【new】Tatchi Bass / 4 Strings Jazz Premium Ash / Maple BD Light Aged 3.990kg #001【GIB Yokohama】

Tatchi Bass is a Korean bass guitar brand.
They specialize in building Fender-style instruments, with a particular focus on the so-called Pre-CBS period up until around 1965.

One notable feature is that they develop almost all of their own parts, from pickups and tuning machines to bridges and finishes.

They deeply analyze Pre-CBS Fenders and select the optimal woods, wiring materials, and metals.

They design each and every part with intention, controlling every detail when they create their basses. This type of manufacturing is ideal, but in reality it is extremely difficult.

As you can see, the bass GIB ordered this time is a Jazz Bass type.

The body is made of the highest quality ash.
Ash has been rising in price in recent years, and this model makes generous use of it.

The builder described it as a premium wood.

The color is Blond, which brings out the wood grain to the fullest.

The finish is a thin nitrocellulose lacquer that brings out the vessels.

The maple neck and fingerboard have a very classic design.

While the brand often offers satin-finished necks, I ordered this one with a gloss finish.

The finish is excellent, giving it an even more traditional feel.

The hardware is original.
It features classic reverse-wound tuning machines and a spiral bridge.

They describe the metal material, including the control plate, as Sound Steel.
It has been reproduced based on an analysis of vintage Fender hardware.

The pickups are original single-coil pickups.
They are cross-wired with black bobbins.

The overall aim is for a vintage-like character, but with a slightly cleaner impression.

The rich sound is appealing without losing its treble.

It is simply assembled with volume, tone, and passive controls.

The sound is truly the best JB sound.
A powerful and expansive low end, a mid-range with rich overtones, and a crisp treble.

It has a compact impression, but is by no means narrow.
A fat nuance, yet a speedy output.

Personally, I think these are the very essence of a truly great bass.

A masterpiece where the builder's knowledge and skill shine through.

Please come and try one out in store.
