Sound Pure's Take
Clarity, clarity, clarity! If you know anything about John Suhr's work, you won't be surprised by the incredible crafstmanship exhibited in this bass. This is the kind of instrument that is so finely fit and finished and well-balanced that it just gets out of your way and lets you play! With enough warmth for classic J sounds but some extra sparkle to cover more modern sounds, this one's got you covered.
From John Suhr Guitars
The Suhr Classic J is based on the iconic electric bass designs of the 1960’s. This shape has helped define the electric bass guitar for over half a century. The Classic J’s sleek frame, asymmetrical body shape, and slim vintage neck profile make for an instrument that combines vintage style with modern improvements.
