Burns SJB Short-Scale Jazz Six Bass Guitar in Green Burst

Burns London, the historic UK guitar brand, offers quirky '60s-inspired instruments that really stand out from the crowd! Their SJB Six Bass harks back to the original 1962 'Jazz Guitar' series, utilising a comfortable 30" short-scale design and boasting a heavy set of mid-bass 18-85 gauge strings — to deliver that authentic '60s bellowing, baritone instrumental sound. Oozing with retro charm, this unique instrument provides the reliable and reassuring build quality that you'd expect from a modern-day guitar — making it the perfect example of old meets new!

The SJB Six Bass comes equipped with a trio of Burns' legendary 'Tri-Sonic' pickups with 5-way switching, and also sports a responsive tremolo unit that makes it a joy to embellish your playing with smooth vibrato — whenever inspiration strikes!

Key Features

• Okoume Body — A popular timber often likened to Mahogany for its warm and sustain-rich sound, giving the SJB Six Bass fantastic sonic depth.
• Maple Neck — A high-quality wood that's strong and bright in tone.
• Bolt-On Construction — Gives the instrument a "snappy" sound and response, so you'll always feel musically-connected when you strum a chord or pick a note!
• 30" Scale Length — A hybrid scale often used for short-scale basses, giving the SJB enough string tension for stable tuning while allowing for expressive playability.
• Burns Tri-Sonic Pickups — Iconic single-coils adored for their bright chimey overtones and punchy, barking mid-range. They're synonymous with Queen's Brian May!
• Push/Pull Function — Pull the second tone control up to engage the neck pickup with any position on the 5-way pickup selector switch. This means that you can get a T-style tone if you select the bridge pickup position with the push/pull activated, or you can even use all 3 pickups together in switch position 4. This gives you a total of 7 different sounds!
• Burns Tremolo — This "jazz" inspired tremolo system allows you to tastefully add vibrato to a ringing chord or note.
