dragonfly is a Japanese guitar and bass brand with a long history.
We manufacture high-quality products using the knowledge and technology we've cultivated together with musicians.
Favourite among many musicians, Teyan Tetsuya of Fear.and loathing in Las Vegas has been using the brand's basses for many years.
dragonfly offers several models, but this one is the CHB5, featuring a double-cutaway body design.
JB enthusiasts will find it easy to relate to.
The body top is made of quilted maple and the back is African mahogany.
It has the exotic, luxurious look that's characteristic of dragonfly.
The neck is a laminate of hard maple and bubinga.
The technique of bonding multiple pieces of wood together to create the neck minimizes variations between left and right guitars and individual differences, resulting in greater stability.
The fingerboard is made of ebony.
The dense, dark ebony gives it a luxurious feel.
The scale length is 34.5 inches.
The frets are stainless steel frets designed in-house.
In fact, dragonfly was a pioneer in fully introducing stainless steel frets to its basses.
The pickups are dual-coil humbucking type.
These pickups can be coil-tapped independently.

What's appealing about the original preamp is that it doesn't become unnaturally boomy even when boosted.
The slightly higher bass range of 60Hz will likely suit modern bassists.
The tuning machines and bridge are made by GOTOH.
The sound is refined, but there are certainly traditional nuances, and it sincerely fulfills the role of a bass in an ensemble.
With coil-tap pickups and an easy-to-use preamp, I think it will have a sound that will work well in any genre.
This is a modern bass with the ultimate sound and look.
Don't miss this opportunity.
