Take a page from Sweetwater’s low-end book and groove in style with the H. Jimenez LBS5 5-string electric bass guitar. This well-constructed, dependable bass brings together a player-friendly feel with versatile sonics to fit the bill. You’ll enjoy the comfortable body bevels, satin neck, and 24-fret range to explore everything from solid eighth-note lines to higher-fret fills. Meanwhile, a gorgeous spalted maple top on an ash body, black hardware, and exaggerated cutaways look the part as well. You’re well equipped to sculpt your desired bass tone thanks to the two soapbar pickups with an active/passive EQ mini switch. A set maple neck, wenge fingerboard, NuBone nut, and string-through body complete the package, setting you up to lay it down with authority from the studio to the concert stage.





Designed for comfort and performance





Regarded as a proficient manufacturer of mariachi band instruments, H. Jimenez's foray into the world of electric instruments is just as impressive. The company's LBS range is designed to cover a wide range of sonic territory, with a model well suited to any bass player, whether leaning toward jazz, country, classic rock, or metal. Series-wide aspects like a 24-fret range, NuBone nut, and Daystar fingerboard inlays set them apart from the crowd while ensuring maximum sonic enjoyment.





Studio-grade tone shaping





This LBS5 model serves up some studio-grade tone shaping thanks to a pair of soapbar pickups and accompanying electronics. For instance, it’s easy to find your desired tone and hone in on specific frequency bands with the included 3-band EQ. What’s more, an included mini toggle switch can transform these electronics from active to passive in a moment’s notice.
