Manson Guitar Works John Paul Jones Signature E-Bass - Vintage Sunburst

If you have watched John Paul Jones in Led Zeppelin reunions or Them Crooked Vultures and wondered what kind of bass he was playing, This. Is. It. For over a decade Manson Guitar Works has made available a low production unit made in Europe with dedicated quality inspection and final set-up at the Manson Guitar Works premises in the UK.

What have reviewers had to say about this bass? 

In a  Bass Guitar Magazine review, editor Nick Wells described the sounds of the JPJ E-Bass; "It has such an articulate tone that notes ring out for what seems an age. Plugging in you get even more of everything - more sustain, more bottom and an astute high end." And playabilty got similar praise in this 5/5 review; "We'd go as far to say this is the fastest neck we've ever played."

“If you’re looking for a high-end 4-string that has a strong character all its own while being versatile enough to do whatever you ask of it, the Manson JPJ is a killer.” Premier Guitar
