The 2025 G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB MFD offers an exceptional blend of classic design and modern capabilities. With the integration of G&L’s Magnetic Field Design (MFD) pickups, this bass delivers exceptional tone, clarity, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of musical styles and performance settings.
Classic Design with Modern Enhancements
The G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB MFD retains the classic JB platform, updated with advanced features that elevate its playability and tonal depth. It is available in either alder or swamp ash. Both options deliver distinct tonal characteristics, with alder offering a balanced, punchy sound and swamp ash providing a brighter, more resonant tone.
The bass uses Leo Fender’s MFD pickups which significantly enhance the output, delivering a broader tonal range and greater clarity. These pickups are known for their high output and tonal versatility, making them suitable for genres ranging from jazz to rock to funk. The slim hard-rock maple neck comes with a natural satin finish, offering a smooth and comfortable feel for players of all styles. Additionally, the neck profile features a G&L 1 1/2″ Medium C with a 9 1/2″ radius, allowing for easy playability across the fretboard.
A standout feature of the G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB MFD is its Saddle-Lock bridge. This bridge design maximizes sustain by efficiently transferring string vibrations directly into the body’s end grain, resulting in superior resonance and tonal clarity. Paired with the medium-jumbo Jescar 57110 frets, this bass is built for smooth, effortless playability, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced musicians alike.
The G&L Fullerton Deluxe JB MFD is available in two finishes: a Silver Metallic finish over alder with a mint pickguard and a rosewood fingerboard and a Vintage Natural finish over swamp ash, paired with a black pickguard and maple fingerboard.
