The J & D ABG-5c Natural 5-string acoustic bass offers a stage-ready range of features and comfortable playability at an incredibly affordable price. The large jumbo body with cutaway and the full-size 34" long scale length (864 mm) promise a particularly sonorous and powerful sound image, which is transferred with natural dynamics and warmth to amplifiers or recording equipment by the integrated Fishman Presys pickup system. Last but not least, the slim "C" neck profile along with the cutaway in the body offer butter-soft playability up to the highest positions, whereas four die-cast tuners ensure that the J & D ABG-1c Natural is tuned precisely and stable.
For a particularly powerful sound, the J&D ABG-5c Natural features a full 34" long scale length (864 mm) and a large body in jumbo format . The combination of a laminated spruce top with laminated mahogany back and sides promises a particularly warm sound with a deep bass foundation and silky treble range. Thanks to the cutaway in the body, the slim maple neck in the comfortable "C" profile can be played effortlessly up to the highest frets.
With the high-quality Fishman Presys pickup system , the J & D ABG-5c Natural is perfectly equipped for use on stage and in the recording studio. The pickup impresses with a particularly natural reproduction of the bass sound that captures warmth and dynamics in detail. A classic 2-band EQ is provided for adjusting the sound, whereas the phase switch helps to suppress unwanted feedback. The J & D ABG-5c Natural can also be tuned quickly and accurately with the integrated tuner of the Fishman Presys.
ABG-5c is a good buy for anyone who is beginning to learn or play bass, has an average sound for amateur recording but serves perfectly to start.
Good price-quality ratio.
Rather Fragile, handle with care.
fast shipping in perfect condition, I am satisfied.
Its a great acoustic 5 str. Bass. I am using it in recording some music gigs, is a perfect bass for such jobs. This Bass is a fine instrument to play and will be used as acoustic bass sound out in the streets by a trio and a quartet playing for the shows.
Very satisfied and pleased with the excellent Acoustic Bass for a little price. Thanks
Unfortunately we live in a world where, at any given day, you can go out and buy a guitar with this quality for 40 or 50 euros. You will not be sorry to take that to the street and let it catch some humidity, for sure...
That never was a reality for the bassist, no. When I bought this one a few years back, it costed around 220 euros.
It's great for practice, after playing this for a week you get your hands on an electric bass and it all seems easy, and it's great for fun, but it really doesn't sound well on a professional setting (either studio or live).
Now it's at around 170 euros, i still recommend it for the lack of options.
Its really a BIG bass guitar. Maybe you can have difficult finding case or bag for it.
Workmanship is good, but not perfect.
Strings were set too low so they were buzzing on frets. I had to raise them. Very playable instrument, good sound (not too loud as you might expect regarding big body) Good sound even on amplifire. I havent tryed it yet on stage, so I dont know how it will behave (feedback?).
Summary, very good bass for that money.
It has a good sound and its really a great piece to start with. If you wanna learn how to play bass.
it gives you a great groove during your gigs.
its a bit bigger than expected but once you get used to it you are good to go.
