BLACK SMOKER Standard Series Beta J4 (Shake Red) [Autumn Super Sale]

Our flagship brand "BLACK SMOKER" now has the JB model from the standard series 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 high-quality sound, playability, and looks. It is a notable brand created by representative Kuroiwa, who has been involved in the design and manufacturing of numerous manufacturers and models, and young builder Yanagisawa, who co-creates it.

This cost-effective standard model has enjoyed consistent popularity since the brand's inception. Its simple, classic specifications allow you to fully appreciate the brand's true value, with custom accents added for practicality and individuality. While its ash body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard are simple, the carefully selected materials are immediately apparent upon first note. The neck shape, designed for playability but narrow, maintains the core of the sound. 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 isn't a gimmick with excessive boost, but instead delivers a fully usable sound in either position. Its rich resonance, without excessive peaking, makes it a versatile instrument for any style or style, depending on the settings and playing style.

While the TradMaster models that have dominated in recent years feature a lacquer and aged finish, this standard model features a urethane finish. While the build quality is identical, it offers exceptional value for money. The ever-popular "Shake Red" color allows the grain to show through. Its combination with the white pickup cover creates a stylish and distinctive look. This bass doesn't assert its individuality through treble attack or excessive power, but rather has a distinctive, "clear" sound that stands out when blended with other parts in an ensemble. This is the kind of model the modern bass has been looking for.

Due to the limited production numbers, this is a highly sought-after brand, and the number of units available is extremely limited. This bass is recognized by professionals for both its playability and sound, and its quality has already made a big name for itself in the scene.
