History is an original brand produced by Shimamura Musical Instruments.
It seems to be an original brand from a musical instrument store, and is characterized by high cost performance.
This model has a classic jazz bass motif.
The body is made of ash and the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
It has a classic Fender-like configuration.
The maple neck is reinforced with KTS titanium reinforcement.
The frets are attached using the familiar CFS (circle fretting system).
CFS strikes the frets in a fan shape, making them perpendicular to the strings and making scale settings more accurate.
Original pickups are used.
The bridge pickup is mounted closer to the bridge than usual, aiming for a 1970s Fender-like nuance.
The preamp uses Aguilar OBP-2.
Supports high-quality sound and aggressive sound creation.
Another good thing is that it comes with a passive tone.
The scale is 34 inches.
The sound is tight, with a solid JB-like nuance from the 1970s.
It is characterized by the density of the bass range and the strength of the treble range, and I think modern bassists in particular will get a positive impression of it.
It feels smooth to play, and the low B sound has a good feel.
It's really well made.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The movement of the truss rod is a little stiff, but we have confirmed that it can move around 90 degrees.
Neck condition is good
The condition of the body and painted surface is that there is a dent about 5mm on the head. There is about 6mm of paint loss next to the horn strap pin. There are other dents and scratches here and there.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.

When setting up, I use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.
