Description
The LTD M-4 Black Metal Black Satin is part of the Black Metal Series Basses. The LTD Black Metal Series is comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe “1000 Series” instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock. The M-4 Black Metal marks the return of the M design to our bass offerings, with its neck-thru construction, slab body, speedy maple neck, and pointed inline headstock. This 35” scale bass features a single direct-mount EMG 35CS pickup with special black logo, a pickup that combines ceramic magnets and steel poles for warmth and punch with a smooth top end and plenty of output. The M-4 Black Metal also features Grover tuners, a Gotoh 201B-4 bridge, and stainless steel frets.
EMG 35CS:
The EMG 35CS is a big sounding modern humbucker for players looking to tame the higher frequencies in their bass tone. The two coils loaded with ceramic and steel magnets provides warmth and punch with a smooth top end and plenty of output. EMG’s quiet preamp makes this big sounding pickup quiet when it’s not being played.
