Five-string bass
The J & D JB/5 5-String Bass Sunburst is the ideal instrument for anyone who wants to learn how to play Bass with the extended range of a low B-string. But advanced bassists looking for a backup for stage and Studio should also take a look at the five-string, which offers amazing quality at a great value. With the body in traditional Offset-Design and the pleasantly flat D-neck profile, the 5-string Bass promises top-notch playing characteristics, while Alnico single coil pickup and a traditional passive circuit provide the right tones for almost any style of music. Last but not least, a 5-saddle bridge and Open-Gear tuners complete the features of the JB/5 5-string Bass from J & D.
The J & D JB/5 5-String Bass Sunburst combines flexible sounds with the extended range of a low B-string and a premium price/performance ratio.
Comfortable playing characteristics
Based on the proven offset design, the J & D JB/5 five-string convinces you with comfortable playing characteristics, and to take the first steps on the instrument with joy and ease. While the asymmetrically designed alder body lies comfortably and balanced on the body, the flat D-profile of the bolt-on maple neck promises optimal playing characteristics from the highest to the lowest position of the 21-fret fingerboard.
Alnico Single Coil Pickups
The electrical sound conversion of the JB/5 5-String Bass is done by two J & D single coil pickups with Alnico magnets, which make the bass guitar an all-rounder for almost every musical genre. While the midrange pickup delivers a full sound with deep bass foundation and the perfect dose of transparency, the bridge pickup convinces with a mid-emphasized, assertive sound. In addition to two volume controls that allow step-less mixing of the pickup signals, the Bass provides a treble slider for adjusting the sound.
Indestructible hardware equipment
An indestructible hardware equipment completes the J & D JB/5 5-String Bass Sunburst. The 5-saddle bridge, equipped with five individually adjustable tailpieces, guarantees an optimal adjustment of intonation and string action, while traditional open-gear tuners on the headstock promise precise tuning with high stability.
