Built in Japan, this model stands out with its open pore finish, robust EMG pickups, and modern playability.

Distinctive Features for Demanding Players

What distinguishes this bass is the pairing of an ash body and unique open pore finish, which boost resonance and add visual flair. EMG J (neck) and MM-TW (bridge) pickups with push/pull tone control let you move smoothly between single coil and humbucker tones—ideal for both studio and live settings.

Body and Finish: Tone and Resonance

Material selection and finish define the character and feel of the instrument. With its open pore ash body, resonance and sustain are maximized, while a tactile, modern feel appeals to players seeking both style and sound. The punchy, articulate response is evident when performing.

• Body Material: Ash — projects defined lows and crisp highs, with ample sustain
• Open pore finish both enhances the visual impact and allows the wood to breathe, resulting in even more resonance
• Size: Full Size — full-range tone and presence for stage or studio

Electronics: Versatile HS Pickup Configuration

When tonal flexibility is required, the electronics on this model deliver. The EMG J and MM-TW pickups paired with push/pull tone control support fast transitions from vintage jazz to powerful contemporary sounds.
