DESCRIPTION

JB 71
Following the sale of Fender to CBS budgets and expenditures were cut. As with the Stratocasters and Telecasters the pickups for the Jazz Bass were wound with less wire. The result was a different but by no means inferior sound. The sound of the JB 71 Set is somewhat wiry, lighter and a little airier. The midrange is not as powerful or far-reaching in bass as the JB 61. Lower bass and highs have more room to unfold. A typical example of the 70s bass sound is Marcus Miller.

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THE KLOPPMANN JB 71 BASS PICKUP SET?

Another nice offering out of Germany from our friends at Kloppmann. The JB 71 dials in the 70s tone - more open to the top end of the spectrum, greater range up high. Compared to the Aguilar 4J-70, we hear a bit more upper mid range with the JB 71 set. An ever so slight bit of scoop in the mid range.

Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.

As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
