Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Markbass's MB JB is a right-handed, long-scale electric bass with two single-coil pickups and a straightforward Volume, Volume, Tone control set. Blending the pickups lets you move between the articulated high end and punchier midrange response described for the instrument. The slim tapered maple neck and offset poplar body are built around comfortable movement and balance, while the double cutaway reaches the upper frets. A padded gig bag is included for carrying it between rehearsal, recording, and stage work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal, recording, and live performance requiring a bass with two blendable single-coil pickups.
- Players who want separate pickup volume controls and one master tone control.
- Longer sessions where the slim tapered neck and balanced offset body are priorities.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, since the bass is right handed.
