Up for sale, a 2006 Fender Marcus Miller Signature Jazz Bass model JB77-205MM in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. From the earlier "Crafted in Japan" production run of the (now discontinued) Marcus Miller Jazz Bass, this instrument features an ash body with a gloss Natural finish, active EQ, and maple fretboard with binding and pearl block inlay.
The Marcus Miller model is designed for optimal richness, detail, and articulation, and the pickups have plenty of growl and burp, with the top end response accentuated by the maple fretboard. The ash body and Leo Quan Badass II bridge also ensure ample sustain, clear note attack and a complex midrange character. The bass weighs 9lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 40-95 roundwound strings, easy-playing action and accurate intonation.
