SX SJB62 Olympic White 4-string Bassguitar

SX SJB62-OWH — Classic J-Bass Shape in Olympic White

The SX SJB62-OWH brings the iconic J-bass silhouette to musicians seeking authentic instrument feel without a premium-tier price tag. Built with a solid basswood body, this four-string electric bass showcases an Olympic White finish and a 3-ply pickguard, providing the punchy, articulate voice that characterizes the J-bass legacy. An 864 mm scale ensures comfortable string tension for younger players while maintaining the low-end focus that working bassists expect.

What Sets This J-Bass Apart

What distinguishes this model in the entry-to-mid J-bass segment is its solid basswood construction, a 2-way adjustable truss rod, and a chrome bridge that is fully adjustable — features commonly found in higher-priced instruments. The vintage green/black/vintage green 3-ply pickguard and the Olympic White gloss finish lend a refined stage-ready look that exceeds expectations for its class.

Body Construction and Finish

Solid basswood provides a warm, balanced response with focused mids ideal for mix situations, and the Olympic White gloss finish with a 3-ply pickguard gives the bass a crisp, professional visual presence on stage.

• Body Material: Solid Basswood — warm, balanced tone with focused mids that cut through a band mix.
• With a Glossy Olympic White finish and a 3-ply pickguard, this instrument delivers a clean stage-ready aesthetic.
• Bridge: Chrome, fully adjustable — lets players set string height and intonation precisely.

Neck and Fingerboard — Comfortable Feel Across All 20 Frets

The maple neck provides stiffness and a bright attack, while the rosewood fingerboard contributes warmth and a smooth touch. With a 38 mm synthetic bone nut and a 2-way truss rod, the neck remains straight and the action low under tension.

• Neck Material: Selected Canadian Maple — bright attack and rigidity for stable tuning.
• Fretboard Material: Rosewood — warm tonal character and smooth playing surface.
• Scale Length: 864 mm — standard J-bass scale with focused low-end punch.
• Nut Width: 38 mm — narrow enough for fast playing, wide enough for confident fingerstyle.

Pickups and Hardware — The Classic J-Bass Voice

Two single-coil J-style pickups capture the bright, articulate top end and the deep, growling low end that make the J-bass a fixture in studios and on stage. For tuning reliability during long sets and recording, open-gear chrome tuners work alongside a synthetic bone nut.

• Pickups: 2 x Single Coil (J-bass style) — bright top end with deep, focused low end and classic J-bass growl.
• With 2 Volume, 1 Tone controls, you can blend each pickup independently and shape your overall tone.
• Tuners: Open-Gear, Chrome — reliable tuning stability with a vintage look.

Who Should Play This Bass

For beginners and intermediate bassists seeking classic J-bass character without flagship pricing, this instrument offers a compelling choice. Students will notice the comfortable 38 mm nut width, the smooth rosewood fingerboard, and the forgiving 864 mm scale that eases hand fatigue during extended practice. Producers working in home studios will find a versatile four-string that delivers clean recordings for rock, pop, funk, and jazz. Gigging musicians enjoy easy setup tweaks thanks to the open-gear tuners, fully adjustable bridge, and 2-way truss rod.
