JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : 2 years old

5 years ago

Its just over two years since i purchased this bass.

It was my first bass so i didnt want to invest to much incase it wasnt 'right' for me.

I was amazed at the quality of it when it came out of the box, it has a lovely warm vintage j bass sound and has plenty of adjustment to tget the tone you want.

I still have the orginal strings on it ( i did change them, but put them back on as i thought the sound got too bright for me) it does need adjustment to the action quite a bit as it moves with the weather but that seems normal. I have a 1989 mexican fender telecaster that needs more attention than this.

I've tried a few other makes (fender, ibanez, yamaha) and types of bass but this holds it own and I really enjoy playing it. Maybe I just cant get over my first one :)

Its still looks as good today as when it came out of the box and to me sounds even better.

I will purchase a Squire P bass soon just to have both options, but as a first basss that you will want to keep around I would really recommend this one.
