Home / Instruments / Mach II
The short-scale bass Darryl grew up on, rebuilt.
Inspired by the instrument Darryl played as a Chicago kid.
The Mach II is a single-pickup short-scale bass. Short scales have grown far past their student-model reputation. Players value them for a punchy, resonant sound that suits a lot of music.
This one is inspired by the bass Darryl played growing up in Chicago, brought up to the standard of the rest of the line.
Every Mach II starts as a Professional and can be built up. Prices are starting points; your final quote depends on the options you choose.
