Bass of the Week: JClef Basses Heirloom Bass
This week, we’re checking out a beautiful Heirloom model bass from New York’s JClef Basses. Billed as their most exclusive bass build yet, this bass celebrates the company’s fifth anniversary with an insane Amboyna Burl top, a Curly Redwood core, and a Kingwood back.
“The one-piece Mahogany neck and Camatillo fretboard provide a smooth playing experience, while the gold accents and Hipshot hardware add an extra layer of visual luxury,” JClef writes. “Equipped with Aguilar OBP3 18v preamp and Bartolini pickups – including a coil tap on the bridge pickup – this versatile instrument delivers a sound that is second to none.”
