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 hard-hitting 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, single-ply ABS binding, chrome hardware, and exaggerated cutaways look the part as well. Tucked away in the body of this H. Jimenez is a humbucker ready to dole out powerful tones with help from its 3-band EQ, active/passive mini switch, and coil-tapping mini switch! A bolt-on wenge neck, wenge fingerboard, string-through body, 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 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.





Powerful sonics with dedicated controls





Fans of humbucking basses will want to try this H. Jimenez LBS5 bass on for size. Along with the hum-free sound of its open-pole pickup, this bass also offers a slew of electronics for dialing its single humbucker into a wide range of tones. Players can change from passive or active 3-band EQ by flipping the dedicated mini switch. Meanwhile, another mini switch offers a coil tap function for even more sonic experimentation.
