The Jack&Danny JB Vintage 1975 Bass possesses a solid Alder body and a bolt-on Maple neck and a Maple fretboard, which work together to produce a crisp address and enduring sustain. The slim neck with conventional dimensions is incredibly comfortable, even for beginners and offers ideal playability for fat grooves and swift solos.
Two classic single-coil pickups ensure for an authentic sound, with transparency and dynamic for every genre and with fully developed mids and singing highs, even in the heavies band sounds. The passive electronics with two volume controls and a tone blend offers a highly versatile sound.
The vintage style bridge guarantees perfect intonation and string action of the Jack & Danny JB Vintage 1975, while robust tuners lend it great tuning stability.
The authentic vintage look of this great beginner’s bass is accented by black block inlays in the fretboard and the three-ply pick-guard.

For over 10 years our customers have been very satisfied with these Jack & Danny instruments. The extremely low number of returns speaks for itself!
Arrived very quickly from Germany to Australia. Great bass for the money, couldn't find anything close for the value. Great blocked and bound neck, has an extremely comfortable profile. Colour is better in person than the images, really captures the Surf Green tone. Plays great out of the box, no major setup required. Highly recommended bass for intermediate players looking for something that looks great and plays well also.
Totally awesome bass for the money!
Great looking funky green color (honestly it's even better in real life), and a really nice chunky neck front to back, reminiscent of the real 70's Jazz necks.
Finish was almost perfect both on the clear (non-tinted) lacquered neck, and the body (though the pickup cavities were cut a little rough & big in size).
Fret ends need some work to be really smooth too.
And although the stock ceramic pickups sound perfectly fine for the price, I upgraded mine with a set of Duncans SJB-1's and now the bass sounds & plays like a real vintage American Jazz.
The only really cheap feeling parts that need to be changed from the get go are imho the tuners and the bridge. I installed some authentic Wilkinsons on mine.
All in all the bass is a real beauty to watch, and feels really nice to play! It features a real alder body, and a solid, stable & great feeling chunky neck.
I used mine as base for an upgrade project, but one can use/gig it as is (with only minor upgrades i.e. tuners & bridge).
Highly recommended!!
I would like to start by saying this is the first jazz bass I have owned I've always been a precision guy and have owned and still own a few including vintage 76 USA and Japanese models
The base came well packed
And the colour is amazing gave it a good check over everything seems spot-on tunes up good and seems to hold a tune protein sounds decent so very playable out of the box only problem I encountered was a slight fret bflux string rattle on the first three frets of the Estring after letting the base settle for a few days I gave the truss rod a little turn to add some forward relief now no buzzing or anything please great for the price or even twice the price you will not find much better if anything I am if I was being really picky I would say slight gap in The neck pocket on the lower side but had that on the bases that cost a hell of a lot more nothing too bad though
So all in all a great bass at a ridiculous price which more than a holds its own against more expensive Instruments and yes I would buy again
Really good bass ! With some customizing, it can be a great bass for the money. I added new strings, and replaced the bridge and pickups, though the stock ones were very good. With the proper setup, this bass can be played with confidence.
