Markbass MB JB Electric Bass Guitar

The MB JB electric bass from Markbass delivers versatile tone, sleek design and exceptional comfort—perfect for players of any experience level. Built with thoughtful design choices and quality components, this bass provides an expressive, articulate playing experience at an accessible price. Versatile Tone With Dual Single-Coil Pickups Outfitted with two single-coil pickups, the JB bass offers a wide tonal range, from tight and punchy low end to crisp, articulate highs. Blend both pickups to sculpt sound, whether 're chasing a gritty Jaco-inspired midrange or a clean, modern funk tone. These pickups handle everything from smooth fingerstyle to aggressive slapping with ease, making the JB an adaptable choice for any genre. Fast, Comfortable Neck for Effortless Playability The JB bass features a slim, tapered neck profile that’s fast and forgiving. It starts narrow at the nut for easy fretting and gradually widens toward the body to accommodate complex lines and fast runs. Combined with a smooth maple neck and 34" scale length, this design minimizes hand fatigue while encouraging precision, comfort and speed across the fretboard. Balanced Offset Body Design The offset body shape offers ergonomic comfort with a contoured forearm scoop and double cutaway for upper-fret access. Whether seated or standing, the body shape stays naturally balanced against torso. Lightweight and visually streamlined, it’s designed for stage-ready aesthetics and everyday functionality. Built for Performance and Value With a solid poplar body, bolt-on maple neck and chrome hardware, the JB bass is engineered for reliable performance. The classic control lat—featuring independent volume knobs for each pickup and a master tone knob—makes it easy to dial in the perfect sound on the fly. Each bass is inspected at Markbass’s Italian facility to ensure dependable build quality. A padded gig bag is included for convenience and protection.
