Description

The EastCoast MSB Left Handed Short Scale Bass in Daphne Blue is a compact, beginner friendly instrument that makes learning bass feel instantly comfortable. Inspired by classic offset designs from the 60s and 70s, it pairs a short 30 inch scale length with a resonant Poplar body, Rosewood fingerboard and a punchy split single coil pickup, giving left handed players an easy playing, great sounding bass at a wallet friendly price. Whether you are picking up bass for the first time, moving over from guitar, or simply want a fun, fast playing instrument for home and stage, the MSB keeps things simple and musical. Its offset body balances beautifully on a strap, the neck feels instantly familiar, and the classic Daphne Blue finish and pearloid pickguard give it a cool, retro look that fits right in with indie, pop and punk bands. Short Scale Comfort For Left Handed Players The MSB uses a 762 mm (30 inch) scale length, making stretches between frets noticeably easier than on a full scale bass. This is ideal for younger players, those with smaller hands, or guitarists moving to bass, as it reduces fatigue and helps you build confidence quickly. As a dedicated left handed model, everything feels natural from the moment you pick it up. Classic Offset Style In Daphne Blue With its curvy offset body shape, glossy Daphne Blue finish and 3 ply pearloid pickguard, the MSB channels the vibe of vintage short scale basses that have become a favourite in modern indie and pop. The contoured Poplar body sits comfortably whether you are standing or seated, so you can focus on your playing rather than fighting the instrument. Punchy Split Single Coil Tone A single split single coil pickup delivers a wide sonic palette, from deep, rounded lows to punchy, articulate riffs that cut through a band mix. Simple volume and tone controls let you quickly dial in everything from warm, soulful thump to brighter, more aggressive sounds for rock and punk, without overwhelming beginners with complex electronics. Reliable Hardware And Playable Neck The selected Canadian Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, stable playing surface, while nickel frets and a synthetic bone nut help notes ring clearly. Open gear tuners and a chrome 4 saddle bridge work together for solid tuning stability, so you can practise or perform for longer without constant retuning.
