This model is a NYC Empire 4-string bass that is manufactured in Japan and has both high quality and a practical price.

Based on the serial number, it is expected to be manufactured in the 2010s.

The body is made of Ash and the fingerboard is made of Ebony wood.

In terms of sound, it has a fairly classic texture and is very straightforward.
It looks like it's made in Japan, and I'm impressed by its stress-free playing feel and smooth sound.

Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is generally straight and has good playability.
The condition of the body and paint surface is that there are some scratches, but overall it shows little signs of use and is in good condition.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.

Controls: Neck pickup volume/master tone, bridge pickup volume (push/pull to switch between active/passive), treble, bass
Nut width: 39.5mm
Bridge string pitch: 19.0mm
Scale: 34Inch
Year of manufacture: unknown
Country of manufacture: JAPAN

For setup, we use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.

GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.
