dragonfly is a Japanese guitar and bass brand with a long history.
They manufacture high-quality products using the knowledge and technology they have cultivated with musicians.
This model is the CJ-5, which has a double-cut body design.
There is a similar model, the CS-5, but the CJ series is a model that aims for a simpler structure.
The d-fly is a model with better cost performance.
The body is made of light ash and the fingerboard is made of maple.
One of the attractions of dragonfly is the use of flashy exotic woods as the body top material, but this model has a simpler look.
The sound also has a more classic impression.
The original preamp is attractive because it doesn't become strangely boomy even when boosted.
The BASS frequency band is a little higher at 60Hz, which seems to match modern bassists.
The controls are volume, balancer, passive tone, bass, middle, treble, and two mini switches for active/passive switching and middle frequency switching.
The massive yet clear, speedy sound is a characteristic of dragonfly.
These points should be attractive to musicians.
