Description

This is a 5-string TWB model ordered by our store, with outstanding grain.

TUNE is a long-established Japanese bass guitar brand that offers a wide range of models with high-quality sound and durability that can withstand the use of professional musicians. This TWB model, known overseas as the King Bass, is an extremely popular model.

The back is made of ash, and the combination of the original "SWB-4H" pickup, renowned for its low noise, and the GZP-2 active preamp circuit produces crisp, percussive bass tones. The bass has a crisp, dry sound with a soft tone, resulting in a clear, articulate sound. The supple texture allows the bass to reveal its core, allowing you to enjoy a rich, extended bass. The rich, full-bodied tone, with rich low frequencies from low to high positions, sets this bass apart from other TWB basses, resulting in a distinctive bass tone. This bass is also equipped with a massive ZB bridge, adding a powerful attack and solid, resonant sustain.

By making full use of the active circuit, you'll be able to fully enjoy the low-noise, powerful, and fat sound that is characteristic of the Tune. The thin neck shape, smoothly finished fingerboard edge, and low setup make this bass guitar easy to play, all of which are unique to this brand. This high-quality guitar combines the beauty of woods, unique sound, and satisfying playability that are characteristic of overseas brands.

This guitar, introduced to us by our representative, Mr. Kanda, features a beautifully grained quilted maple body and headstock. This beautifully grained quilted maple clearly shows the company's reputation as one of Japan's leading stockists of high-quality wood. To highlight the grain, we requested a see-through purple finish and gold hardware. The result is an exquisite look that is gorgeous yet not too flashy. This popular model is a feast for the eyes and ears. Be sure to try it out for yourself.
