help Nash Guitars JB-63 FAQ
What vintage bass is the Nash JB-63 modeled after?
The JB-63 recreates the early-1960s Fender Jazz Bass format. Its offset body, two single-coil pickups, and slimmer nut area distinguish it from Nash's PB-series Precision-style basses.
Does the Nash JB-63 have a 34-inch scale?
Yes, it uses the standard 34-inch scale associated with Fender's Jazz Bass. That is a full-scale bass, not a short-scale design like a Fender Mustang Bass.
Can the two JB-63 pickups cancel hum?
Each pickup is a single coil, but using both together at similar volume can reduce common electrical hum when they form a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity pair. Soloing either pickup brings back the normal single-coil noise behavior.
Why are some JB-63 bodies alder and others ash?
Nash builds the model in different dealer-ordered configurations rather than one immutable specification. The exact body wood, finish, aging level, and neck shape should be confirmed from the individual instrument's build sheet.
