Real Bossa Design (Bossa) is the top bass brand in the Kansai region, and its high quality has earned it the support of many musicians.
Basses from this brand are used by many musicians both in Japan and abroad, including Nate Watts.
Unfortunately, the brand is not in operation much these days.
The OB-5 is known as Bossa's flagship model.
Looking at the logo, it seems to be an early work.
It has a small body and slim neck, and an overall compact design.
This is a point that differs from Fender, which is made to Western standards.
The body is made of ash, and the neck and fingerboard are made of ebony, which are popular specifications.
This is a fretless model.
Smooth playability is a major feature of the company.
In addition, it is attractive to have a sound with just the right amount of low end and beautiful overtones.
I think it is a famous brand that has been able to compete on a global level thanks to its originality and high quality.
The truss rod is in a stiff condition, but it has been confirmed to operate at about 90 degrees.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint have minor scratches and signs of use.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The preamp has been replaced with a Delano SONAR 3.
All control knobs have been replaced.

D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians, is used for setup.
It features a powerful attack and rich overtones, making it a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These high-quality strings bring out the best in the performance and character of the instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB's craftsmen will adjust them to make them easier to play before delivering them to you.
