The Jet JPB-300 SG R Bass in Seafoam Green
Vintage Heart, Modern Pulse
At Town Center Music, we know that every great band needs a rock-solid foundation. The Jet Guitars JPB-300 SG R is designed to be exactly that. By taking the iconic, time-tested "P-style" bass blueprint and enhancing it with high-end materials like roasted tonewoods and Alnico electronics, Jet has created an instrument that bridges the gap between vintage soul and modern reliability. Finished in a gorgeous Forest Green with a dark Rosewood fretboard, this bass doesn’t just hold down the low end—it commands the stage.
Whether you’re a session player in Suwanee needing that classic studio "thump" or a live performer looking for a bass that stays in tune under the hot stage lights, the JPB-300 SG R is built to exceed expectations without breaking the bank.
Alnico Power: The Sound of the Greats
The core of the JPB-300’s sound is its Jet Alnico Split-Coil pickup. While many entry-level basses use cheaper ceramic magnets that can sound harsh or brittle, Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt) is the industry standard for musicality. This pickup provides a warm, round, and punchy tone that "sits" perfectly in a mix.
From the deep, soul-filled lows of Motown to the aggressive, mid-forward growl of classic rock and punk, the JPB-300 is incredibly touch-sensitive. Roll the tone knob back for a smooth, upright-like thud, or open it up for a percussive bite that cuts through even the loudest drum kit. It is the quintessential bass tone that has defined popular music for over seven decades.
Stability and Feel: The Roasted Maple and Rosewood Edge
The feature that has made Jet Guitars a viral sensation is their mastery of Roasted Canadian Maple. By heat-treating the neck in a specialized kiln, Jet removes moisture and impurities, resulting in a neck that is significantly more stable than standard maple. For our customers in the humid North Georgia climate, this is a massive advantage. Your neck is less likely to bow or warp with the seasons, keeping your action low and your playability high.
The "R" in the model name signifies the Rosewood fretboard. While maple boards offer a bright snap, the Rosewood on the JPB-300 SG R provides a warmer, more traditional feel and a darker aesthetic that perfectly complements the Seafoam Green finish. Combined with a Modern "C" profile and a 12-inch radius, this neck feels fast and ergonomic, making long sets or four-hour rehearsals much easier on your hands.
Roasted Poplar Body: Resonant and Reliable
The JPB-300 features a Roasted Poplar body. Poplar is a fantastic tonewood for bass, offering a balanced frequency response similar to Alder but with a lighter weight. By roasting the body as well as the neck, Jet has increased the resonance of the wood, giving the bass a "played-in" feel right out of the box. You can feel the vibrations against your ribs as you play, a hallmark of a truly well-constructed instrument.
The hardware is equally impressive, featuring a vintage-style bridge for maximum vibration transfer to the body and high-ratio chrome tuners for precise adjustments. The 2025/2026 spec update also includes the high-performance polymer fiber nut, which ensures the strings glide smoothly without binding, further enhancing the tuning stability of the instrument.
Classic Aesthetics with a Modern Twist
The Forest Green finish is a showstopper. It’s a color that looks incredible under stage lights, especially when paired with the dark rosewood board and the chrome hardware. The body features deep contours and a generous belly cut, ensuring that whether you play with a pick or your fingers, the bass sits comfortably and naturally against your body.
