Description
It's no secret that Japanese-made instruments have a reputation for their exceptional quality. This FGN Neo Classic JB5 carries on that tradition of top-notch craftsmanship, and it's an absolutely killer bass. Crafted with classic tonewoods and fit with a pair of chiming single-coil pickups, the Neo Classic JB5 delivers those coveted scooped Jazz bass-style sounds with tight, thumpin' lows and clear, articulate highs. And if you need a little extra tonal versatility, this bass comes equipped with an active/passive push/pull pot and a 3-band EQ for maximum tone-shaping. If you're a Jazz bass player looking for a well-built workhorse to add to your arsenal, look no further than this FGN Neo Classic JB5.
Cosmetic Condition: This bass is in excellent condition and shows minimal signs of use. There are no noticeable dings or scratches, and the hardware is nice and shiny.
Neck: Bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard and white dot inlays. All 21 frets are in great shape with no wear, the neck is straight, and the truss rod functions as it should. With a 17.5mm string spacing at the bridge, this bass is in the sweet spot for all techniques - it's tight enough for dexterous fingerstyle and picking, but leaves room for tapping and slapping.
Body: An alder body gives this bass a rich voice with tight lows, a pronounced midrange, and plenty of attack and sustain. Its gloss black finish and tortoiseshell pickguard give it a timeless aesthetic, making it great for players who love classic designs. Weighs 11 lbs. 6.8 oz.
Electronics: The JB5 has an extensive array of tones to choose from. If you love tone-sculpting and fine-tuning to achieve the sound of your dreams, then you'll love toying with the JB5's powerful 3-band EQ. If you prefer to just 'set it and forget it,' pull up on the master volume knob, and you'll engage the JB5's passive circuit. All electronics are fully functional, and the batteries have just been replaced.
