【used】Kikuchi Guitars / Custom Bass 5 Natural with Black Filler 3.695kg #29【Consignment】【GIB Yokohama】

Kikuchi Guitars is a new high-end brand created by Yoshiyuki Kikuchi (and Okada International), who has earned immense trust from many professional bassists, particularly for his work with Sadowsky.

This model is based on the acclaimed JB style, refining his previous work and bringing it together in a more modern way.

As every model is custom, there are no fixed woods, but weight is a particular priority in the body, and depending on the wood, it may be finished with a chambered construction.

This particular instrument uses Ash for the body.

The chambering process is used to reduce weight.

The neck and fingerboard are made of Roasted Flame Maple.

While creating an exotic look, the wood composition is relatively classic.

The pickups are split-coil type, manufactured by DiMarzio.

These are similar to those used in Sadowsky Metroline basses from the era when they were made in Japan.

Their distinctive features are their low noise and trebly tone.

The preamp is a custom type specially designed by EMG for this model.

It has a simple specification, boosting only bass and treble.

And it fits perfectly, as expected.

When boosting, the peak of the midrange dip is exquisite, and the sound changes to a clear and stylish one.

Yet, it doesn't lose its bass character, and retains its beautiful harmonics.

It eloquently speaks to the meaning of boosting with a 2-band EQ.

It features an extremely fast and responsive playing feel.

Yet, it has ample low-end volume, resulting in a harmonically rich and trebly sound.

This is a supreme instrument that could only be realized by Mr. Kikuchi making basses in the modern era.

The frets have approximately 90% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

The body and paintwork have some minor scratches, but overall it is clean.

The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were observed.
