{"product_id":"868888","title":"BLACK SMOKER Trad Master Series Beta J4 (Inca Silver\/Light Aged)","description":"Our flagship brand, \"BLACK SMOKER,\" and its Tradmaster series featuring lacquer and aged finishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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, which is already generating buzz among many professional musicians for its high sense of style and high quality in terms of sound, playability, and looks, is a noteworthy brand created by three people: Mr. Kuroiwa, the representative who has been involved in the design and manufacture of numerous manufacturers and models; Mr. Yanagisawa, a young builder who creates with him; and Mr. Itasaka, a builder who has honed his skills at a long-established Japanese brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \"Trad Master\" series has already gained high praise and popularity. This model features a simple yet standard, classic specification that allows you to fully appreciate the brand's true value, finished with a lacquer coating and aged treatment for a vintage feel. It adopts the standard specifications based on the 60s JB, with an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Although the specifications are simple, you will immediately know that the materials have been carefully selected from the first note you play. The neck shape is made slimmer for ease of playability without losing the core of the sound, and the original pickups, whose power has been adjusted for this series, faithfully reproduce the resonance of the body and produce a rich sound. The setup is smooth and stress-free to play, and above all, this bass conveys the \"quality of the instrument's construction\" directly. It has a rich tone, but without excessive peakiness, and is a versatile instrument that can handle any genre or sound depending on the setting and playing style. The aged lacquer finish, which exudes exceptional taste, along with the aged parts (which, like the pickups, have been modified specifically for this series) and the vintage-style bridge, contribute significantly not only to the looks but also to a thicker, more impactful sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In terms of appearance, it features an aged finish with minimal weather checking, a matching headstock in the 'Inca Silver' color (a first for our store), and a red tortoiseshell pickguard—all custom-ordered specifications. While boasting a vintage-like look, the playability and sound pressure are undeniably impressive, reflecting the brand's pride. This is a truly wonderful bass that I wholeheartedly recommend, achieving at a very high level the ideal of \"a coexistence of vintage looks and sound with modern playability and stability.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Due to its limited production run as a handmade instrument, this highly-regarded brand has extremely limited availability. With playability and sound recognized by professionals, this bass is sure to make a big name for itself in the music scene. Please try it out for yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Wood: Alder\u003cbr\u003e Neck Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard Wood: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Neck Shape: C Shape\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 864mm\/20F\u003cbr\u003e Nut\/Width: Bone\/38mm\u003cbr\u003e Frets: Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e Radius: 305R\u003cbr\u003e HW Color: Chrome \u0026amp; Nickel\u003cbr\u003e Machineheads: GOTOH GB528\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: GOTOH VTB-4\u003cbr\u003e Pickups: BLACK SMORKER\u003cbr\u003e Electronics: Vol×2, Tone with Push\/Pull SW(Series\/Parallel)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Finish: Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e Body Finish: Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gig bag included","brand":"BLACK SMOKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67587728506993,"sku":"868888","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/868888_01.jpg?v=1790678566","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/ko\/products\/868888","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
