Kiesel Guitars Introduces the Modern J-Bass – No Treble

notreble.com

Kiesel's Modern J-Bass is a striking combination of modern aesthetics and versatile sound options. Its sleek design, featuring a pickguard-less body, showcases beautiful top woods while offering comfort with a tasteful bevel. The extensive pickup choices and robust electronics elevate its playability, making it suitable for various genres. However, at a starting price of $1,699, some may find it a bit steep, especially when considering budget alternatives. Ultimately, it's a solid choice for bassists looking for customization and quality, but potential buyers should weigh the investment against their needs.
