(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 also 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 pre-amp is a custom type designed by EMG especially for this model.\u003cbr\u003eIt has a simple specification, boosting bass and treble only.\u003cbr\u003eThis fits perfectly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen boosted, the peak of the mid-range dip is exquisite and the bass seems to tighten up in a stylish way.\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet it doesn't lose its bass-like character and retains a beautiful overtone feel.\u003cbr\u003eThis is an eloquent illustration of the meaning of boosting with a two-band EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls are volume, balancer, tone (preamp bypass with push\/pull SW) and treble\/bass.\u003cbr\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 also comfortable for those who usually play Fender-style basses with a Fender-like setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision around the neck, which has always been particularly appreciated, 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 characterised by an extremely fast speedy playing feel.\u003cbr\u003eYet it has a sufficient amount of bass and a treble-rich, trebly sound with plenty of overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a supreme piece of bass guitar made possible only because Mr Kikuchi makes basses in the modern age.\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: 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\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: Original semi hardcase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Shunsuke Saga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn charge of inspection : Hosoya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith manufacturer's guarantee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is sold at a special price due to long-term inventory.                        \u003cbr\u003eThe product is guaranteed to be as good as new except for the appearance.                        \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips in a sturdy cardboard box.\u003cbr\u003eWe can also ship to international destinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLINE : vwj2699r\u003cbr\u003eemail : info@bassick.jp\u003cbr\u003etel : 045 534 7133\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kikuchi Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41776295116909,"sku":"182148314","price":2844.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/ki7078-1-1.jpg?v=1723380027","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/zh-hans\/products\/new-kikuchi-guitars-hermes-rv4-tcb-3-700kg-119-gib-yokohama","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
