dragonfly is a Japanese guitar and bass brand with a long history.
They manufacture high-quality products using the knowledge and technology they've cultivated together with musicians.
Favored by many musicians, dragonfly basses have been used by many years, including Teyan Tetsuya of Fear.and loathing in Las Vegas.
dragonfly offers several models, but this one is the CS 5, featuring a double-cut body design.
JB enthusiasts will find it appealing.
The body is alder and the fingerboard is pau ferro.
The flattened color gives it a simple impression.
Judging from its use, it appears to have been refretted.
As a result, playability is impeccable.
An attractive feature of the original preamp is that it doesn't become unnaturally boomy even when boosted.
The slightly higher bass range of 60 Hz will likely suit modern bassists.
All hardware is made by GOTOH.
The sound is refined, but there is certainly a traditional nuance to it, and it sincerely fulfills the role of bass in an ensemble.
It is characterized by its straightforward responsiveness, and I think it is a sound that can be used in any genre.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint show signs of use, with dents, scratches, and peeling paint. There is also dullness on the metal parts. There is a crack in the jack area and a split in the body that appears to have been caused by a hard hit. At present, there is no sign of the jack coming loose, and it performs well in normal playability. Overall, it shows considerable signs of use.
The electrical system is in good condition.
It appears to have been refretted.
