The Mode series takes an iconic bass silhouette and refines it for the demands of modern players. Comfortable body contours, clean lines and a low gloss finish give the MDM1606 a contemporary feel without losing its familiar identity. It’s designed to feel instantly playable while still offering the flexibility and control needed for a wide range of musical styles, from traditional groove-focused playing to more progressive and technical approaches. The balance between heritage influence and modern refinement makes it equally at home on stage, in the studio or in rehearsal rooms.
The roasted maple neck is heat treated to improve stability, durability and resistance to humidity and temperature changes, making it a dependable choice for touring and long sessions. Graphite reinforcement rods further enhance strength and sustain, helping the neck remain consistent over time. Medium stainless steel frets offer a smooth, fast playing feel while standing up well to heavy use. Paired with a rosewood fretboard, the result is a balanced tonal response with a focused midrange and comfortable feel across the entire neck.
Delta S6J pickups deliver a clear high-end attack, punchy mids and a tight, authoritative low end that translates well through a wide range of amps, pedals and recording setups. The Sonitech S preamp provides extensive tone shaping via a 3-band EQ, passive tone control and selectable mid frequencies using the Hexa Mid system. With six midrange points available, it’s easy to dial in anything from classic warmth to modern bite. An EQ bypass switch lets you switch instantly between active flexibility and a more direct, organic signal.
Lightweight Aero-light machine heads help maintain excellent overall balance, reducing shoulder fatigue during long rehearsals or extended sets. The MR5S bridge offers adjustable string spacing, allowing you to fine-tune the feel to suit your playing style. Luminescent side dots improve visibility on dark stages, while the Super All Access Neck Joint makes upper fret work easier and more comfortable. Supplied with a fitted gig bag, the MDM1606 is ready for rehearsals, sessions and live performance straight out of the box.
