A Japanese 6-String Designed for Current Demands
Made in Japan, this 6-string bass adopts a clearly "performance" approach: meticulous finishes, optimized playability, and hybrid electronics (magnetic + piezo). The whole package targets bassists seeking fast response, clear definition across the entire range, and a premium aesthetic, featuring an elegant and contemporary Autumn Leaf Burst Matte finish.
For Which Bassist and Styles?
This 6-string is mainly aimed at intermediate to expert musicians who utilize the wide range (highs on the C string, deep lows on the B string). It is particularly suited for styles requiring precision and articulation: modern metal, prog, fusion, gospel, neo-soul, or studio work, where percussive lines, chords, and melodic playing alternate. The factory tuning C-G-D-A-E-B (strings 1 to 6) immediately highlights this versatility.
The Sound
The two passive EMG 45HZ pickups deliver a tight, precise, and balanced sound, with clean lows and clear mids, ideal for staying defined in a dense mix. The quilted/flamed maple combination enhances attack and clarity, while the 5-piece neck contributes to stable and consistent response. The Hipshot bridge equipped with a Graph Tech Ghost Saddle pickup adds a brighter, more "acoustic" piezo dimension, very useful for adding snap, presence, or more organic textures alongside the magnetic pickups. The Graph Tech Ghost modular system and its EQ provide real shaping flexibility, from modern percussive tones to airier colors.
