The Nash JB-5 brings together vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern performance, delivering a five-string Jazz Bass that retains all the character and appeal of the classic JB63. Designed for players who want extended low-end range without compromising tone, comfort, or style, the JB-5 captures the timeless vibe of a vintage-style bass while adding the versatility of a 35” scale low B string.

With its ash body finished in an elegant 3-Tone Burst with light aging, the JB-5 has a broken-in feel right out of the case. The maple neck and fretboard, paired with a comfortable C-profile carve and a 10” radius, provide smooth playability across all five strings. Equipped with Lollar Vintage JB pickups, the bass delivers rich, articulate tones with the clarity and punch Jazz Bass players love, now with expanded low-end depth. Premium hardware, including GOTOH Res-O-Lite tuners and a black 3-ply pickguard, complete this professional-grade instrument.

Handcrafted with Nash’s attention to detail and vintage sensibility, the JB-5 is an excellent choice for players seeking a boutique five-string bass with authentic looks, classic tone, and rock-solid reliability. Perfect for a wide variety of genres — from blues and country to prog rock or punk — this workhorse 5-string comes with a sturdy Nash hardshell case, and it’s available now at Haggerty’s Music in Rapid City, South Dakota.
