danweb22 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Bought a black one too last week from guitarguitar, awesome bass! There should be a black pickguard in the gig bag if you fancy changing it 👍🏻 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I have a blue one which is perfect, but the pic above makes me want a black one as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueno Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Can’t believe the black guard makes so much difference… never fancied the black jmj… up until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a p bass but with more bottom. I changed the strings to rounds as I didn’t like the fender stock flats (they are too long anyway as they are actually long scale strings) but I also have some La Bellas on order from Bass Direct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue JMJ look fantastic, but the aged black had an undeniable vibe, especially as pictured above with that pickguard. I really like Fender flats too, that they come with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Great bass, definitely future classics these. I’d love a black one to go with the blue but swimbo would kill me if I went back up to 3 Mustangs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm sure you're going to love it. My JMJ is the first bass I bought since the 80s where I didn't immediately change the strings. In fact I bought a couple of sets of the same Fender 9050L stainless flats to put one on my CIJ mustang and have another to keep as a spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a lefty I've always had an aversion to black and sunburst basses and guitars as it's often the only colour option we're given. But I'm gradually turning around, and have actually come to love the classic look of black on black on Fender style instruments. It just looks so classy and understated! That JMJ looks lovely with the black guard on 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they make a set specifically for the string through mustang bass (more flexible ball end to stop the strings from breaking because of the angle over the saddles) The 760F-MUS are the ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 DHL don't have the resources to deliver today (really? I mean REALLY?) it's in an overflow site, not the depot, no one is answering the phone so I can't even go and collect it It's scheduled for a Monday delivery now. The phone operator was helpful though, says they're going to keep trying and let me know We'll see 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The JMJ is a wonderful bass. The neck feels great as in chunky p bass but with reduced dimensions- super comfy. The tone is basically like a p bass and I too quickly became a fan of the stock flats. I do love my TI jazz flats but the Fender’s work really well. I’m interested to try the Mustang ones by LaBella but honestly the Fenders do a great job. Stick some round wounds on for a more gnarly tone. There’s something about the JMJ and the black model is just as vibey as the Daphne blue. Would have looked great on his NIN’s gigs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Looks a great bass, if I was @police squad I think I would have started a hate campaign against DHL by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I had issues with the delivery of mine by DHL. However, I think this was more down to the retailer cocking up the address and claiming next day delivery when it was clearly not possible. Subsequent deliveries by DHL have been fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
