JB-62CC DR : Fantastic value, quality jazz bass for beginners

I’m a 48 year old beginner, been playing bass a couple of years now but only started having regular lessons about 6 months ago and wish I’d started 30 years ago. Until now been playing man Ibanez GSR200 but recently started more funk bass lines and so looked to get a Jazz bass but didn’t want to pay too much. Bought this bass on the spur of the moment and must admit I’m blown away by it. Build quality seems solid and it sounded great straight out of the box so I took it to my lesson a few hours after unboxing, expecting my tutor to dismiss it, but he could not believe how good it sounded “almost indistinguishable from something closer to £1000”. He did lower the top pickup a little to stop it catching the E-string, but other than that he said it was great. Even better, I found it much easier to play some of the slap and pops I had been struggling with, so it gave me confidence. Only had it less than a week, but so far I’m a very impressed and happy customer
