The Eko JB300-5 is a 5-string electric bass with the vintage jazz lines that have marked every generation of bassists since the 1950s. With its passive electronics consisting of 2 single J-type pickups and its 21-fret maple neck, the JB300-5 offers a very affordable and versatile option for discovering the 5-string bass with very good value for money.
The timeless offset silhouette that inspired the design of the JB300-5 needs no introduction: the characteristic double cutaway for excellent access to the last fret, combined with two single pickups and a 5-bridge bridge/tailpiece block, and its vintage aged-look pickguard. This classic configuration has been adopted by Italian manufacturer Eko to make the JB300-5 an attractive and versatile 5-string electric bass for beginner bassists wanting to discover B-string playing!
Despite its very affordable price, the JB300-5's craftsmanship has been carefully designed to offer bassists new to the instrument an attractive, well-finished bass. The body, crafted from poplar for strength, is highlighted by a gloss varnish. The sturdy, comfortable 4-point screwed maple neck is topped by an laurel fingerboard, bringing stability and warmth.
As for the electronics, the JB300-5 is equipped with 2 J-type single-coil pickups with their familiar layout, much appreciated for their snap, midrange and versatility. Very much at home on warm, clear sounds, they can also be very biting and percussive when combined with powerful distortion. To extend the sonic possibilities, a volume control for each pickup and a general tone control enable you to mix the characters of the different pickups and adjust their more or less brilliant timbre. The bridge/tailpiece block incorporates independently adjustable saddles to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string and ensure effective sustain.
Affordable, versatile and aesthetically pleasing, with its timeless retro silhouette and high-gloss finish, the JB300-5 is the ideal instrument for starting out on the 5-string electric bass with pleasure, without breaking the bank.
