This instrument is part of the \"XJ\" series, assembled in Japan. With a natural tone that smoothly translates the player's sensitivity into sound, versatile control, and excellent durability, this model has attracted much attention from both professional and amateur musicians both in Japan and overseas as the \"best tool\" for playing music. Furthermore, with woodworking in one of Japan's leading workshops, assembly by in-house builders, and high-quality setup and quality control utilizing PLEK, this high-quality instrument is renowned for its passion for instrument making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This instrument features a traditional '60s JB bass-style 5-string with an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The optional roasted maple neck delivers a well-seasoned attack and a clear, crisp sound from the moment you pick it up. The traditional lacquer finish adds a touch of aged elegance to the instrument, while also providing a well-balanced sound with rich overtones and a refined tone that sounds as if it's already been played. The rich, fat low-mid notes and lustrous high-mid notes, combined with the rich tone of the alder, provide a comfortable, balanced response all the way down to the low B string. This instrument also features optional Raw Vintage Pickups. These hand-wired pickups deliver the crisp, crisp, and warm tone you expect from a hand-wired pickup, delivering a rich sound even when used passively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The preamp, a defining feature of this brand's basses, is equipped with our original Tri-logic active preamp, which covers a full range of boost while minimizing tonal changes. While the various controls may seem cumbersome and complex at first glance, they are actually designed to help players create the sound they desire, with precise purpose and solid support. We also paid particular attention to the hardware, using our renowned Hipshot Ultralight tuning machines and a custom-made brass \"Xotic Bridge,\" providing excellent sound quality and a high level of playability that even inspires confidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The two mini switches on the top of the body allow you to switch between the mid-range frequency band (400Hz\/800Hz), which is crucial for bass sound, and the high-range frequency band (6KHz\/12KHz), which are extremely convenient for fine-tuning ensemble blends, adjusting thickness, and tone crispness, all of which can be done instantly once you get used to them. Other features include active\/passive switching, a switch to series wiring when both pickups are on, and a preamp gain adjustment trim on the back panel, making this an instrument with more than enough potential to become a reliable companion for any player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This brand's basses are designed with the player in mind, down to the smallest details, such as luminous side position marks that make positioning easy on stage. The sound of this bass is truly traditional JB sound. While many brands have recently been experimenting with different approaches, it's still difficult to find a satisfying 5-string bass. Not only is this bass highly functional, but it also further enhances the sound quality inherent in the bass itself, making it one of our highly recommended 5-string JB-style basses.
