JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : Punches above its weight

I'm mainly a guitarist but brought this for home recording to replace an old broken Squier P-Bass. I was blown away by how good it is, especially considering the price. It completely outshines the Squier.

The body is made up of three pieces, and on mine the grain is well matched. The rest of the finish is flawless as well.

It arrived well set up out of the box, with zero fret issues and low action. It's one of the most comfortable basses I've played (admittedly I've never touched any high end basses but they were all more expensive than this).

The Roswell pickups sound great. A little more mellow than I was expecting but I think this is more due to pickup height (Around 4mm when fretting the last fret). I haven't been bothered by this enough to try adjusting them yet.

The tuners feel a little stiffer than I'm comfortable with but hold tune without issue and are perfectly up to the job.

Weight-wise it's only slightly heavier than the bass it replaced but not to the point where I'd consider it an issue.

In conclusion, this is a seriously good bass. When switching from my guitars to this I never feel like I'm picking up something nearly £400 cheaper
