Real Bossa Design was the top bass guitar brand in the Kansai region, and its high quality earned it the support of many musicians.
Bass guitars from this brand are used by many musicians both in Japan and abroad, including Nate Watts.
Unfortunately, the brand is rarely in production these days.
The OB-4 is known as Bossa's flagship model.
It has a small body and slim neck, giving it an overall compact design.
This distinguishes it from Fenders, which are made to Western standards.
The logo and control specifications suggest this is an early model.
The body top is quilted maple, the back is likely mahogany, and the fingerboard is ebony.
Smooth playability is a major characteristic of the company.
Additionally, the sound has just the right amount of low end and beautiful overtones, making it an appealing choice.
I believe this renowned brand has been able to compete on a global level thanks to its unique originality and high quality.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish show several dents and scratches. The bridge pickup height has been adjusted 0.5mm lower than our standard to match the screw length.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.

D'addario EXL strings, trusted by professional musicians, were used for the setup.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, they truly deserve to be called the standard.
These high-quality strings maximize the instrument's performance and character, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB craftsmen will adjust them for ease of play before shipping.
