It is relatively flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tuners and bridge are HIPSHOT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pitch between strings at the bridge is 19mm.\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is finished relatively slim, so it does not seem as big as the image, rather, I think the clean feeling in the right hand is positive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PU is a split coil type, manufactured by DiMarzio.\u003cbr\u003eThis is also similar to what Sadowsky Metroline used to be made in Japan.\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes it unique is that it is low noise and trebly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassive pickups for 5-string JBs often do not have the treble of 4-string JBs.\u003cbr\u003eSuch a point is not felt to be lacking here. It is attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp is a custom type designed by EMG especially for this model.\u003cbr\u003eIt is a simple spec that boosts bass and treble only.\u003cbr\u003eThis fits perfectly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen boosted, the peak of the mid-range concave is exquisite, and the bass seems to tighten up in a stylish manner.\u003cbr\u003eYet, it does not lose its bass-like character and retains a beautiful overtone feel.\u003cbr\u003eThis is an eloquent example of what boosting with a 2-band EQ can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls are volume, balancer, tone (preamp bypass with push\/pull SW), treble\/bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe string height is extremely low at shipping, and even in that state the strings swing widely, with no odd glitches in all positions.\u003cbr\u003eThe precision around the neck, which has always been particularly appreciated, is excellent, and the quality of the neck is well demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck shape is a little flat and thin.\u003cbr\u003eIt feels like a trendy shape for a 5-string JB in recent years.\u003cbr\u003eOne of the factors that makes the difference between 4-string and 5-string JBs is the difference in neck mass.\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is thinner and narrower, and this design makes it feel less like a 5-string bass in a good way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is characterized by an extremely fast speedy playing feel.\u003cbr\u003eYet, it also has a sufficient amount of bass, and is finished with a trebly sound rich in overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a supreme bass made possible by Mr. Kikuchi's modern bass production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories : Semi-hard case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Shunsuke Saga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with manufacturer's warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipped in a sturdy cardboard box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kikuchi Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41710388183149,"sku":"181742718","price":7092.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/Ki6756-1-1.jpg?v=1720862181","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/zh-hans\/products\/new-kikuchi-guitars-custom-bass-5-flame-maple-trans-red-gib-yokohama","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
