【used】HEX Guitars / NB505 Metallic Rose Gold 4.040kg #HJ0602406【GIB Yokohama】

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

The company has its own factory in Indonesia, where the president himself lives there to ensure a high level of quality control.

The president himself is so passionate about the work that he doesn't leave it to other companies' factories and is personally involved in the production process, which is why they are able to manufacture guitars of a level of quality that is unimaginable given the price.

The NB505 is a bass guitar from the newly launched ""NEXT SERIES.""
It is equipped with modern and comprehensive specifications, including fanned frets and an active circuit.

The sophisticated body shape is made of mahogany.

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

The fingerboard is made of walnut and has a flat fingerboard radius of 12 inches.

The neck shape is relatively thin, with a slim C-shape.

The frets are made of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is characterized by its anti-tarnish nature and high hardness.

Stainless steel frets are popular because they maintain their shine and are extremely resistant to wear.

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

The pickups are original single-coil pickups.

They use their own original pickups in many of their models.

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

The pickups are designed by staff who know music and play it on a daily basis, after thorough research into many elements such as magnets, wires, and bobbins.

The guitar is equipped with an original preamp, and the 3-band EQ allows for flexible sound shaping.
The EQ has practical frequency bands of BASS 50Hz, MIDDLE 1kHz, and TREBLE 6kHz.

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

The balance is excellent, and even those who normally play Fender guitars will find the HEX NB easy to play.

The sound is clear, as expected from a headless guitar, but it retains its musical overtones and rich bass.

The basic neck quality is extremely high, making it easy to play, and it's hard to argue that it's inferior to instruments costing around ¥200,000.

Overall, this is an excellent product with high quality in terms of looks, playability, and sound.

The headless design may scare you off, but we encourage you to try it out for yourself.
You'll be amazed at the 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 have some minor scratches, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
