Description
Freedom's original model Rhino, made with ash/rosewood!
Freedom Custom Guitar Research boasts world-renowned Japanese manufacturing techniques and extensive knowledge and experience in guitar mechanics and tone. Trusted by professional musicians, the company's basses are always made with carefully selected, high-quality materials. From seasoning, which has the greatest impact on the neck's stability and strength, to precise woodworking, fretting, painting, and even factory setup, every step is handled by a dedicated expert. All of these processes are carried out in the company's own workshop in downtown Tokyo, resulting in truly handmade basses.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Rhino was born from the relationships they have cultivated with artists and music stores over the years.Every Rhino is carefully crafted by hand using the finest materials, just like instruments from the world's top brands, as a tool for the artists who create it to play freely, with every instrument carefully designed, from the neck grip and balance to the EQ, pickup tone settings, control placement, and even the sound of the instrument itself.
The original pickups, developed to match the 19mm string spacing, are so well made that even the coil materials used for the 4-string and 5-string models are different.You can feel their extraordinary attention to detail and passion for craftsmanship in everything from the original 2-band EQ preamp to the control knobs made from machined aluminum.
In addition, the unique, patented neck joint mechanism, ARIMIZO & 1-point joint, controls the sound by changing the pressure at the neck joint, allowing you to adjust the sound from a tight sound that is effective for solid rock and low-end resolution to an open sound with plenty of overtones, allowing you to enjoy a variety of sound changes with just one wrench.
This instrument features a lightweight ash body and rosewood fingerboard, and produces a familiar sound with a well-balanced, solid low range and the sticky, lustrous high range that only a rosewood fingerboard can provide.Of course, the mid-range is also full of punch when played with force, and while it has a rich sound that makes it feel more than sufficient even as a passive guitar, you can also enjoy a powerful active sound by setting the EQ more aggressively, making it a high-quality guitar that can be used on the job.
This is a reliable main bass that can be used for pop, funk, fusion, and even rock!
