BaggyMan Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) The SB-2 is Leo Fenders final design on the P-J. Smaller bodied than a precision is easier on the neck. This is one of the first run versions and is just amazing, the build quality is excellent with the now discontinued rosewood board..along with a trans orange finish, also now unavailable. US hardware and pickups (the industry renowned MFD pickups). The output is huge and great tonally. Changed out the 'tribute' stamped bridge for a G & L stamped bridge. One unusual design difference is the bass has one volume per set of pickups and no treble . Balancing the tone is a very simple blend of the p pickup (bassier) and the J pickup (treble...ier) volumes. There is an easy mod to make it like a p-j or use stack knobs, but i never felt there was a need. Really a great gig instrument, smaller bodied than a p bass, easy on the neck and back (weighs a shade under 10lb and quite comfortable) . Finally it has a hipshot detuner a great upgrade to the four stringer format. I cant say enough good things about these. Leo Fender said it was his best bass design. A players instrument for sure. No P bass at this price can match this basses quality and versatility.

Marc S Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) Hi there. Nice looking bass. Do you have an accurate weight for this bass. (always on the lookout for helping my ageing back / shoulders) Edited September 9 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaggyMan Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Couple of ounce short on 10lb. Tbh i thought it was a bit lighter but becuase of the smaller body doesn't seem it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I really liked the one I had...the lack of tone knob seems to be counter intuitive but once you get used to balancing your tone by mixing the pickups it you wonder why nobody thought of it before...
