JB Models
The JB Models build upon the foundation established by our PB Models, adding a dual-pickup configuration, slimmer neck profile, and offset body design for increased comfort and tonal versatility. With added midrange and treble response, the JB Models deliver the punch, clarity, and articulation that have made this style of bass a favorite for generations while retaining the vintage character that defines every Nashguitars bass.
JB-63
The JB-63 is our take on the classic dual-pickup offset bass. Traditionally built with an Alder body and Rosewood fretboard, we also offer Ash bodies and Maple fretboards. Available in any Nashguitars Standard Finish, the JB-63 is offered with 3-ply black, white, mint, or pearl pickguards, as well as a 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard. Matching headstocks, bound and blocked fretboards, and a vintage-style Stack Knob wiring configuration are also available.
