About this instrument
Instrument description in English.
PLEASE NOTE! This instrument is presented as a pre-sale item. It will undergo luthier work, including, among other things, polishing of the finish, refurbishment of the metal parts and shielding of the electronics. Depending on the assessment of the neck geometry, the original frets will receive an advanced levelling and polishing, or – if levelling (planing) of the fingerboard proves necessary – the instrument will receive a completely new set of frets. The final price includes the above work. This listing does not constitute a commercial offer within the meaning of Article 66 § 1 of the Polish Civil Code.
About the instrument
The Edwards E-JB Series is a Jazz Bass-type bass guitar from the Edwards brand owned by the Japanese company ESP, produced in 2012. The instrument presented here has an ash body, a maple neck, a maple fingerboard and a factory set of Seymour Duncan SJB-1 pickups with Gotoh hardware; the finish is 3-Tone Sunburst. Edwards is a brand of the Japanese company ESP (Electric Sound Products, Tokyo, 1975), aimed primarily at the Japanese market and positioned between the LTD series and ESP instruments; its catalogues have been published since the early 1990s. Edwards instruments are fitted with Gotoh hardware and Seymour Duncan pickups or ESP’s own designs, and the number in the model designation corresponds to the list price in thousands of yen (the “R” suffix denotes a rosewood fingerboard, “M” – maple, “/LT” – the Lacquer Taste finish). The instrument is currently being prepared and will undergo the scheduled luthier service in our workshop before being released.
Technical specification
Manufacturer: Edwards (ESP)
Model: E-JB Series
Year: 2012
Body: Ash
Neck: Maple
Fingerboard: Maple
Frets: 20, Standard / Vintage Style (planned levelling and polishing / new frets if required)
Nut: Bone
Pickups: 2x Seymour Duncan SJB-1 (SJB-1n neck / SJB-1b bridge)
Electronics: Passive (2x Volume, 1x Master Tone)
Hardware: Gotoh bridge and tuners (Vintage Style, spiral saddles)
Cosmetic condition: Pre-sale / used (see description)
Finish: 3-Tone Sunburst (3TS)
Weight: 4.32 kg
Body and construction
The solid Jazz Bass-outline body is made of ash. The instrument has a 3-Tone Sunburst lacquer finish. A traditional Bolt-on construction with the classic four-bolt neck joint is used. In line with the terms of the pre-sale, the finish and wooden components will be cleaned and polished in our workshop, and the electronics cavities will be shielded.
Neck and playability
The maple neck, with the slim profile characteristic of Jazz Bass-type designs, is paired with a maple fingerboard; the nut is made of bone. The fingerboard has 20 original standard-size frets (Vintage Style). Depending on the assessment of the neck geometry, the original frets will undergo a thorough levelling and polishing, or – should the fingerboard require levelling (planing) – the instrument will receive entirely new frets. This will ensure correct intonation and appropriate string action along the entire length of the fingerboard. The fingerboard surface will be cleaned and conditioned.
Sound
The instrument is fitted with a factory set of two Seymour Duncan SJB-1 single-coil pickups (SJB-1n in the neck position and SJB-1b at the bridge) in a passive circuit with two Volume potentiometers and a shared Master Tone.
Character: According to the manufacturer, the Seymour Duncan SJB-1 (Vintage for Jazz Bass) pickups are a recreation of early-1960s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups: Alnico 5 magnets, low output, and a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity (RWRP) neck pickup, so that the pair operates hum-free when mixed equally. Combined with the ash body, this produces the frequency response typical of classic JB designs, with the ability to balance the tone between the neck and bridge positions.
Dynamics: The passive electronics respond proportionally to the force of articulation, retaining note definition with both fingerstyle and pick playing. The scheduled servicing of the circuit and shielding of the electronics cavities will reduce susceptibility to ambient noise.
Additional information
The Edwards brand belongs to the Japanese company ESP and is intended primarily for the domestic market (JDM); it offers instruments with a specification close to the higher ESP series, produced in larger runs using Japanese Gotoh hardware.
In Edwards designations, the number in the model name corresponds to the list price in thousands of yen, and the suffixes specify the fingerboard (R – rosewood, M – maple) and the finish variant (/LT – Lacquer Taste).
The bass is offered on a pre-sale basis, which allows this particular instrument to be reserved before the full luthier work in our workshop has been completed.
Hardware
Bridge: Gotoh Vintage Style Spiral Saddle – steel construction with threaded (spiral) saddles, allowing precise setting of string spacing and height. As part of the scope of work, the hardware will be cleaned and refurbished, and the bridge will receive a full adjustment of intonation and string height.
Tuners: Gotoh Vintage Style – open-gear tuning machines with classic clover-leaf keys. The hardware will be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated to ensure tuning stability.
Condition
Technical condition: The instrument is currently being prepared for playing (pre-sale). Once the scheduled luthier work has been completed, it will be fully functional both mechanically and electronically.
Cosmetic condition: The guitar shows signs of use consistent with its age – details are visible in the photographs.
Setup and modifications: The scheduled service work includes: setup (truss rod, string action and intonation adjustment), fret cleaning and polishing or – if required – fingerboard planing with a refret, cleaning and polishing of wooden and metal parts, servicing and shielding of the electronics.
Why choose this instrument
Seymour Duncan pickups: The factory SJB-1 set eliminates the need for a pickup swap for those seeking the classic, vintage Jazz Bass tone.
Gotoh hardware: Japanese Gotoh mechanisms guarantee precise and stable operation of the tuners and bridge.
Pre-sale offer: Purchasing on a pre-sale basis makes it possible to reserve this particular instrument and receive it directly upon completion of the luthier work in our workshop.
Comprehensive service: Within the agreed price, the bass will undergo all the scheduled preparatory work, which eliminates the need for any additional investment after collection.
