[new] Xotic Bass / XJ-Core 4st 3 Tone Busrt/Ash/RM-R #23008 3.95kg [yokohama store]

Xotic is a brand founded by Japanese builder Hiro Miura in LA.

In Japan, Yoshiteru Takahashi, BJ of indigo jam unit, Katsuji Morioka, and many famous musicians outside of Japan, such as Chuck Rainey, Rhonda Smith, and Travis Carlton, are using Xotic products.

XJ CORE is a new series that incorporates more American nuances.
While the XJ-1T is made entirely in Japan, the Core series is made in the U.S., including lumbering, molding, and rodding, with painting and assembly done in Japan.

The original development started in Xotic USA, with the cooperation of Travis Carlton.

This is a so-called "show model" that was displayed at the Sound Messe in 2023.

The neck is made of roasted maple, as if it were a special model.
The oil and moisture inside the wood have been adjusted by a special high-temperature treatment.
It was originally used as a building material for saunas in Finland, and was put to practical use in guitars and basses by Sago of Kansai.

Instruments made from this wood seem to have a cushy feel, as if years have passed since they were made.

The paint is applied using the same method as on the XJ-1T, but the paint on this model seems so thin that even the conduit can be seen through it.
This may be due to the fact that it is a lacquer finish and not the familiar multi-layer finish.

The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is rosewood, which is extremely traditional.
The fingerboard is decorated with binding and block inlays.

The model is described as a harmony of modern and traditional with simplicity, delicacy, and expressiveness, and that is exactly what it is.

The sound is smooth, with no sharp edges in a good sense.
Yet, the generous amount of lows is pleasant, and nicely fulfills the requirements that musicians look for in a JB.

When actually played, the sound seems to be able to reflect the minute string movements in a simple way.

The fact that it was designed as a passive model that dares to exclude the excellent preamplifier, which is one of Exotic's great strengths, is also understandable in light of this.

Please take this opportunity to purchase a special one.
