JB-62CC OW : Hard to fault as a first bass

2 years ago

Bought this as my first bass because I wanted something inexpensive but not rubbish.

And I'm not disappointed. Little bit neck heavy maybe, and certainly needed the action lowering a bit to be able to play slap but otherwise can't fault it. Feels well made, no fret buzz, pickups sound good enough and put through a cheap Caline pre-amp are really quite punchy. Copper shielding won't do it any harm but it's not urgent.

Anyone wanting a good beginner Jazz Bass should look at this; I had a good hour with a mate's Squier JB and it absolutely wasn't any better despite costing twice as much.
