JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : Best bang-for-buck bass out there

5 years ago

After being a guitar player for 14 years this is the bass that has possibly converted me. I am unbelievably impressed by it, the reviews on youtube do not lie to you at all.

Very easy to play neck as a guitarist, I've adjusted the truss rod and bridge a fair bit and everything adjusts properly and with a quality-feel to it.

The tone died off about 4 months after I bought it as I played it to death, I was contemplating getting new pickups but after restringing it, it's alive again! Instead of upgrading to another bass, I will just change the pickups in this one when the time comes. If I still love it as much then I may upgrade to a hipshot bridge too because the body, neck, electronics and hardware on this model are exceptional.

Cheap bass that sounds and plays as if it were 3x more expensive, definitely worth upgrading the pickups at some point but again, they are exceptional at this price point and I expect the overall quality of this bass will be raised substantially by new pickups. You will not be disappointed.
