Tsubasa Guitar Workshop is a brand created by Chiaki Tanaka, known for his work with Fullertone.
He has a particularly strong reputation for creating vintage-style basses, as evidenced by his previous work.
This is The Hopper, the brand's signature model.
As you can see, it is based on a jazz bass.
The body is made of alder, and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic combination.
The aggressive relic processing is one of its standout features.
The hardware is uniformly GOTOH.
The pickups are original and carefully designed to deliver a distinctive sound.
While it has a somewhat refined appearance, the open playing feel and sound are reminiscent of a vintage instrument.
This is a masterpiece worth trying out.
The remaining frets are approximately 90%.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish have square sticker marks measuring 80x80mm on the body top and 50x50mm on the body back (they are not sticky). Other scratches are likely from the relic finish. New scratches are difficult to determine.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
