【used】HEX Guitars / NB505 Gunmetal Grey 4.110kg #HJ0700057【GIB Yokohama】

HEX Guitars is a brand based in Korea that specializes in products in the entry to mid-range price range.

They have their own factory in Indonesia, where the president himself lives there and performs high-level quality control.

They do not leave it to other companies' factories, but rather the president himself goes to the site, which is why they are able to manufacture guitars of a quality that is unimaginable given the price.

The NB505 is the bass of the newly launched "NEXT SERIES".
It is equipped with modern and comprehensive specifications such as fanned frets and active circuits.

The sophisticated body shape is made of mahogany.

The neck uses a maple and walnut laminate design.
By gluing several pieces of wood together to form the neck, the difference between the left and right sides is reduced, resulting in high stability and robustness.

The fingerboard is made of walnut, and the fingerboard radius is 12 inches, which is flat.

The neck shape is relatively thin and slim C shape.

The frets are made of stainless steel.

Stainless steel is characterized by its lack of tarnish and high hardness.

Stainless steel frets are popular because they keep shining forever and are extremely resistant to wear.

They are also used by high-end guitar brands such as Suhr Guitars.

The PU is an original single coil.

They use their own original PU in many models.

This is not to cut costs, but because they are confident in the quality of the PUs they design.

The staff, who know music and play music on a daily basis, thoroughly researched many elements such as magnets, wires, and bobbins to design them.

Equipped with an original preamp, and flexible sound creation is possible with a 3-band EQ.

The EQ frequency bands are practical, with BASS 50Hz, MIDDLE 1kHz, and Treble 6kHz.

Controls are volume (switch between active/passive with a push-pull switch), balancer, BASS, MIDDLE, and TREBLE. (The preamp gain can be adjusted from the back panel)

The balance is very good, and even if you usually play Fenders, you will not find it difficult to play the HEX NB.

The sound is clear, as you would expect from a headless guitar, but it does not lose its musical overtones or rich bass.

The basic quality of the neck is very high, so it is easy to play, and it is difficult to say that it is inferior to instruments costing around 200,000 yen.

Overall, it is a great product with high quality in terms of looks, playability, and sound.

You may be put off by the fact that it is headless, but I would definitely recommend that you try playing it once.
You will be surprised at how high the quality is.

About 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint have some small scratches, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition. The balancer pot has been replaced by GIB.
