JB 61 (single pickup)

The JB 61 Set represents the early years of the Jazz Bass. It delivers a full-voiced grumble and a fat, low midrange tone which has enthused its fans in the diverse musical genres: Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ladi Geisler (Bert Kaempfert Orchester with the slapping bass tone from a Twin Reverb using a felt plectrum) or the unbelievably masterful Jaco Pastorius. Furthermore, Jazz Bass icons: the 16-year-old Boots Collins, who played with James Brown and others who provided driving musical foundations for legendary bands are of course, Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin).

incl. mounting screws, mounting tubes, enough cloth-wire cable for the internal wiring and a suitable capacitor for the tone pot.

Note: Potentiometers and Capacitors affect your tone greatly. Most companies ship guitars without measuring these parts, so it's always a "hit and miss" story. Therefore, for best results, we recommend you to add to your order our premium DIY/Prewired harness kit or checked and measured potentiometers listed below.
