Fano Guitars Announces Launch of Standard Series JM4-FB Bass

Fano Guitars Announces Launch of Standard Series JM4-FB Bass

The bass incorporates a 34” scale length, 10” radius fretboard, and an early 60s "C" shape neck.

Scottsdale, AZ (January 12, 2018) -- Continuing in Fano Guitars’ tradition of innovative designs that are inspired by the classics and redefined by creativity, we announce the Fano Standard Series JM4-FB Bass!!

Using the ever-popular JM6 as a springboard, we designed the JM4 Bass to look and feel as though it’s been part of the Fano line from its inception.  The JM4’s classic styling incorporates a 34” scale length, 10” radius fretboard and an early 60s "C" shape neck that feels comfortable and familiar in your hands.  We have also raised the bar in playability and tone with the addition of our proprietary “FanoBird” bass pickups and “HiMax” bridge that offers both top-load and string-through body options.

We will continue to offer the option of Medium Distress and NOS finishes in eight different colors.  The JM4 will also be available with the choice of a Rosewood or Maple fretboard!  Like all Fano guitars – Alt de Facto and Standard instruments – each JM4 is hand-built, one at a time from start to finish by one builder in Scottsdale, AZ.

Availability

The new Fano Standard Series JM4-TB Bass will be launched in January 2018 at The Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA and shipping to Authorized Fano Dealers worldwide in February/March 2018.

This versatile ramping phaser is distinguished by a fat voice, vibrato section, and practical preamp.

Uncommonly thick phaser voice. Useful range of ramping effects. The practical preamp section can be used independently. Nice vibrato mode.

Visually cluttered design. Some ramping effects can be difficult to dial in with precision.

The notion behind a ramping phaser predates the phaser pedal by many moons—namely in the form of thetwo-speed Leslie rotating speaker. A Leslie isn’t a phaser in the strictest sense, though the physics behind what the listener perceives are not dissimilar, and as any phaser devotee can tell you, there are many audible similarities between the two. At many phase rates and intensities, a phaser stands in convincingly for a Leslie, and the original king of phasers, theUniVibe was conceived as a portable alternative to rotary speakers.
