Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in black, the Mitchell MB100 is a right-handed four-string electric bass with a compact 30-inch scale. The closer fret spacing supports a smaller reach, and the basswood body includes a forearm bevel for a more accommodating playing position through long sessions. Its shallow-D rock maple neck has 21 jumbo frets and a satin finish. Passive split-coil and single-coil pickups feed individual volume controls and a master tone, so you can set their balance directly from the bass.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long practice sessions that benefit from a compact body and forearm bevel
- Adjusting pickup balance directly during a rehearsal, recording session, or live set
- Players looking for a right-handed black short-scale electric bass
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed instrument.
