Spira - Bass B400 MBK Black

The Spira B400 MBK bass is designed for bassists who need a precise sound that remains clear even when the rest of the band is playing loudly. Its active electronics help to maintain a clean bass response, without any muddiness, even when the guitars and drums are taking centre stage. The roasted poplar body keeps the weight down and remains comfortable during rehearsals and live performances alike. The black satin finish gives it a simple, straightforward look, without any unnecessary visual frills.

The roasted maple neck with a Modern D profile remains responsive under the fingers. The roasted maple fingerboard ensures a clear attack and good note definition across the entire length of the neck. The 24 jumbo frets provide a wide range for more technical lines or passages up the neck. The 34" scale length maintains classic string tension, making it easy to pick up and play straight from another instrument without a complicated adjustment period.

The Spira active soapbar pickups are designed to deliver punch without becoming muddy. The bass frequencies remain tight, the mid-range comes through clearly and the attack remains crisp even when played hard. The fixed bridge helps maintain good tuning stability and consistent intonation along the entire neck. The volume and tone controls allow you to quickly adjust the overall level without fiddling with complicated settings.

The black tuning machines contribute to overall tuning stability whilst playing. The composite nut ensures good string retention and minimises friction points. The 13.75" radius facilitates smooth playing, whether playing chords or fast runs.
