash body. The combination of these tonewoods provides a resonant and balanced sonic palette, making each note you play feel both rich and dynamic. The neck, a sturdy 5-piece maple and walnut construction, paired with a smooth rosewood fingerboard, ensures comfortable and swift navigation across all four strings.

Equipped with Michael's own MonsterTone pickups, the MA-4 offers a powerful and focused low-end that cuts through any mix. Whether you're laying down a groove in the studio or performing live on stage, you’ll enjoy precise control over your sound with the master volume and tone controls, complemented by a 3-way toggle switch. Black hardware and a WSC bridge not only add to the bass's sleek aesthetic but also provide enhanced tuning stability, so you can play with confidence.
