Each Fano Oltre series instrument is handbuilt in the USA using an old-growth North American Alder body, maple neck and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The result is a resonant, lively instrument crafted with care and precision. This series allows for a number of customizations, from color to pickguard, knobs to pickups. Models can be built with either a maple or rosewood fretboard to meet the needs of a variety of players. If this isn’t the exact Fano you are looking for, contact us to spec one out precisely to your liking!
Fano absolutely knocked it out of the park with the pickups, design and feel of the JM4. The tones are thick and delicious through the lows and mids but always matched with clarity and precision. Playing up the neck? Still warm and tight. The tone knob dials in the punch and “bite” and is musical throughout its entire sweep. The bass sounds killer through a PA and in-ears alike. The NOS Cherry Burst finish looks stellar and you can expect some nice natural finish checking as this instrument ages.
How Does It Play?
This bass sets up very nice and low, right under 5/64” on the low E at the 12
th
fret and nearly down to 4/64” on the high G. No fretbuzz whatsoever. It has the feel of an early jazz bass neck with a little extra meat in the shoulders to support the hand without fatigue.

The Fano Custom padded gigbag is included.

Our Process
We hand-pick all of our inventory. Nothing is purchased sight-unseen.
We know what it takes to make a guitar gig-worthy and a joy to play,
and those criteria drive the choices we make when picking out an instrument for you!
But we don't stop there.
We thoroughly check every instrument brought into the shop. Each one receives a full setup as needed,
ensuring that it reaches you playing easy and sounding its best. Adjusted truss rod, correct saddle height(s), perfect nut slots, smooth fret ends and no high frets. You get it all!
