This limited edition Larrivee takes their D-40 model and adds a European Spruce top, Ovangkol back and sides, Leaf & Flower headstock inlay, and multi-strip side binding to produce an instrument that's gorgeous in looks and sound. The warm, balanced resonance of a Scalloped Hybrid-braced European Spruce top and solid Ovangkol back and sides pairs beautifully. With low, even action across a silky maple-bound ebony fingerboard and a familiar 1 3/4" nut; it's no wonder why Larrivee's D-40 Legacy Series has become one of the most popular instruments they offer. It is ideal for studio stables, steady performing, or casual living room sessions alike. This Limited Run take on a Larrivee classic features top-tier tone woods selected by Jean Larrivee, and comes with a fitted Larrivee hard case.

The JB•2’s classic Alnico V pickups have tone reminiscent of the best examples from the early ‘60s, thanks to the work of Paul Gagon, G&L VP Engineering. Gagon found his inspiration reviewing original prints stored in Leo Fender’s private laboratory at G&L, but that was just the start. About 30 years ago, Gagon was an R&D; engineer at another company when he was tasked with finding out what was so special about the early bolt-on basses many players raved about. Gagon tirelessly analyzed many examples of what were considered holy grail basses, spending time out on the shop floor talking to builders still working in the pickup department since the ‘50s, all on a quest to discover where the real mojo was – and wasn’t. What he learned from the builders matched his own engineering analysis. You see, back in the day, the actual spec of pickups coming down that old production line varied considerably. That meant coming up with the right specs was more challenging than simply following the prints, and Gagon’s persistence paid off as the JB-2 serves up delicious, classic tone. While the pickups are the origin of the tone, the JB•2 will surprise you with a clarity and sustain unmatched by old basses with their rudimentary bridge design. You see, the JB•2 features an innovative G&L Saddle-Lock™ bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. If you’re ready to let go of the past but still love that classic Alnico tone, get your hands on a JB•2 and experience a brilliant mash-up of old-school and new-school Leo.
