The JZ Bass
Subtly radical - It's our take on the popular Jazz* bass recipe. It's tough to improve on the venerable J bass, but the result is a much more versatile, comfortable and playable bass. It features:
-
a shorter 32 inch fretboard for increased speed and playabilty and ZERO neck dive.
-
John East 3 band active boost and cut electronics with sweepable mid controls let you dial your bass into any room or setting.
-
M&V Atlas P style and Supertone J style pickups in the P and J bass locations yield all the classic sounds plus a lot more.
-
slim shallow C asymmetric neck profile and 1.5 inch nut on the five string version is super comfortable.
Although all M&V products are essentially custom instruments, our basic recipe usually includes:
-
Individually selected quarter sawn one piece maple neck.
-
One piece premium quality alder body.
-
Hand-cut unbleached Bison bone nut.
-
Hipshot Ultralight tuners.
-
M&V Atlas & Supertone J wide range pickup set.
-

Ultra thin lacquer finish.

Oversize strap buttons.

Choice of fretboard and inlay materials.
