Anaconda Basses is a bass brand based in the UK that has received exceptional praise in recent years, mainly in Europe and America.
Ultra J Essence Bass is one of the most popular brands at the moment, having won an award from the prestigious Bass Media (Bass Guitar Magazine).
In 2024, the Ultra J Essence series has undergone a complete overhaul of its manufacturing methods, making further progress.
The scale is 34.5 inches, which is the same as F-Bass BN5.
In particular, the scale is 0.5 inch longer than usual to obtain tighter bass strings, giving it a stronger fundamental tone.
However, the G string is not too tight and has a flexible nuance.
The slightly thicker C-shaped neck is designed to become a flatter D-shape the higher the frets.
It is possible to change the position of the thumb smoothly, and it is not just a uniform shape, but also an organic shaping that makes you feel the meaning.
The neck has two built-in carbon fiber rods for added strength.
I feel that if the neck is too strong, the low B and E strings may become too violent, but I feel that this problem has been resolved by the scale settings.
The tuning machine is GOTOH RES O LITE.
I think GOTOH is being adopted at a high rate recently, especially among European brands. It's a sign of trust.
RES O LITE is a lightweight type, and the sound texture feels similar to HIPSHOT Ultralite.
It's not a bad thing for those who don't like Japanese metal hardware.
The pickup is an original design.
It has a wide range with a moderate compression feel and a rich mid-range.
The hum-canceling design and low noise are also great features.
The preamp that goes with this is the original AC3-TZ Active 3-Band Preamp.
Controls are volume/passive tone, balancer, middle (250/800Hz frequency band switching with push-pull) treble/bass.
The character of this preamp is very unique and of high quality.
It outputs the expansive low end, crisp midrange, and punchy treble that bassists need.
Looking at the bassists used, there are many gospel and R&B bassists, but I was convinced when I heard the sound.
It's exactly the nuance of BASS CHOPS.
Overall, it is well designed and exhibits excellent performance at a high level.
This is a manufacturer with a next-generation feel, including its manufacturing methods and materials.
This bass is highly rated around the world.
Please try it.
