H. Jimenez LBS5 5-String Bass - Walnut/Ash | No Limit Guitar Co
The H. Jimenez LBS5 5-string electric bass guitar delivers professional-grade performance with its walnut-topped ash body and versatile active/passive electronics. This thoughtfully designed bass offers exceptional playability through its comfortable body contours and smooth gloss neck finish, making it ideal for bassists seeking reliable tone across multiple musical contexts. Whether you're holding down the low end in the studio or commanding the stage, this instrument provides the sonic flexibility and build quality demanded by serious players.
Product Overview
The LBS5 features a striking walnut top paired with a solid ash body, creating both visual appeal and tonal depth. The flat-top design incorporates comfort bevels that reduce fatigue during extended playing sessions, while the exaggerated cutaways provide unrestricted access to all 24 frets. Black hardware complements the natural wood finish, giving this bass a professional aesthetic that suits any performance environment.
The bolt-on wenge neck showcases a gloss finish that facilitates smooth position changes and fast runs up and down the fretboard. The wenge fingerboard hosts 24 medium-jumbo frets adorned with elegant Daystar inlays, providing clear position markers even in low-light stage conditions. With a comfortable 1.771" nut width, the neck profile accommodates both traditional fingerstyle and modern slap techniques without cramping your fretting hand.
Two soapbar pickups deliver rich, full-bodied bass tones with excellent clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. The active/passive EQ mini switch expands your tonal palette, allowing you to toggle between modern active punch and vintage passive warmth. String-through-body construction enhances sustain and vibrational transfer, while the NuBone nut ensures accurate intonation and consistent string response.
Ideal For
- Funk and R&B bassists who need both slap-friendly brightness and deep fingerstyle groove
- Studio session players requiring tonal versatility to adapt across multiple genres
- Gigging musicians seeking a road-worthy 5-string bass with reliable hardware
- Intermediate to advanced players transitioning to extended-range bass performance
- Church and worship band musicians who value clear low B-string articulation
Key Features
Walnut and Ash Body Construction
The combination of walnut top and ash body delivers balanced tonal characteristics with pronounced midrange clarity and solid low-end foundation. Comfort bevels and ergonomic contouring reduce body weight on your shoulder during long performances.
Dual Soapbar Pickup System
Two soapbar-style pickups capture your playing dynamics with exceptional detail, while the active/passive EQ switch provides instant tonal transformation. Active mode delivers modern punch and extended frequency response, while passive mode offers organic warmth reminiscent of classic bass tones.
Wenge Neck and Fingerboard
The bolt-on wenge neck provides stability and sustain, while the matching wenge fingerboard offers a smooth, fast playing surface. The gloss neck finish ensures effortless movement between positions without stick or drag.
24-Fret Extended Range
Access to 24 frets opens up melodic possibilities beyond traditional bass range, enabling everything from walking bass lines to chordal passages and high-register fills. The extended fretboard accommodates modern playing techniques while maintaining comfortable string spacing.
String-Through-Body Bridge
Enhanced resonance and sustain result from the string-through-body design, which maximizes vibrational energy transfer to the body wood. This construction method also improves tuning stability and adds percussive attack to your fundamental tone.
