Offered in the US only through Guitars To Be Played, we are incredibly excited to announce a special Limited run of Fano JM4 Standards!

This run features Lollar Thunderbirds, Schaller tuners and a variety of color and pickguard options not normally offered on the Standard series. With a full 34” scale length, the Lollar Thunderbird pickups are tight, responsive, and big on the low end. If you appreciate a bass that is thick and punchy yet incredibly articulate all at the same time, this one will quickly become your go-to. Double stops and chords retain excellent clarity; single notes are full-bodied and completely gratifying. The tone knob dials in the punch and “bite” and is musical throughout its entire sweep.

How Does It Play?

The necks and fretwork on these Fano basses are flawless. The bass sets up at 5/64” on the low E at the 12th fret and 4/64” on the high G, no fret buzz. The profile is a nice medium C, not too deep but with a comfortable amount of shoulder on it to support the hand. The heavy distress on the body is matched by a sanded down neck that is smooth and broken in. And we must say, the relic job on this instrument phenomenal all around.

Weight: 9lb 3oz

The Fano Custom padded gigbag is included.
