The Spectra Bass BB is a solid option for gigging musicians or players just starting out. The active/passive switching gives you a surprisingly wide range of tones, from a tight, modern growl to a warmer, more vintage vibe. It’s a workhorse bass that delivers a lot of bang for your buck, especially if you like that P-bass vibe with a little extra edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Active mode boosts the lows and adds a bit of distortion, while passive mode delivers a more classic P-bass tone – warmer and more rounded.
The neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, and with a 1.5 in nut width, it shouldn't feel cramped, though it's not a super wide profile.
The JS2P is well-built for the price, but don’t expect premium hardware or flawless finishing – it’s a budget-friendly instrument with some expected compromises.
