JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : You get what you pay for...

8 years ago

Actually, in this case, you even get a bit more than what you pay for. I will start off by saying that this bass plays really well, holds tune great, and that there is no way that you can get anything better, or even as close to this for this amount of money.

BUT, you should be aware that this is not an expensive bass, and therefore it's far from perfect. When it arrived, it had a small ground problem, so it would get a bit noisy if you completely take your hands off it. That wasn't a huge deal for me since I am a DIY kind of guy, so I fixed it myself.

I also wanted to take pickguard off because I like how that looks, Jaco Pastorius style. First, I had trouble taking it off because it was cut poorly around neck joint and it dig into the neck a bit. After I managed to take it off, I saw that neck pickup cavity was really huge and it didn't look pretty, so I just put the pickguard back.

Overall, I really like it even if it had these small imperfections and I would definitely recommend it.
