Three Dots is a new brand created by Yoshiyuki Kikuchi (and Okada International Inc.), who has gained tremendous trust from many professional bassists, especially in his work related to Sadowsky.
This model is an ambitious work that incorporates Mr. Kikuchi's intentions with a traditional PB motif.
In many areas, such as the angle of the neck and the initial settings, the design is more developed from the Fender style, and I strongly feel that playability is important.
I feel that this nuance is similar to earlier series such as Sadowsky TYO and Sadowsky Metroline Slap Master.
The body is Alder, the fingerboard is Rosewood, and the neck is Maple for a classic configuration.
The PU uses an original design.
This PU is based on the sound of vintage Fenders used by professional musicians in the field.
This PU, which was completed through repeated trial and error, does not have a flashy sound, but it has a good balance from low to high frequencies, and the overall finish is very neat.
In this day and age, I think one of the correct marketing decisions would be to have a more powerful and flashy tone, but I personally liked the fact that they didn't aim for that.
Since it's a new brand, I'd like you to try it out at the store.
This is a product that has never existed before, so I think there will be some fresh surprises.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and paint surface is that there are some dents and scratches here and there.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The pickguard has been replaced.
