FB706 Fusion series 6-string bass guitar with active EQ Natural

Mitchell

Description

The Mitchell FB Series includes feature-rich, multi-genre basses designed for the do-it-all player who is equally comfortable in rock, metal, country, jazz, blues and more.

The Mitchell FB706 Fusion bass features an offset double-cutaway, carved mahogany body topped with a precision-cut AAA quilt maple veneer for high-end looks, and fitted with an easy-playing 5-piece maple neck with rosewood fretboard. The premium MB4 paraffin-dipped alnico V humbucking pickups provide exceptional tone and microphonic/feedback rejection, while the active preamp gives you outstanding tonal control. Includes boost or cut to low, mid and high frequencies, and a pickup blend control knob for even more sound sculpting options. High-tensile strength fretwire and die-cast high-ratio tuning machines add to the premium feel.

Mitchell basses receive a complete stateside setup and quality control inspection to ensure exceptional playability. A case is sold separately.

    I'm a long time 4 string player who gigs regularly, and was eager to add a nice 6 string to my arsenal. My wife got this for me for Christmas and it was a great gift! This Mitchell 6 string delivers the goods with versatile tonal options from the humbuckers and preamp/active EQ. I can dial in a nice jazz fusion tone or a rock tone like Michael Anthony in Van Halen (think early 90s with the Sting Ray). This bass has features and looks of basses costing twice as much! Mitchell did a great job with this product, and I'm so glad to play this bass.

  • Excelent product

    How much does the bass weigh? I have a LTD 6 string that weighs 19 pounds and it's just too much for playing shows 3-4 times a weekend every week.
