JB-62CC SP : Superb For The Price

I've had lots of jazzes - USA, MEX< Squier and some of the copies and "inspired-by" basses.

I have to say, for the price, this really stands up.

It came out of teh box set up, so nothiung to do there. There were some VERY VERY slight sharp fret ends, and a couple of seconds with 1000 grit sandpaper sorted that.

The roasted maple is gorgeous, it's just under 4KG ( 8lb 13oz), so it's light.

The colour is not as it appears online. There's a slight lilac hue to it, as opposed to a flat pink or shell pink. It's not Lilac per se, but there's a tinge to it.

I've seen people talk, before they've even taken delivery of one of these, about changing pickups. Honestly, the stock Roswells are fine.

I will do a comparison video at some stage and update this review.

But for now, for €159, this is a decent instrument, and I'd recommend it highly.
