dragonfly is a Japanese guitar and bass brand with a long history.
Using knowledge and technology cultivated with musicians, the company manufactures high-quality products.
Many musicians use the brand's basses, including Tejan Tetsuya of Fear.and loathing in Las Vegas, who has been using the brand's basses for many years.
There are several models of dragonfly, and this model is the CHB5, which features a body design with a double cutaway.
JB lovers will also feel a sense of familiarity with it.
The body back is made of Ash and the body top is made of Ziricote.
It has a chic and very beautiful look.
The neck is a laminated combination of Maple and Bubbinga and the fingerboard is Ebony.
Luxurious specification with Ziricote top, Ebony fingerboard and obvious upcharge options.
The pickups are dual coil humbucking types, each of which can be individually coil-tapped.
The frets are stainless steel frets designed in-house.
In fact, dragonfly was a pioneer in introducing stainless steel frets to their basses in earnest.
The bridge is a specially ordered GOTOH bridge, made entirely from machined brass and weighing 270g.
The normal is made of die-cast zinc and steel and weighs 198g.
It looks almost the same, but it is the perfect bridge to match the dragonfly concept.
The original preamp is attractive in that there is nothing weirdly boomy about it, even when boosted.
The BASS bandwidth is a little higher at 60 Hz, which seems to match modern bassists.
The sound has a traditional nuance and performs the bass role required in an ensemble with sincerity.
The sound is characterised by its straightforward responsiveness and can be used in all genres.
A beautifully designed, supreme modern bass.
Please give it a try.
