Product Description

The J-style bass is a staple design that doesn’t need drastic changes. And that’s why Leo Fender’s G&L have kept it simple and refined. 

They’ve packed the JB with all the features you’d expect of a classic instrument, plus the added innovations of one of the best luthiers in history.

Hardware

The Tribute line of basses house great features usually found on G&L’s Californian-made series. It’s equipped with their in-house Saddle-Lock bridge design transferring more resonance into the body for a greater playing experience. 

While 21 medium-jumbo nickel frets deliver high-end smoothness for great playability. At the headstock are stylish vintage open back tuning heads, one of the many design decisions that heave made this bass so iconic.

Sound

G&L-designed alnico single coil pickups provide the classic growl pulled straight out the '60s. Everyone knows and loves the contemporary sound of J-style basses. It has a smooth low end and produces a pronounced midrange and rounded highs. 

There are two tone controls and one volume so there’s plenty of variation to work with. Roll off on the tone knobs to get a '50s or '60s vibe. Crank it and the you’ll have a startlingly punchy sound. 

Body and neck

The JB sports a light and balanced Swamp Ash body in a natural finish. The neck is made of a crisp, bright hard-rock Maple, with a medium C shape for something meaty to hold onto. It’s topped with a beautiful Brazilian Cherry fretboard.

Trusted Customer6th Nov 2019

Bought as a surprise gift for my partner after quite a bit of delving into bass guitars. Although given a graceful option to swap for another model should he wish to, he has no intention of doing so. He comments - 'it was instantly comfortable to play and naturally very resonant with the pick-ups enhancing the resonance well. Sounds quite bright, so fitted flat wounds for a more mellow sound. Well engineered and looks great'. Can't comment on durability yet....
