Feline MANTA BASS - DUNCAN PICKUP AND JOHN EAST CIRCUIT

OUR TAKE ON A 70s CLASSIC THAT PACKS A PUNCH

Simple and elegant take on this bass 
An ash body, mated to a maple neck with rosewood board
Tuners and bridge are from Schaller 
Pickup is a Seymour Duncan 70’s Music Man Alnico 5 4 String

We paired that with a great Stingray circuit from John East:
The MMSR 4 Knob 3 Band has been designed with characteristics very similar to the original MM Stingray 2 Band EQ, in order to retain the same interaction between the MM pickup and the electronics, crucial in creating the original pre EB sound colours. A Mid Sweep, is included along with original MM style Bass and Treble. When the Mid boost/cut is centred, its effect is neutral and the EQ is purely late 70s MM style.
