I started playing bass around last year and found it incredibly difficult to find a bass that was not only left handed but also affordable in case I decided I didn't really want it, and the JB-20 is the perfect fit for that. It's affordable, it's rather comfortable to wear with a strap and it's got a great sound to it, however it is a budget bass, so don't expect it to be a lifelong purchase. The bottom pickups are not completely aligned to the strings, you can see little gaps in the body where the shape was cut out and (with my model at least) the A string buzzes because the bridge is slightly loose, but then again it is just a starting bass. Overall I feel like it was a good buy and you should consider yourself if you want a decent sounding Jazz bass
