The J-Bass is known for its bright, punchy sound, which makes it ideal for genres like funk, jazz, rock, and more. The ability to blend its two pickups provides tonal versatility, ranging from warm and smooth to spicy and growling. We have captured these qualities authentically — and, in our opinion, perfectly — with our MAYBACH Motone J. The combination of Italian moon spruce for the body, a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and AMBER Waterfall pickups has proven, after extensive testing, to be an excellent choice. We are proud to honor this great bass design with our Motone J.

When it first appeared in 1960, the ergonomic, versatile bass with its unmistakable offset body was intended for jazz bassists, but the 4-string quickly found great resonance across all kinds of genres. The timeless classic, with its distinctive and multifaceted sound and comfortable playability — whether sitting or standing — is still often the first choice for both studio and live gigs today, and can be found in the arsenal of many outstanding bassists. Some of the most legendary bass players, such as J. Pastorius, L. Graham, M. Miller, G. Lee, or J.P. Jones, are or were closely associated with the J-style bass, and countless milestones in music history have been recorded with it.
