Navigator is a brand of the ESP Group, which is mainly responsible for manufacturing traditional models.
As you can see, this is a replica of PB.
It is a PB fretless without fret line and Han-like specification.
Beautiful rosewood is rounded luxuriously.
This is an austere model without fret lines, but the dots on the side of the fretboard are struck at each fret, so you can easily find the fret position.
The unique fat and delicate sound is different from the fretless sound of the JB.
The body appears to be Sen. (although it could be ash).
The wide dynamic range and cozy nuance characteristic of older instruments ensure the freedom of the player and do not limit his/her playing.
Although it has the feel of a solid Japanese bass, this does not lead to an unpleasant sense of compression or tightness, which is to be expected!
The remaining frets are approximately fretless %.
The truss rod is a little stiff, but we have confirmed that it works about 90°.
The neck is inverted from the first to the fifth fret, and then it has a forward wave and a slight high rise. The string height is 2.7mm~3.2mm and can be played without any problem. The pegs are tarnished.
The condition of the body and painted surface shows some dents and scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
Pickup bridge fence and finger rests have been retrofitted.
