Take a page from Sweetwater’s low-end book and groove in style with the H. Jimenez LSB5 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, gloss neck, and 24-fret range to explore everything from solid eighth-note lines to higher-fret fills. Meanwhile, single-ply ABS binding, black hardware, and exaggerated cutaways look the part as well. Tonally speaking, a pairing of open-pole P- and J-style pickups outfits this axe with a wide range of possible sonic options, spanning rock to prog, funk, and beyond. A bolt-on maple neck, wenge fingerboard, and NuBone nut 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 LSB 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.





P-/J-style pickups ready for a range of styles





Set out on the scene with the H. Jimenez LSB5 bass, and you’ll always have plenty of sonic real estate to choose from. Thanks to the classic duo of passive P- and J-style pickups, you’ll have punch and articulation to hit a wide variety of genres, from funk to classic rock to jazz and more. Plus, given their open-pole design, these pickups don’t skimp on their bite and attack, making the LSB5 an exceptional choice for bassists looking to dip their toes in a range of tonal waters.
