There is no special need for a foot preamp, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is comfortable to hold and fits well.\u003cbr\u003eThe slightly shorter scale makes it feel more comfortable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSound-wise, it is quite close to the double bass.\u003cbr\u003eThis would not be possible if it were simply made fretless, so it is probably due to the clear concept and the high level of design ability to give shape to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has plenty of lows, which makes it easy to handle.\u003cbr\u003eWith a single piezo shot, it can be a little too crunchy, or the overemphasized rawness can be uncomfortable, but there is nothing like that with this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than using a poor EUB, I think that using such an instrument gives a stronger nuance like a contrabass.\u003cbr\u003eFor those who originally play the electric bass, these instruments are also very useful. It should be fun to play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a type of instrument that is not often seen on the market, so we hope you will give it a try. We are waiting for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories ：Original gig bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText : Shunsuke Saga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspection charge : Oshima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComes with manufacturer's warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShips in a sturdy cardboard box.\u003cbr\u003eWe can also ship to overseas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benevolent Basses","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41061049958509,"sku":"179585736","price":5902.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/Be5147-1_1.jpg?v=1708428774","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/zh-hans\/products\/new-benevolent-basses-benevolo-cinque-5st-with-hi-c-string-3-575kg-20240112-gib-yokohama","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
