The Schecter Michael Anthony MA-4 is a four-string signature bass built for Van Halen and Chickenfoot bassist Michael Anthony. It pairs a swamp ash body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard, and uses Schecter's Diamond pickups with an active preamp for a punchy, flexible tone. It suits rock and hard rock players who want a full, aggressive sound and a familiar P/J-style layout. Against a Fender Precision or Jazz Bass it offers more onboard tone shaping and a hotter output, while purists may prefer the simpler passive classics.

Owners of the MA-4 generally praise its punchy active tone, comfortable neck and build quality for the money. Many compare it favorably to passive basses in its class for versatility. Some note the active preamp colors the sound and that the bass is on the heavier side.
