Description
Used Ikebe custom models from the popular domestic brand "BLACK SMOKER" are now in stock!
"BLACK SMOKER" is a handmade brand from BLACK CLOUD, a workshop in Nagano Prefecture, a mecca for musical instrument manufacturing where many brands are located. This brand has already gained popularity among many professional musicians for its sophisticated and high-quality sound, playability, and looks. It's a notable brand created by three people: CEO Kuroiwa, who has been involved in the design and manufacturing of numerous manufacturers and models, young builder Yanagisawa, who collaborates with him, and builder Itasaka, who has worked for a long-established Japanese brand.
This high-quality standard model offers excellent value, with simple, classic specifications that allow you to fully appreciate the brand's true value, enhanced with added accents for a truly satisfying sound. This special model features an alder body, maple neck, and a jet-black ebony fingerboard that blends beautifully with the matte black body color. Despite its simple specifications, the carefully selected materials are immediately apparent upon first note. The neck shape is slim for ease of playability, yet retains its core tone. The original pickups accurately reproduce the body's resonance while producing a full, rich sound. The smooth setup allows for effortless playing, making this a bass that directly conveys the instrument's quality of construction. The mini-switch for switching the pickups between series and parallel is not a gimmick with excessive boost, but instead delivers a fully usable sound in either position. Its rich resonance, without excessive peaking, allows it to be used in any style, genre, or sound, depending on the settings and playing style. The color is matte black, and the bright red anodized pickguard and control panel are reminiscent of the B logo familiar to the Ikebe Musical Instrument bass team.The B logo on the head top is also red, making this a carefully crafted masterpiece.
There are some slight dents on the headstock and body, and the back of the body has a slight sheen due to friction, but it is in relatively good condition.
The truss rod has plenty of room and the neck is in good condition.

Accessories: Genuine gig case
