Product Description
The Sqoe SJB400 (Short Scale Series) is an ergonomic powerhouse designed for players who prefer a more manageable frame without sacrificing professional features. Its poplar body provides a balanced, lightweight foundation that is easy on the shoulder, featuring a high-gloss finish that protects the wood while looking sharp under stage lights. Despite its smaller size, the body maintains the classic contours and comfortable weight distribution of a traditional jazz-style instrument.
The standout feature of this model is the Canadian Roasted Maple neck, which provides exceptional stability and a smooth, vintage-inspired feel. It is paired with a rosewood fingerboard and 19 medium frets, offering a warm tonal response and a comfortable 30-inch scale length that is perfect for younger players, travel, or those who find full-scale basses too taxing. A precision 8-hole two-way rebar truss rod allows for easy adjustments to keep the action perfectly dialed in.
Uniquely for a "Jazz" titled model, the SJB400 actually features a versatile PJ pickup configuration, combining a vintage-style split-coil "P" pickup in the middle with a punchy single-coil "J" pickup at the bridge. This hybrid setup—controlled by two volume knobs and one master tone—allows you to blend the deep, thumping low-end of a Precision bass with the articulate, mid-range growl of a Jazz bass. The hardware is rounded out with open-gear chrome tuners and a standard 4-saddle bridge for reliable intonation.
