Timeless jazz lines in ¾ format!
We no longer need to introduce the timeless offset silhouette that inspired the design of the Eko JB100 3/4 format: the characteristic double cutaway guarantees excellent access to the last frets, combined with two single pickups and a 4-bridge bridge/cordier block, but here with a reduced scale (of 761 mm) for ease of playing! This “short scale” or 3/4 format makes this an attractive electric bass, highly ergonomic and easy to play for children and smaller players. Guitarists who also want to take up the bass without suffering from acrobatic positions between the cases will be delighted, while retaining a true bass sound.
Quality lutherie.
Despite its affordable price, the JB100 3/4 has been carefully crafted to offer bassists new to the instrument an attractive, well-finished bass. The body, crafted from poplar for strength, is highlighted by a high-gloss varnish. The sturdy, comfortable 4-point screwed maple neck is topped by a laurel fingerboard, bringing stability and warmth.
A versatile configuration.
As for the electronics, the JB100 3/4 is equipped with 2 J-type single-coil pickups with their familiar layout, much appreciated for their snap, midrange and versatility. Gret for warm, clear sounds, they can also be very biting and percussive when combined with powerful distortion. To extend the sonic possibilities, a volume control for each pickup and a general tone control enable you to mix the characters of the different pickups and adjust their more or less brilliant timbre. The bridge/tailpiece block incorporates independently adjustable sddles to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string and ensure effective sustain.
Affordable, versatile and aesthetically pleasing with its timeless silhouette and high-gloss finish, the 3/4-size JB100 is the ideal instrument for starting out on electric bass with comfort and ease, without breaking the bank.
