Details
In the decade since G&L began offering bassists a made-in-Fullerton jazz-style bass, the JB series has delighted players with classic Alnico tones, enhanced by more attack and sustain thanks to the Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock™ bridge. The JB-5 carries that legacy into a five-string format, pairing timeless tone with upgraded comfort and playability.
The slim, hard-rock maple neck has a satin finish with vintage tint, 9.5" radius, and a comfortable 1.775" nut width with a sleek rear profile that feels fast and effortless. Jescar 57110 medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets show only the slightest signs of play, and the neck is straight and true. This bass plays, feels, and sounds fantastic — articulate, resonant, and punchy across all five strings.Specs:
