Description
The G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB electric bass guitar refines the classic single-coil sound with modern improvements for today's player. Designed with a slim maple neck and comfortable 9.5" radius with medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets, the Fullerton JB promotes silky playability. Its alder body delivers rich, traditional tone and is available in elegant finishes like 3-Tone Sunburst and Jet Black. For resonance, it features Leo Fender's Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string vibration into the body. This bass embraces timeless features yet progresses forward with its polished Natural Satin neck and cutting-edge electronics.
Choose From Alder or Swamp Ash For Desired Tone
The JB bass comes in a variety of eye-catching finishes over your choice of classic tonewoods. Opt for alder if you want a balanced, well-rounded tone with tight lows and clear highs. Or go for the slightly scooped midrange and enhanced lows of swamp ash. Both produce rich lows with excellent note definition for versatility across musical genres.
Slim Neck and Medium-Jumbo Frets For Comfort
The slim maple neck on the Fullerton JB bass provides a smooth feel during performance or recording. Its 9.5" radius and Jescar medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets allow for comfortable chording and soloing. The neck has an easy-playing vintage gloss finish that lets your fingers glide up and down effortlessly. Together, these modern specifications make the Fullerton JB a pleasure to play for extended periods.
Alnico Pickups Generate Warm, Nuanced Tone
The Fullerton Deluxe JB utilizes Alnico V single-coil pickups for articulate, balanced tone with plenty of warmth and character. The bridge pickup delivers deep lows and crisp highs, while the neck pickup generates rounder low mids for a smooth, full sound. Blend the two pickups to craft your ideal bass voice. The Alnico magnets are carefully voiced to accommodate different playing styles from delicate fingerstyle to aggressive picking.
Resonant Tone With Saddle-Lock Bridge
An innovative Leo Fender design, the Saddle-Lock bridge transfers string vibration directly into the bass's alder body for resonant tone. The six-saddle strings lock firmly into the body's end-grain, maximizing the transfer of each note's energy. This bridge is a smart update that takes the JB's acoustic properties to the next level. You'll hear and feel the improvement in sustain and richness.
