Guild's Jumbo Junior Bass is a short scale (23 3/4"), compact four-string that doesn't scrimp on tone. Much smaller than a full size acoustic bass, the JJB is easy to travel with and an excellent choice for players who prefer a more intimate playing experience. The solid sitka spruce top and arched flamed maple back mirror the tonewoods used in upright bass construction, giving you a clear, tight tone. It's equipped with a Guild AP-1 Active Acoustic Piezo pickup system for easy amplification or recording.
