Eko Jb 100 3/4 Sunburst

The essentials to know about the Eko JB100 3/4 Sunburst bass

• 3/4 short scale format: shorter scale length for reduced finger stretches and immediate playability.


• Ideal for smaller builds: perfect for children, teens, or guitarists transitioning to bass without hesitation.


• Two single-coil J-style pickups: a true "jazz" register that is clear, punchy, and versatile, with passive electronics.


• Comfort and refined finishes: satin maple neck, laurel fingerboard, poplar body with glossy finish, timeless Sunburst look.

A classic revisited in short scale version

With its double cutaway offset silhouette and two J-style pickups configuration, the JB100 3/4 follows the great tradition of "jazz" basses: ergonomics designed for access to the higher frets and an immediately recognizable style. Here, Eko revisits these codes in a more compact version focused on ease of playing, while retaining the essentials: a simple, sturdy, and reassuring 4-string bass to get started.

For whom, and for which styles?

The Eko JB100 3/4 is primarily aimed at beginners and anyone looking for a more manageable bass: children, smaller builds, or guitarists wishing to expand their palette without struggling with the neck length of a standard bass. Thanks to its versatility, it suits styles that require a precise and articulated sound: pop, rock, funk, reggae, jazz, and group or music school learning.

The sound

Its passive electronics with two single-coil J-style pickups offer a classic and effective palette: a neck pickup for roundness and warmth, a bridge pickup for more attack, mids, and definition. The 2 volume controls allow blending each pickup, while the tone control refines brightness to switch from a punchy and edgy sound to a softer timbre. The poplar body provides balance and lightness, the maple neck enhances precision, and the laurel fingerboard adds a touch of warmth. The 4 adjustable saddles bridge helps optimize action, intonation, and sustain, for a comfortable and stable bass in daily use.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get started well, you can pair it with a standard strap, a 6.35 mm jack cable (instrument), a tuner, and a bass stand. For replacement strings, prefer a 4-string short scale bass string set with a gauge close to the original (45-105) to maintain the feel and balance of play.
