Alpher Mako
Currently out of stock but available as a custom order.
Custom-build for MBL based on Alphers generic ‘Mako’ (a shark) body shape. It’s hard to believe that Chris and Alex have, as of Nov ’13 built only a handful of instruments (this is s/n 007!!!!) such is the build quality and design expertise on offer.
Offers a wide range of tonal options in active or passive mode. Big, articulate tones delivered with bell-like clarity and great sustain.
If your’e looking for a top notch, high -end bass and don’t want to ‘run with the crowd’… look no further!
