JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : Nice bass for the price

This weekend I received my JB-75NA. I wanted to get back to playing bass and this seemed to be a good way to start. I have never liked the big necks on P-bass style guitars, so naturally I decided to go with a J-bass style. Shipping was fast, and I had the bass to me in a week (Germany to California). The fit and finish of the bass overall is very good. The only cosmetic issue I found is a chip on the back of the headstock. The packaging wasn't damaged, so it must have been a blemish from the factory. Since its on the back, I can live with it. Aside from that, everything else looks great. The ash has a nice grain to it, and the poly finish doesn't seem to be too thick. I like that they went with a satin finish for the neck, it makes it feel very smooth. The frets appear to be level and there are no sharp ends. Sound wise, its about what you would expect from a J-bass. The pickups sound good to me, I have no intention of replacing them. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive bass that plays well.
