Freedom is a Tokyo-based guitar workshop that has gained overwhelming support from professional musicians in Japan, and in recent years their name has begun to spread overseas as well.
Originally highly regarded for their repair work, they are now focusing on manufacturing, and their works are loved by many musicians for their high quality and rational sense of design.
All of the brand's basses are manufactured in Tokyo.
The wood used is carefully selected through strict quality control, and no wood that does not meet their standards is used in their products.
This quality control is only possible because we are a small workshop.
In this sense, the quality of our products is fundamentally different from those made in large factories.
This is a custom-ordered product by GIB.
This is a supreme 5-string PJ model with special coloring.
The color is GIB's original metallic pink based on the Shinobi (SHINOBI) series.
The bright burgundy color is the basic color, but the finish emphasizes the grain of the beautiful ash body.
To avoid making it too pretty, we chose a black pickguard.
This could be cool in tortoiseshell.
The body is Light Ash 2P.
The wood was carefully selected to achieve this special coloring. It is very lightweight.
The fingerboard is Rosewood and the matching frets are Eternal Fret Warm.
This fret is made of stainless steel, which is one of the softest formulations.
It plays like nickel and has the eternal shine of stainless steel.
As for the coating, the body is urethane, which combines hardness, thinness, and high transparency.
We have great confidence in the quality of FCGR's urethane coating, which has a charm not found in lacquers.
There is no doubt about the quality of its texture, sound, and playability when actually played, and we do not want you to think of this point as necessarily negative.
The neck is lacquered, with a texture somewhere between gloss and satin.
If you like vintage Fenders, I think you will like it.
It is worth mentioning that it has the highest level of playability and the sound that musicians really want in a PJ.
The neck, carefully crafted with respect to Fender manner and using stainless steel frets, is truly superlative.
It does not have a particularly unique shape, but that is why its basic quality stands out.
The sharp response and speedy, wide-range sound also contribute to this high playability.
The big problem with PJ bass may be the fact that the unique sound when mixed is now becoming acceptable to PJ lovers.
The strange phase-twisting nuances are sometimes negative.
Not many brands have their own solution to that balance, but Freedom does.
For the PU, we adjusted the balance between the number of turns and the length of the wire by making one of the 3-string pole pieces a dummy.
For the J PU, it has been adjusted to be more high-shielded than usual to keep a neat balance in the mix.
This is very reasonable for a PJ style bass that cannot cancel noise in the mix.
This is a rare MIJ brand that always demonstrates high quotients in a stable manner.
Please check it out at the store.
You can feel why musicians simply love FREEDOM when you play it.
