{"product_id":"871226","title":"BLACK SMOKER Trad Master Series Beta P5 (Shoreline Gold\/Light Aged)","description":"BLACK SMOKER, a brand that enjoys high trust from professional musicians and continues to grow in popularity among bassists, has renewed its Tradmaster series, featuring lacquer and aged finishes, with new specifications.\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 5-string model boasts a simple yet standard, classic specification that allows you to fully appreciate the brand's true value, and is finished with a lacquer coating and aged treatment for a vintage feel. It adopts the standard specifications based on the 60s PB, 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 is made slimmer for ease of playability, but the fingerboard radius has been changed to 250R, and the overall grip has been made more rounded, resulting in a neck shape that is easy to hold without losing the core of the sound. In addition, the original pickups, whose power has been adjusted for this series, faithfully reproduce the resonance of the body while producing a thick and punchy sound, and the string spacing has been changed from 18mm to 19mm, making it easy to play without stress when switching from a 4-string bass. In short, this is a bass that directly conveys the \"quality of the instrument's construction.\" The tonal inconsistencies that are a problem with many PB-type guitars have been brought to a perfect balance, retaining some of the wildness while maintaining a cohesive sound. The result is a superb finish that blends the wildness characteristic of a PB with modern ease of use at a high level. The aged lacquer finish, which shows exceptional taste, the aged parts that have been modified specifically for this series, as well as the original vintage-style bridge which is thinner and transmits vibrations more directly to the body, all contribute greatly not only to the looks but also to the thicker, more impactful sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In terms of appearance, it features a \"Shoreline Gold\" finish with a light weather-checking effect, achieving a balance between vintage feel and pop aesthetics. This is a custom-ordered specification made specifically for our store. While boasting a vintage-like look, the playability and sound pressure are crafted to reflect the brand's pride, which is truly impressive. This is a fantastic bass that I wholeheartedly recommend, as it realizes the ideal of \"what if a vintage low B5 string existed\" at an extremely high level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Due to its limited production run as a handmade instrument, this highly-regarded brand has very limited availability. With playability and sound recognized by professionals, this bass is already making a name for itself in the music scene. Experience its exceptional quality for yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Wood: Alder\u003cbr\u003e Neck Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard Wood: Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Neck Shape: C Shape\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 864mm \/ 20F\u003cbr\u003e Nut\/Width: Bone \/ 48mm\u003cbr\u003e Frets: Medium Jumbo NS\u003cbr\u003e Radius: 250R\u003cbr\u003e HW Color: Chrome \u0026amp; Nickel\u003cbr\u003e Machineheads: GOTOH GB528\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: 5-Saddle Vintage Style 19mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickups: BLACK SMORKER\u003cbr\u003e Electronics: Volume, Tone\u003cbr\u003e Neck Finish: Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e Body Finish: Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gig bag included\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"BLACK SMOKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67891331301489,"sku":"871226","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/871226_01.jpg?v=1793258112","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hant\/products\/871226","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
