[new] AV BASSES / AVJ5M #2022-14 4.065kg [yokohama store]

AV Basses is a high-end Czech brand that gained a lot of attention when Jamiroquai bassist Paul Turner started using it.
The brand was started in the 1990s by professional bassist Ales Vychodil.

At the time, major instrument makers supplied many basses to the market, but none of them met his needs.
In order to satisfy his needs, he started making his own custom basses.

In the 2000s, he started OEM manufacturing for boutique brands in Europe and the United States, making his manufacturing skills known to the world.

We met him at the Guitar Summit in Germany in 2019 and have placed several ongoing orders with him, providing us with consistent quality.

This model is inspired by the JB style, but actively incorporates more modern specifications.

The body is made of alder, and the neck and fingerboard are made of roasted maple with bird's eye effect.
The playing feel of this bass is like a bass that has been played for years.

The pickups are Nordstrand Big-J Blade, and the preamp is the original 3-band.
Controls are volume (with active/passive switch), balancer, treble (tone when passive), and middle/bass.

Tuning keys and bridge are made by HIPSHOT.

The sound is smooth, but at the same time has a crisp, wide-range, powerful nuance.
