Three Dots is a new brand created by Yoshiyuki Kikuchi (and Okata International Inc.), who is highly trusted by many professional bassists, especially in his work related to Sadowski.
This model is an ambitious work that fully incorporates Mr. Kikuchi's intentions, with a traditional JB motif.
In many areas, such as the angle of the neck and the initial settings, the design is more developed from the Fender style, and I strongly feel that playability is important.
I feel that this nuance is similar to earlier series such as Sadowsky TYO and Sadowsky Metroline Slap Master.
The PU uses an original design.
This PU is based on the sound of vintage Fenders used by professional musicians in the field.
This PU, which was completed through repeated trial and error, does not have a flashy sound, but it has a good balance from low to high frequencies, and the overall finish is very neat.
The preamp uses EMG's BTC.
This is equipped with a 2-band equalizer for treble and bass, each with 12db of boost cut.
The electronics are very good, and although it has a wide range, it is powerful, speedy, and musical.
Overall, the sound is well-balanced, and combined with hyper-smooth playability, it feels like a high-dimensional quality.
In this day and age, I think one of the correct marketing decisions would be to have a more powerful and flashy tone, but I personally liked the fact that they didn't aim for that.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and painted surface is in good condition with no noticeable scratches.
