JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : Amazing bass for the money

I play guitar and write tv soundtracks and was just looking for a cheap bass to noodle around on for writing. But the JB-75 MN bass exceeded my expectations on all counts. The wood is beautiful, the frets were clean (no sharp edges!) and the intonation was perfect right out of the box. Open strings and harmonics at the 12th fret were dead on with my tuner. No adjustment necessary. And it's such a pleasure to play. It totally brought out my inner Larry Graham! It's incredible that you can get an instrument of this quality for the money. The UPS customs clearance was no big deal either. $11 Cdn extra for brokerage, delivered to my door. The only problem with instruments this good at this price point is that it's very hard not to keep wanting to add to your collection. Absolutely would recommend.
