JB-40FL 3-Tone Sunburst : A good Jaco replica

4 years ago

I bought this bass because I wanted the Jaco tone for a cheap price. It delivers, but there is one peeve of mine with it: the neck is pretty thick. It's not unplayable - I still enjoy the bass - but it feels like it belongs on a P bass and not a J bass. I would have also appreciated it if the guitar had a lacquered fretboard like Jaco's, but that would be a bit much to expect at this price point. It sounds fine, although when slapping its tone goes out the window and it becomes sound rather than music. For what I bought it for, it works.
