Originally planned to keep this bass longer, but things have changed. I am currently using it to record a product review where I have swapped out the pickups. When complete all the electronics will be returned to stock and the bass will be up for sale.
Unfortunately the bass does have an issue which affects the price and therefore I am selling it more as parts than an “as new” example - despite it being in otherwise incredible condition. The truss rod is and has always been stuck. Thankfully, if you like a pretty flat neck, that’s where it is right now.
Highlights: Roasted Neck, Nordstrand Pickups, Luminlay, Hipshot Tuners, Babicz FCH Bridge, Markbass preamp, ULTRA light bass, Bone nut, 22 Frets
A great bass has just the right blend of timeless design and modernized features. The GB Modern bass is developed for the J-Bass enthusiasts with a surprisingly lightweight design for greater comfort and enhanced playability while reducing fatigue. Also featured are top tier visual and spec enhancements such as roasted maple neck and fretboard, Hipshot® Ultralite Tuners and Babicz® FCH4 Bridge to reduce the weight even further, and an ultimate tone combination of Nordstrand® Big Single Pickup Set paired with MarkBass® MB Instrument Pre preamp system.
