MALIBU B4
"The Malibu bass is simply a great
combination of classic design and modern
playability and sound.
This is an amazing instrument that I am sure can
bring together with a smile : vintage instruments
lovers and boutique aficionados !!!
It looks like it’s 1960 again and it feels
and sound like it’s 2010.
It feels solid and sturdy, every note is
perfectly balanced and its playability is almost
ridiculous, what more could you ask from a bass?
That it plays by itself ?....well, with this one,
we’re almost there!"
Fabrizio Grossi, L.A. musician and producer.

One
of the feature that sports the Manne production
is the neck/body jointer, a system that allow the
neck to be installed very near the body edge
without the need of a heel, giving a great access
and a solid connection. We applied this system with the
result of a unique upper frets access up to the
24 fret. Manne quality neck provide fast and
precise playability, commonly considered one of
the best necks on the markets.
