help Nash Guitars JB-75 FAQ
Which 1970s bass is the Nash JB-75 modelled after?
It is Nash's aged interpretation of a mid-1970s Fender Jazz Bass. The JB name refers to the Jazz Bass layout, including two single-coil bass pickups and separate pickup-volume controls.
Does the Nash JB-75 have the bridge pickup in the 1970s position?
The model follows the later Jazz Bass concept, in which the bridge pickup sits closer to the bridge than on many 1960s examples. That placement contributes to the tighter bridge-pickup sound associated with 1970s Jazz Basses.
Is the Nash JB-75 an active bass?
The standard vintage-style configuration is passive, using two volume controls and a master tone control. Individual Nash instruments can have custom specifications, so a used example should be checked for aftermarket electronics.
Why does a new Nash JB-75 look heavily worn?
Nash uses a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and applies wear, checking and hardware aging before the bass leaves the workshop. It is a modern American-made instrument, not an original bass manufactured in 1975.
