The M2 5 TBL 2nd Gen is a seriously impressive bass for the money. The mahogany body and Marcus Blue pickups give it a rich, warm voice with plenty of growl, while the Heritage-3 electronics let you dial in a wide range of tones. It's an excellent choice for players seeking a versatile, well-built 5-string without the premium price tag.
