Signature Guitar

Based on Mike Leon's admiration for the LTD B-Series basses that he has used for years on tour and in the studio, the MLB-4 features a textured sandblasted finish on its swamp ash body, its 5-piece wenge/amaranth neck with Extra Thin U profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard. Robust and designed for the road, this bass features an extra long scale 35-inch bolt-on neck construction to explore the fattest bass registers of sound.
