2000 Korean made 4 string acoustic bass. There is a piezo pickup with an on-board 4-band EQ. The top is Ash, with Mahogany back and sides. Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, Abalone body and soundhole. The Gotho style tunes are gold-plated. Mine came with the hardshell case.

The JB Player was a real surprise to me. It sounded fine unplugged. Not the loudest acoustic bass guitar, but a very good sounding one. Plugged in this this is a tone monster! What a wonderful rich sound. This is the real bueaty of this bass. JB Player should market these things for stage acoustics. Tht sound beats acoustic bass guitars that are 3 or 4 times the price. It really is that good.
Action, Fit, & Finish

This bass arrived set up and ready to play. Intonation and string height were dead on. There were no finish flaws. The top is Ash and the finish is a hand rubbed black - very distinctive. For the price this bass is a sleeper.

I have played live without a backup. This bass is just that reliable. Like I said on stage this thing is a monster. It also has a very well constructed feel about it. I really don't know how to desctibe the feel, it just feels dependable.

I've been playing for 20 years. My other bass is my trusty Fender Jazz - that I wouldn't trade for anything! I play through a Crate 200 watt head into a Crate 15" cabinet - what a great bang for the buck, especially the bass gear.
If this bass were lost or stolen id definitly buy another.
