JB-75MN Black Vintage Series : bang for the buck over 9000

I was thinking ok, it's a sweet looking cheapo bass, if it could play ok i'd have it as a backup. boy oh boy was i suprised. this thing plays like big boys. if certain maunfacturer from USA started by an old guy called Leo F. made this bass, it would cost 4-5 times more.

Sound is amazing, pure jazz bass. punch, warmh, articulation, you get that signature sound that jazz basses are famous for.

Finish on body is pure perfection, pickguard is cheapo but ok, and hardware is much much better than most companies put on their entry level instruments, i mean pickups and hardware would if bass was made by someone else be going on mid spec bass.

and pickups, oh pickups! here come that boi wilkinson, pickups are on par with aftermarket big names. punch, warmth, definition, phatness, everything is there.

neck is great, i've set action to the level of my prestige ibanez basses. think about that. just think about that.

my only issue is with binding not being perfect visually. but you can only see that if you look close.

anyway, my ibbies will be sold, this is my no1 bass from nor on.
