The alder body, finished in a beautifully aged Fiesta Red nitrocellulose lacquer, exudes pure vintage charisma. Every subtle detail — from the delicate checking to the tastefully worn edges — tells the story of a well-loved instrument with decades of groove behind it. The thin nitro finish allows the wood to breathe, enhancing resonance and giving every note a warm, organic response.
The maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard offers that classic ’60s feel — smooth, fast, and perfectly balanced. Its slim C-shaped profile provides comfort for long sets, while the vintage-radius fingerboard delivers effortless playability and articulation.
Equipped with dual hand-wound Maybach J-style single-coil pickups, the Motone J delivers everything from tight, punchy midrange and articulate highs to deep, authoritative lows. Blending the pickups unlocks the unmistakable growl and dynamic range that made the J-style bass legendary — ideal for funk, rock, jazz, soul, or anything in between.
With vintage hardware, a lightly aged aesthetic, and exceptional tonal clarity, the Maybach Motone J Fiesta Redcaptures the magic of the past while delivering the reliability and performance modern players demand.
