JB-40FL 3-Tone Sunburst : Amazing instrument

I want to use this bass in gospel band.

From my first impressions that is what i was searching for.

My bass has body from three pieces (hard to find the wood crossing), well build - nice sunburst and lacquer.

There are only some minor imprefections on fingerboard (not influence the sound or playability) , but for this price are absolutely acceptable. Neck sits perfectly in my hands, little thicker than my Squier JB, but well well playable.

Sound of pickups (whole instrument) is on my ears midrange "saucy". Little hum when one of pickups is preffered, yes thats normal single coil phenomenon. Tunners OK, bridge plate is more robust than Squier. Pots knobs are cheap, but thats no problem to change it for several bucks.

Tone control works nice.

I have no real cons.

Amazing and inspirative instrument for this price.

Forget on DIY defretting some old bass but buy this one.
