JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : a no brainer for the money

3 years ago

I'm a guitarist who wanted to have a bass for recording. this instrument is great for that. obviously nothing exceptional about it but overall it's really good. if you want to be picky there are 3 things I noticed:

1. electronics are rather average to put it nicely - I mean it works fine, but it's not like my Lollar loaded guitars, and let's face it, rarely any guitar has a world class electronics these days. it does the job in my opinion

2. frets needed some love to be "pro" level - I left it with my luthier for set up and he did them and it shows, although it wasn't terrible or anything out of the box

3. my friends who are actual bass players said I could swap bridge for something better but this one isn't bad as well

4. it's really heavy - I think it does it good in terms of sound but I can't see myself standing with it for 2 hours or something

overall I'm really happy with the purchase, it's not a luxurious guitar but it's nice, looks great, does the job and I have no complaints whatsoever. highly recommended
