Rikki_Sixx Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 That's rad, even with that strange extra string A seriously good looking bass, proper monsterous! I might have missed it elsewhere but what's the fretboard? It looks black as night, very cool. Quote

NancyJohnson Posted December 28, 2017 Author Posted December 28, 2017 Well, it arrived a couple of hours ago. It is a thing of beauty...neck profile is great (I have no idea of the radius), very shallow/flat. It was set up pretty much how I like it straight out of the case, nice low action, a bit rattly but not unplayable. It sounds fantastic, but my fantastic would be another person's meh I suppose; I had about fifteen minutes at volume while the wife was out, but then work intervened. I've done a side-by-side with the JAXT4 for comparison. Just as an aside, I love the knobs on the new one, I'm going to hit up Lull for a set of three for the JAX. More later. 3 Quote

fretmeister Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 That’s impressive for such a big instrument. Still far too much for my back, but still impressive. Quote
NancyJohnson Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 I've used a black oil on the JAXT4 fingerboard this morning...it was looking a bit brown by comparison. Much nicer. Quote
