(Personally, I preferred the solid body.) \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.\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 at shipping is low, but not as low as a custom model, and its playing comfort is very good.\u003cbr\u003eIt is also comfortable for those who normally play Fender-style 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) (305R) \u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Tusq \u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 4st: 37mm, 5st: 46mm \u003cbr\u003eFret: 22F \u003cbr\u003eScale: 864mm (34″) \u003cbr\u003eBridge: 4st: Hipshot 20mm Spacing, 5st: Hipshot 19mm Spacing \u003cbr\u003eTuner: Hipshot License Ultra-Light \u003cbr\u003ePickups: 4st: DiMarzio 4HC in 60's Locations, 5st: 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 Body 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: Original Semi Hardcase \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Shunsuke Saga \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspection : Hosoya \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer's warranty included \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold at a special price due to long stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kikuchi Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41620714979437,"sku":"181432902","price":3935.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/Ki6350-1-1.jpg?v=1718857828","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/zh-hans\/products\/new-kikuchi-guitars-hermes-rv4-owh-3-630kg-110-gib-yokohama","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
