Freedom is a Tokyo-based guitar workshop that has garnered overwhelming support from professional musicians in Japan and has recently begun to make a name for itself overseas.
Originally acclaimed for its repair work, the workshop now focuses on manufacturing. Their work is beloved by many musicians for its high quality and rational design sense.
All of the brand's basses are manufactured in Tokyo.
Strict quality control is applied to the wood used, and any wood that does not meet the standards is not used in the products.
It is precisely because they are a small workshop that this level of quality control is possible.
In this sense, too, the quality of their basses is fundamentally different from that of instruments made in large factories.
This model is a modern bass made by Freedom, a company with deep knowledge of vintage basses.
The body features a luxurious finish with a figured maple top, a wenge center, and a mahogany back.
The body color is late autumn.
Its extremely exotic look is truly captivating.
The neck is a 5-ply laminate of maple and mahogany, and the fingerboard is Indian rosewood.
The method of creating the neck by gluing multiple pieces of wood together minimizes differences between left and right guitars and individual differences, resulting in greater stability.
The preamp has a surprisingly strong push, giving it an active feel in a good way.
The acoustic part is so smart, you'll find this aspect very comfortable.
Despite its wide range, the sound is soft and maintains clear intonation.
The excellent balance when held will not feel strange to players familiar with Fenders, and will feel right at home, as if they've owned an instrument for years.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish have minor scratches and dents, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
