This bass features the unique JLC Guitars “Played-In” finish process. We recreate minor player-inspired finish wear marks to enhance the feel without trashing the instrument like other relic finishes aim at. That gives the sense of a well-played and well-cared-for instrument without sacrificing aesthetic purity. This finish is purely cosmetic and does not affect playability or tone.
