Product Description

You'll love this if you're a bassist who wants a versatile bass that is filled to the brim with premium woods and sounds without breaking the bank. Chapman guitars have been making incredible electric guitars with a difference. They have been designed by you. All of the base Chapman guitars have been collaboratively designed online with a community full of guitar enthusiasts. Now you can get a bass guitar that has gone through the same process with the MLB-1.

Beautiful Woods

The MLB-1 is a gorgeous looking bass that is made from only the best quality woods around. On the MLB-1 you get a Bubinga body that has been left with its natural finish with a Maple and Bubinga 5 piece neck topped off with a Wenge fingerboard. The best part though is that this bass has a neck through design. This means that the neck goes all the way from one end of the guitar to the other. With this you get a better feel and a more resonant sound which is what you want out of a bass.

A Dream To Play

This bass doesn't just look great though it is also easy play with a crisp and clear sound. Between the neck through design, a body shape that doesn't get in your way, a 34" scale length and an 8" fingerboard radius this bass has a modern style but it won't feel out of place in the hands of more traditional bass players. This has been made to be the players bass, so anyone should be able to pick it up and play.

You can achieve nearly any bass sound you would need from the two Chapman 'Bassbucker' humbucking pickups. This bass has a warm and full sound that suits everything from single note runs to slap style playing. You can coil tap the pickups to get a more traditional J-bass like sound.

Looks great, plays great and sounds even better... or at least it will once I learn how to play.

I've had my MLB for about 8 months now, I'd been sitting on the edge of my seat throughout all of the prototype test videos, and in over 10 years of playing bass, it's easily the nicest and most diverse bass I've ever had, looks great, sounds great, feels great, and it's lighter than my other basses too, so my back is enjoying it as well, big props to Chappers, Dave, and everyone who made made this instrument possible, I look forward to seeing more Chapman basses one day!

A really versatile bass that can produce a huge variety of tones when using the coil tap. The bass looks great too, very well put together with solid hardware. Mine played perfectly out of the box but maybe I was lucky.

Epic bassy goodness!

Trusted Customer6th Jan 2015

I am one of the 100 co-designers and may be a bit prejudice. It’s an amazing bass the neck feels smooth and relatively thin. The body is small and has a killer look with the bubinga top and a gorgeous neck through construction. The gig bag has sufficient padding and is a nice accessory.

Trusted Customer6th Jan 2015

An excellent bass, lovely to play. Appears to be well made with no obvious flaws. Came almost perfectly setup; required a slight truss rod and intonation adjustment, but the supplied information sheet said that this was to be expected and provided clear instructions on how to make the changes.
