It was inspired by the 5-string JB.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile incorporating a 5-string style, the sound retains the JB's inherent character, while adding high playability and convenience for the modern musician.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is made of ash, the neck is maple, and the fretboard is maple, creating a classic configuration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck is thin and slender, minimizing mass as much as possible. This results in a sound that closely resembles a 4-string bass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck is reinforced with carbon fiber only near the joint with the body. Since the strength drops significantly at the joint, this reinforcement prevents warping from there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReinforcing the entire instrument would have significantly altered the sound, so minimal processing was used.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe head, like the JB, is based on a stepped design, with minimal angle adjustment and head thickness settings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis eliminates parts like tension pins, and the strings contact the nut at a minimal angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis design eliminates unnecessary elements, allowing the strings to vibrate more freely and with richer harmonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body shape is designed with smooth, three-dimensional curves, resulting in a snug fit and a sophisticated look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile there's no pickguard, the spacing between the body top and the strings is set to be nearly identical to that of a standard JB.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall, you'll experience the comfortable body balance, fit, and excellent playability characteristic of the JB style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bridge and tuning machines are made with HIPSHOT, high-quality hardware that's extremely lightweight and free of waste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pickups are single-coil pickups custom-ordered from Delano. We aimed to avoid over-increasing the number of turns, and instead capture the characteristic treble nuances of a four-string bass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe preamplifier was designed in-house and manufactured by KarDiaN. Designed for use with passive tones, it features a dedicated two-band boost EQ.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bass boost densely fills the 40-70Hz range, while the treble boost adds a vibrant 4-10kHz presence. By boosting these two components sufficiently, the frequency range around 500Hz feels relatively cut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe passive tone combined here plays a crucial role.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy using the passive tone before the PU passes through the active circuit, the high frequencies are suppressed, resulting in the powerful high-mid characteristic of a passive device. This is purely for the purpose of creating a high-midrange, and any excess or deficiency in the high range is compensated for with EQ.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MJ-5's sound is completed by combining the PU, preamp, and passive tone, all designed with a clear concept in mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe thickness and attack of a passive JB, the powerful low and high ranges typical of a JB, and the treble texture of a 4-string bass despite being a 5-string. The JIENIE MJ-5 embodies these characteristics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e◯SPECS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody: Ash\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard: Maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck: Maple 1P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale: 34 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut width: 46mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFret: 21F (214)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBridge: HIPSHOT Style B Aluminum 18mm P Tuning machine: HIPSHOT Ultralite 1\/2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePickups: Delano JIENIE custom single coil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePreamp: JIENIE 2-Band EQ boost\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls: Neck PU Volume, Bridge PU Volume, Passive Tone (Push\/Pull - Preamp on\/off), Treble Boost, Bass Boost\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGIB's skilled technicians will set up your guitar for easy playability before sending it to you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccessories: ROSIE Ultralight Bass Guitar Case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten by: Shunsuke Saga\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhotos: Hyeon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e〇 Shipping \u0026amp; Warranty Information\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item comes with a GIB 3-month warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be securely packed in a sturdy hard cardboard box for safe delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational shipping is available, and shipping is free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that customs duties, taxes, and any additional import fees are the buyer’s responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the event of a return, all shipping costs (including return shipping) and any customs or import fees will be borne by the buyer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e〇 Contact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhone: +82-507-1361-2914\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JIENIE BASSES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44268156026989,"sku":null,"price":5839.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/100601.jpg?v=1771924902","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/products\/new-jienie-basses-essential-mj-5-transparent-white-3-92kg-gib-seoul","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
