Description

The Fano JM4 Standard is a bass guitar that beautifully bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and modern playability. Drawing inspiration from the iconic JM6, this electric bass is designed to feel as though it’s a longstanding member of the Fano family. Its 34-inch scale length ensures a perfect balance of tension and playability, while the early-60’s C Shape neck delivers a nostalgic yet comfortable grip, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned bassists and newcomers.

Crafted with an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck, the JM4 Standard promises durability and a resonant tone. The choice between an Indian Rosewood or Maple fingerboard, both adorned with rolled edges, allows players to customize their tactile experience. The FanoBird pickups, unique to this model, are engineered to deliver a powerful and dynamic sound, perfect for any musical genre. Whether you opt for top-load or string-through with the HiMax bridge, you’re guaranteed versatile string response.

This bass is not just about looks and sound; it’s built for performance. The Graphtech Tusq XL nut and nickel hardware offer reliability and stability, while the Fano custom gig bag ensures safe transport. The JM4 Standard is completed with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and medium or N.O.S. distress levels, adding a touch of personalized character to each instrument.
