[@randysnell9218]

The radiused pickups are wonderful, in either single coil or humbucker. I think you can even buy them separately.

[@markbass354]

O my God this bass is nice.
I need one bad , afford one maybe not but maybe.

[@triathlonSDhsp]

That JB5 is damn nice!

[@DeanMccormick]

Check this dude on Miles Davis' Star People album '83 - (track # 3 - 'Speak') - one of my all time favourite bass grooves ;).

[@atbglenn]

I ordered a custom JB4 in surf green with a black pickguard, a birdseye maple fretboard with block inlays and birdseye maple headstock. They tell me I have to wait up to 12 weeks to get it. I hate waiting so long, but I sure it will be worth it.

[@SakiDG]

How is it? :)

[@Planes_osu]

“Change the strings once a week” wow 😮

[@rudyzulkarnaen1633]

What is the detailed configuration of Mr Barney's V59K? And how much is the price of it? I'm interested in getting a V69K with the configuration of Mr Barney's bass.

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]
