  • Chambered maple body for warm resonance and reduced weight

  • Purpleheart control knobs and headstock inlay for a refined boutique finish

  • Vintage-style J pickups with Alnico 5 magnets for classic punch and clarity

  • High-mass bridge for enhanced sustain and tuning stability

  • Balanced feel and lightweight build – just 7 lbs. 5 oz.

Special Sale Note:

This bass is sale priced due to a few minor cosmetic blemishes on the back. These include:

  • Two small areas of clear-coat variance

  • Two light sand-through spots, one near the control plate and one at the neck pocket

These blemishes are purely cosmetic and do not affect playability or tone. Photos and more info available upon request—feel free to contact me directly.

Each JLC instrument is hand-carved with care and attention to detail. Thank you for considering JLC Guitars, where every instrument tells a story built from craftsmanship, character, and tone.
