Manufacturer's description:

Of course there are no prizes for guessing the heritage of the Jive Bass — the offset body & twin single coil pickup arrangement are clearly part of bass history — but this is no run-of-the-mill, carbon copy clone.

Inspired by the wealth of experience that the Bass Centre has accumulated over four decades in the business, as well as by our communication with professional players and customers all over the world, the Jive Bass sports a number of unique features as well as the Bass Centre's own take on tradition. With a body profile that has had 4mm shaved from the familiar outline and the Bass Centre's satin finished "Super Slim Sixties" ® neck profile (significantly slimmer than the classic "C" shape), the Jive provides a lightweight, comfortable and super-fast playing experience.

"THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS WELCOME, NOT ONLY IN THE FEEL OF THE NECK PROFILE BUT ALSO IN THAT THIS INSTRUMENT IS NICELY BALANCED AND SURPRISINGLY LIGHTWEIGHT. A VERY GOOD BASS FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY" — DAN VEALL, GUITAR INTERACTIVE

Soundwise, the Jive truly delivers all you could want... and then some. The vintage style single coil pickups produce an authentic tone — glittering harmonics, clear, zingy highs & earthy, growling lows are all present & correct, with an even response and stacks of sustain and resonance courtesy of the revolutionary Babicz Full Contact Bridge, which comes either as standard issue on selected models, or as a premium upgrade.

And, of course, the Jive looks fantastic too, with a choice of flawlessly applied, period accurate finishes and authentic pickguards, with a cool, chrome pickup cover crowning an instrument that boasts superb build quality, awesome playability and a superb, versatile tonal range — all at a astonishingly good price.
