Classic old-school Alnico tone with new-school G&L innovations.
The G&L Tribute Series JB-2 electric bass guitar is all about refinement—blending Alnico single-coil tone with modern Leo Fender improvements. Its sound is reminiscent of classic early ’60s tone, with additional clarity and sustain unmatched by older basses. The JB-2 features an innovative G&L Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. Additional appointments include a medium “C”-shaped hard-rock maple neck, maple fretboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and traditional open-back tuners.
