Arnoldoc Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Up for sale my Fano JM4 bass with original Gig Bag in Dakota Red light distressed finishing. Humbucker tone but with jazz bass type ergonomics. Bought new less than a month ago. Really nice bass but I play primarily jazz basses and doing a bit of a summer clean. Lots of positive feedback selling and buying from this site. Overview: USA JM4 Using the ever-popular JM6 as a springboard, we designed the JM4 Bass to look and feel as though it’s been part of the Fano line from its inception. The JM4’s classic styling incorporates a 34” scale length, 10” radius fretboard and an early-60’s C Shape neck that feels comfortable and familiar in your hands. We have also raised the bar in playability and tone with the addition of our proprietary “FanoBird” bass pickups and “HiMax” bridge that offers both top-load and string-through body options. Each JM4 is hand-built, one at a time from start to finish by one builder in Scottsdale, AZ. Features: Body: Alder Neck: Maple (Bolt-on with body color matching upper headcap, 10 degree headstock pitch, vintage style truss rod Neck Shape: Early 60's C Shape .800 - .970 Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood with rolled edges Fingerboard Radius: 10" Frets: 21 Inlay: Aged White Moto (top/side) Scale Length: 34" String Nut: 1.5" Tusq XL Hardware: Nickel Tuners: "Fano" Bass 4-in-line Bridge: Fano HD Bass Pickups: Fano TB Bridge & Neck Controls: Volume, Volume, Tone Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer Case & Accessories: "Fano" Custom Gig Bag, Polish Cloth, and Wrench This is a video review of the bass Edited May 10, 2022 by Arnoldoc 13 Quote

MNY Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Quite surprised to see this is still available. Great sounding instrument, almost jazzier than a jazz. Edited August 6, 2021 by MNY Quote

Tripehound Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 Lovely bass. What does 'light distressing' mean? Quote
Arnoldoc Posted November 17, 2021 Author Posted November 17, 2021 14 hours ago, Tripehound said: Lovely bass. What does 'light distressing' mean? In this case it's the ageing (and very slight cracking) of the paint and a few slight bumps, to give it the appearance of a vintage rather than new instrument. It's most commonly done on Fender Custom Shop instruments. Quote
