This used Jay Turser JTB-401 electric bass in red gloss finish shows notable signs of wear but remains a solid choice for bassists looking for a budget-friendly instrument with a classic vibe. It features a P-style pickup configuration known for its warm, punchy sound, making it suitable for various music genres. The electronics are in good working order following a recent cleaning, though the bass does suffer from cosmetic issues such as body scratches and a discolored pickguard. It also has fret issues beyond the 12th fret, which have been assessed in our repair log. Given its fair condition, this instrument has been priced accordingly and offers an excellent opportunity for further customization or as a starter instrument.
