Tsubasa Guitar Workshop is a brand created by Chiaki Tanaka, who is known for producing Fullertone basses.
Based on his previous work, he has a particularly strong reputation for creating basses with a vintage-style motif.
This is The Hopper, the brand's signature model.
As you can see, it's based on the Jazz Bass.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, a classic construction.
With block inlays and no relic finish, it has a cool, slightly modern look.
All hardware is GOTOH.
The pickups are original and designed for a solid sound.
While it has a somewhat refined impression, the open feel and sound are almost vintage.
This is a masterpiece that you should definitely try out.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
