JB-40FL 3-Tone Sunburst : Love this bass!

9 years ago

I've wanted a fretless Jazz Bass for ages but could not justify spending too much money on one. This bass answered all my dreams! I played it straight out of the box and everything was almost perfect, I just had to raise the action a little to my preferred playing height, and it has been hard to put it down since. The finish is really exceptionally good, not just at this price point, but at any price point. The ash body is made of what looks like two extremely well matched pieces, the join is almost imperceptible. The wood glows beautifully through the sunburst finish. The neck is perfect, well crafted with a slim fast feel, just like a Jazz Bass should be. The hardware is also extremely good for the price, just a little bit more lightweight than my 'professional' bass, but nothing to complain of. The pickups are also exceptional at this price, providing all the classic JB sounds but at a fraction of the price of a genuine Pastorius style bass. I really recommend this bass to anyone who wants to experiment with fretless.
