The high level of quality achieved through in-house production has earned the brand recognition from many musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is the signature bass of Korean bassist H. J. FREAKS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is part of the Japan Tune-up series, a lineup newly developed with a focus on achieving a high level of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japan Tune-up series adopts a production method in which the instruments are manufactured overseas, while final work such as nut adjustment, fret leveling, and fret edge treatment is carried out in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach keeps the price reasonable while aiming to achieve a level of quality that is comparable to top-quality Japanese-made instruments in every respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have actually had the opportunity to see the work being done at Deviser's workshop in Nagano, and the meticulous attention given to each individual instrument is no different from that of the top-of-the-line HANDMADE series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instrument itself is manufactured in Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndonesia is widely regarded as one of the world's most highly regarded guitar-manufacturing countries, with many top guitar brands entrusting their production to factories there, including Yamaha and CORT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacchus has particularly strong quality control when it comes to its Asian production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusicians living in Japan, where this brand is readily available, are fortunate to have such instruments within easy reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the basic design of this model, it is based on the JB concept while offering an extended range with 24 frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile retaining the traditional body shape, it incorporates a more modern approach while maintaining excellent playability in the higher positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoasted Maple is used for both the neck and fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also known as Thermowood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermowood was originally developed in Finland as a material for sauna construction, and Sago in Japan later put it to practical use in musical instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermowood is valued for its resistance to high temperatures and humidity, and its usefulness as a tonewood is also evident from its adoption by leading manufacturers such as Sadowsky and Suhr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is said that a certain amount of Thermowood is discarded during the processing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresumably, pieces that are considered more likely to develop warping in the future are also screened out at this stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonally, it has a notably seasoned and mature character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is made of Alder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is equipped with original pickups and a proprietary preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controls are comprehensive, featuring volume\/tone, balancer, treble, middle, bass, a mute switch, and a preamp bypass switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top-mounted jack is also an important detail, reflecting the attention to detail of H. J. FREAKS, who is also an active and serious musician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frets have approximately 85% of their original height remaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe truss rod is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody condition: There are scattered dents and scratches, so please examine the photos carefully. There is an area on the 5th-fret inlay that looks as though it may have been corrected or repaired, but this has been present since the instrument was new.
