Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 8.8 lbs.
Suhr is mostly known for making quality electric 6-string guitars but when they put their mind, hands, and tools to a 4-string bass...watch out! Not only is it gorgeous, it sounds amazing! Even acoustically, this bass has tons of punch and clarity and is surprisingly loud. Plug it in play your way to tonal nirvana. The pickups sound very full and pure and the addition of the active preamp allows you to find any bass tone you could desire. This angelic white beauty will not last long so snag it while you can!
From John Suhr Guitars
Introduced in 2003, 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.
The Classic J is available with either our Classic J Vintage or Classic J Humphrey pickups. When coupled with our Classic J preamp, The Classic J can effortlessly shift between genres with the turn of a knob. From the thundering pulse of Rock to the punchy growl of Jazz Fusion to the percussive slap of Funk, the Classic J is always the right choice.
