A bass that blends vintage vibe with modern playability.

The G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB electric bass guitar brings together the best of classic design with thoughtful modern enhancements. Crafted in California, this bass offers the refined style, rich tone and easy playability that discerning bassists desire. Its slim, hard rock maple neck has a comfortable 9.5" radius and Jescar medium-jumbo frets for silky smooth playing. The Fullerton Deluxe JB features Alnico single-coil pickups that artfully blend vintage sparkle with contemporary punch. This bass projects a timeless vibe while embracing subtle upgrades.

With Classic Tonewoods and Pickups

The Fullerton Deluxe JB bass starts with the acclaimed blend of an alder body and maple neck. This combination produces balanced, well-rounded tone with clear, rich lows, present mids and articulate highs. It's equipped with a pair of alnico single-coil pickups, prized for their singing, organic voice. Together, these premium components capture the cherished vintage personality players have long admired.

With a Slim Maple Neck for Effortless Playing

The slim, fast hard rock maple neck has a smooth vintage gloss finish for speedy riffing and soloing. The comfortable 9.5" radius and Jescar medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets make the neck feel familiar and facilitate clean fretting and bends. The silky satin feel invites your hands to fly up and down the neck. A stylish block inlay at the 12th fret provides an elegant visual accent.

With Alnico Pickups Blending Vintage Sparkle and Modern Punch

The Alnico single-coil pickups artfully blend vintage tone with contemporary power and clarity. There's plenty of crisp snap and articulate note separation, along with round, musical lows and singing highs. From growling rock to melodic jazz, this bass covers diverse genres with ease. The balance of glassy brightness and full low-end delivers studio-worthy recorded tones.

With a Saddle-Lock Bridge for Incredible Resonance

An innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge transfers string energy right into the bass's alder body for extraordinary resonance you can hear and feel. The Saddle-Lock optimizes vibration transfer and harmonic overtones, allowing notes to ring out with remarkable clarity and sustain. Whether fingerstyle or with a pick, your playing will benefit from the vibrant, singing tone.
