Patina PPJB-3 bass Lake Blue Nitro Finish

Experience the rich, vintage sound of a traditional P-style bass with the PPJB-3, expertly crafted to deliver warmth, punch, and midrange authority. Featuring a split-coil pickup in the classic P-style position and a single-coil pickup at the bridge, this bass offers versatile tone options. Blend pickups for a unique mix or use them separately to cut through any band setting with clarity and definition.

Constructed from lightweight Paulownia and finished with an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer, the PPJB-3 ages beautifully, developing a unique character over time. The satin roasted maple neck paired with a smooth rosewood fingerboard provides immediate comfort, while stainless steel jumbo frets ensure durability and effortless playability. Vintage-style chrome locking tuners maintain tuning stability, and luminous side dots keep you oriented during late-night gigs.

The PPJB-3 delivers everything a classic bass player needs combined with modern craftsmanship and value.
