Patina - PPJB-3 OW Olympic White

The Patina PPJB-3 Olympic White appeals as much for its timeless look as for its great versatility. Its Olympic White finish gives it an elegant look that transcends trends without ever going out of fashion. If you’re looking for a bass that can accompany you across a range of musical styles without complicating your life, it’s definitely worth a look.

Its paulownia body remains lightweight, making the instrument comfortable to play for hours on end. The nitrocellulose lacquer will naturally develop over time to reveal a unique patina. The roasted maple neck, combined with a satin finish, offers a very smooth feel in the hand. Its rosewood fingerboard and 20 stainless steel jumbo frets allow you to play through tracks comfortably whilst enjoying excellent durability.

The combination of PJ pickups is a real asset. The split-coil pickup in the neck position delivers all the roundness and punch you’d expect from a Precision-style bass. The single-coil pickup at the bridge adds further definition and presence to make every note stand out. It’s as simple as that! With the two independent volume controls, you can quickly find the right balance between power, precision and warmth, depending on the track you’re playing.

The fixed bridge ensures good stability and promotes natural sustain. The locking tuners effectively maintain tuning, even after several hours of rehearsal or a gig. The luminescent side markers are also very useful when the stage is dimly lit.
