4-string electric bass with MM-style humbuckers and active electronics

At the bass amp, the fat MM-style humbucker of the J & D 200 MM goes all out and provides a rich sound that makes the hair blow and punches you in the face. The active 3-band tone control, unique in this price range, allows precise adjustment of the timbre. A solid vintage-style bass bridge with barrel tailpieces for the exact adjustment of intonation and string action, as well as encapsulated die-cast tuners complete the 200 MM Trans Black from J & D.

The only notable downside about the bass is the fretboard and frets which could have been done better, otherwise it's a good bass for the price. You can get some good sound out of it with that 3-band EQ and the overall feel when you play standing or sitting is comfortable. Perfect entry-level bass.
This guitar is great for a beginner and maybe mid-range bass guitarists. It has a smooth, really good solid ash body. Price - performance ratio is quite high...
