JB-75MN NA Vintage Series : Great for beginers, but not only

Well, let me start by saying that judging this instrument only by the price is just plain wrong.

This is a standard JB type of bass, the body material is ash (heavy ash), neck is maple.

When the bass arrived in my hands, although for minor setup, the instrument was ready to go. The hardware is really ok, the pickups are good. There were minor flaws in the instruments finish (thicker lacquer on the body's neck pocket side), although in this class of instrument they were insignificant.

The bass was bought as a modification platform, therefore some hardware was changed. From the playability side these modifications were not needed.

What is the most important feature of this instrument is the sound. The sound is focused, the notes have definition. The instrument has a lot of punch.

The fretwork was ok, action set 2,5 mm at the last fret. No need for dressing out of the box
