The LTD MLB-4, Mike Leon’s Signature Series bass, delivers a powerhouse instrument designed to handle the aggressive and versatile demands of modern metal. Inspired by Mike’s years of touring with Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy, the MLB-4 offers a combination of rugged durability, sleek aesthetics, and unparalleled tonal flexibility.
The MLB-4 is built with a sandblasted swamp ash body for a unique texture and striking appearance, complemented by a satin black headstock. Its extra-thin five-piece wenge/purpleheart neck features an open-pore finish for a silky, comfortable feel and is bolted to the body with sturdy 6-bolt construction. With a 35” scale length, the MLB-4 excels at delivering a thunderous low end with clarity and precision. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard includes 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
This bass comes equipped with Nordstrand Big Splits pickups, offering a muscular, smooth tone and a broad dynamic range. The onboard ABQ-3 three-band active EQ allows for detailed tone shaping, making the MLB-4 an incredibly versatile instrument for any style of metal. High-quality hardware includes Gotoh tuners and a Gotoh 404BO-4 hardtail bridge for superior tuning stability and sustain.
