dragonfly is a Japanese guitar and bass brand with a long history.
Using knowledge and technology cultivated with musicians, the company manufactures high-quality products.
Many musicians use the brand's basses, including Tejan Tetsuya of Fear.and loathing in Las Vegas, who has been using the brand's basses for many years.
There are several models of dragonfly, but this model is the SHB 5 with a single-cut body design.
The bridge is made by GOTOH on special order, made entirely from machined brass and weighs 270g.
The normal one is made of die-cast zinc and steel and weighs 198g.
It looks almost the same, but is the perfect bridge to match the dragonfly concept.
The body top is made of wenge and the back is made of alder.
It has a unique look.
Fingerboard is Perferro.
The frets are stainless steel frets designed in-house.
In fact, dragonfly is a pioneer who started to introduce stainless steel frets on their basses in earnest.
The PU has been replaced by a Delano JMVC 5.
Delano has a huge following, especially among European brands, and this PU is also used in Mayones' Hadrien Feraud models, for example.
The pre-amp has been replaced by an Aguilar OBP-3.
This is a classic for high-end brands such as Roscoe, with flexible controls and a gutsy sound.
The condenser has been replaced with an Orange Drop.
The overall impression of the sound is fast, tight but with rich overtones and punch.
I think this is due to the single-cut, tight integration and the fact that the electrical system is extremely modern and has a strong character.
The frets are approximately 80% remaining.
The truss rod is in good working order.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paintwork are in player's condition with scattered scratches and dings.

The D'addario EXL, which is trusted by professional musicians, is used in the setup.
Characterised by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is truly a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These high-quality strings maximise the performance and character of the instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
The GIB craftsmen have adjusted them to make them easy to play and deliver them to you.
