FAQ

Description
The California Core Series is popular among players, with USA-made bodies and necks assembled domestically.
Custom model equipped with Bartolini TCT active circuit!

What is the California Core Series?
The core parts that make up the instrument are sourced from the USA, the home of electric guitars, and all of the lacquering, assembly, and final adjustments are completed using Japan's advanced technology in the JAPAN MADE series.
It is designed to be simple and easy for anyone to use, with a clear sound and a rich expressive power that can be played with the touch of your fingertips.It also minimizes the dead spots (areas where the sound decays quickly) that are common in conventional basses, allowing you to play without stress in any position.

The XJ-Core is based on a simple passive specification, but this unit is equipped with Bartolini's TCT circuit, which is also familiar from Marcus's modified active JB, allowing it to be freely set to any sound, from a simple passive JB sound to a dynamic active slap sound.

This instrument is also a ``usable'' instrument that will not disappoint, and has become popular because it has the quality and sound to withstand professional use, yet is relatively player-friendly at a price point.

A reliable instrument that responds directly to the player and is suitable for all genres!

The California Core Series is an attractive blend of modern and traditional styles.
Please give it a try!!
