Our Opinion
The MDM1605 is particularly appealing for bassists looking for a modern, comfortable five-string with extensive sound control. The Hexa Mid system is one of its main advantages, allowing for more precise midrange adjustments and making it easier to find space in the mix for both defined, aggressive sounds and rounder registers.
It’s also a very versatile choice for modern techniques: its 24 frets, easy access to high registers, removable finger ramp, and adjustable bridge spacing allow it to be tailored to each player's style. A solid option for those seeking professional versatility without resorting to boutique-level instruments.
