Independent shopping perspective
The M-4 Black Metal is a right-handed, four-string bass with an alder body, bolt-on maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and 34-inch scale. Its satin-black design extends to the components and hardware. A single direct-mount EMG 35CS humbucker handles the electronics through one master volume control; its ceramic magnets and steel poles are described as delivering warmth and punch, a smooth top end, and substantial output. The bass also carries a Gotoh 201B-4 bridge, Grover tuners, and 21 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets.
