(Personally, I preferred the solid body.) The shape is dinky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is dinky, not full-size.\u003cbr\u003eThis is one of the differences from the Three Dots that the company produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PU is a split coil type, manufactured by DiMarzio.\u003cbr\u003eThis is similar to the Sadowsky Metroline when it was made in Japan.\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes it unique is that it is low noise and trebly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp is a custom type designed by EMG especially for this model.\u003cbr\u003eIt has a simple specification, boosting bass and treble only.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a perfect fit, as it should be.\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003cbr\u003eFor this model, there is no control plate to take advantage of the beautiful top wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe string height at shipping is low, but not as low as the custom model, and its playing comfort is very good.\u003cbr\u003eIt is comfortable for those who usually play Fender type basses with Fender-like settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision around the neck, which has always been especially highly regarded, is excellent and its quality is well demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck shape is a little flat and thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is characterized by an extremely fast speedy playing feel.\u003cbr\u003eYet, it 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\u003eModel : 4st or 5st\u003cbr\u003eBody : Ash 2-Piece (Solid) or Alder 2-Piece (Solid)\u003cbr\u003eNeck : Maple, Thin Matte Nitro\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard : Maple or Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius : 12″ (305R)\u003cbr\u003eNut Material：Tusq\u003cbr\u003eNut Width：4th: 37mm, 5th: 46mm\u003cbr\u003eFret: 22F\u003cbr\u003eScale：864mm (34″)\u003cbr\u003eBridge：4st：Hipshot 20mm Spacing, 5th：Hipshot 19mm Spacing\u003cbr\u003eTuner: Hipshot License Ultra-Light\u003cbr\u003ePickups：4st：DiMarzio 4HC in 60's Locations, 5thst：DiMarzio 5HC in 60's Locations\u003cbr\u003ePreamp: Kikuchi Guitars Original Preamp\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Pickup Balancer, Passive Roll Off Tone (w\/Pull Switch for Preamp Bypass), Treble\/Bass Boost\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Polyester\u003cbr\u003eString: 4st: D'Addario .045 - .105, 5st: D'Addario .045 - .130T\u003cbr\u003eCase：Original Semi Hardcase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Semi-hard case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText : Shunsuke Saga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspection : Iwai\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with manufacturer's warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips in a sturdy cardboard box.\u003cbr\u003eWe can also ship to overseas customers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLINE : vwj2699r\u003cbr\u003eemail : info@bassick.jp\u003cbr\u003etel : 045 534 7133\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kikuchi Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41691601305709,"sku":"181657129","price":3623.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/Ki6649-1-1.jpg?v=1720264978","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/zh-hans\/products\/new-kikuchi-guitars-hermes-mv4-twh-3-695kg-135-gib-yokohama","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
