【used】Three Dots / JB Active OWH/R 4.400kg #T496【GIB Yokohama】

Three Dots is a brand created by Yoshiyuki Kikuchi (and Okada International), who has earned immense trust from many professional bassists, especially in his work with Sadowsky.

This model is an ambitious creation that fully incorporates Mr. Kikuchi's intentions, based on the traditional JB.

This particular model is an active model and has special specifications. It's almost like a Sadowsky.

The production number is not very large.

Many aspects, such as the neck angle and initial setup, adopt a design that is a further development of the Fender style, strongly conveying an emphasis on playability.

This nuance feels similar to the early Sadowsky TYO and Sadowsky Metroline Slap Master series.

The pickups are original designs.

These pickups reference the sound of vintage Fenders used by professional musicians in the field.

These pickups, perfected through repeated trial and error, do not have a flashy sound. However, the balance from low to high frequencies is excellent, and the overall finish is very refined.

The preamp uses an EMG BTC pickup.

This features a 2-band equalizer with treble and bass controls, each with 12dB of boost/cut capability.

The electronics are outstanding, offering a wide range while remaining powerful, fast, and musical.

Overall, the sound is well-balanced, and combined with the hyper-smooth playability, it delivers a high level of quality.

Highly recommended.

The frets have approximately 90% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.
