Real Bossa Design was the top bass guitar brand in the Kansai region, and its high quality earned it the support of many musicians.
Basses from this brand are used by many musicians both in Japan and abroad, including Nate Watts.
Unfortunately, the brand is rarely in production these days.
The OB-4 is known as Bossa's flagship model.
It has a small body and slim neck, giving it an overall compact design.
This sets it apart from Fenders, which are made to Western standards.
The logo suggests it's an early model.
The body top is quilted maple, the back is likely mahogany, and the fingerboard is ebony.
The preamp has been replaced with a Delano SONAR 3.
Smooth playability is a major hallmark of the company.
Additionally, its sound, with just the right amount of low end and beautiful overtones, is appealing.
I think this is a renowned brand that has been able to compete on a global level thanks to its unique originality and high quality.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish show several dents and scratches. The bridge pickup height has been adjusted 0.5mm lower than our standard to match the length of the screws.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The preamp has been replaced with a Delano SONAR 3.

D'addario EXL strings, trusted by professional musicians, were used for the setup.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, they truly deserve to be called the standard.
These high-quality strings maximize the performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them.
GIB craftsmen will adjust the instrument for optimal playability before shipping.
