• [NEW ARRIVAL] PLAYTECH JBA820 Active Bass with 3-Band EQ Now Available, Along with a Gig Bag Bundle!

  

  2026/09/30

  Based on the popular JB820, the new JBA820 active model features a 3-band EQ and is now available!
  
  While retaining the core features of the JB820, including an ash body, Wilkinson pickups, and a heavy-duty bridge, the JBA820 features a five-control layout consisting of Volume, Balancer, Treble, Mid, and Bass controls. The Treble, Mid, and Bass controls can be boosted or cut from their center-detent positions, allowing users to shape their sound directly from the instrument. Available finishes include transparent black, yellow, and green, each of which highlights the natural wood grain. The JBA820 perfectly combines the familiar feel of a JB-style bass with the tonal versatility of an active EQ.
  
  A value bundle that includes the Gear X GX Blaze gig bag is also available! Its thick padding protects your instrument, making the bag ideal for transporting it to rehearsals and live performances. Be sure to check it out!
