We’re extremely proud to unveil the new MV-4JB Plus BassTheWorld Signature – a premium instrument developed in close collaboration with Gregor Fris of the BassTheWorld YouTube channel. First teased at Guitar Summit 2025, this signature model is designed to meet the demands of modern bass players, keeping a vintage-inspired tone with contemporary playability and premium components.

The MV-4JB Plus is equipped with hand-wound Kloppmann pickups for a clear, articulate tone, Gotoh hardware for rock-solid stability and sustain, and high-quality CTS pots for precise and reliable control.

Shaped by the practical insights gained from years of reviewing and testing bass gear on BassTheWorld, this instrument reflects a deep understanding of what players truly need in real-world situations.
