I ordered the JB-75 as I needed a quick replacement for my main bass which broke, and I wanted to try out a 5 string J style bass. I did not expect much, but now I see this JB-75 quickly becoming my go-to bass. The construction quality and overall looks are impeccable, but it's the sound and feel that brought joy to my playing that I've last felt many years ago. It's super versatile, the pickups are nice and growly when they need to be, with no hum. Since this is my first 5 string I really appreciate the narrow nut and surprisingly, the neck feels much more comfortable than the other 4 string basses in my collection (I really enjoy the tighter string spacing for more technical playing). All in all, this might be the best bass purchase I ever made. The only downside is that it's quite heavy (5.3 kg in my case), but since I play mostly sitting down, it's no issue. Also, the balance is quite good, so with a nice padded strap, it should be OK for rehearsals or gigs. Highly recommended!
