(Personally, I prefer solid bodies.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is Dinky, not full-size.\u003cbr\u003eThis is one difference from the Three Dots basses the company also produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tuners and bridge are HIPSHOT.\u003cbr\u003eThey've become a global standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are split-coil types manufactured by DiMarzio.\u003cbr\u003eThese are similar to those used when the Sadowsky Metroline was made in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinctive features include low noise and treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp is a custom type designed specifically by EMG for this model.\u003cbr\u003eIt has a simple design that only boosts bass and treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, it fits perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen boosting, the peak of the recessed mid-range is exquisite, tightening the bass in a stylish way.\u003cbr\u003eYet it retains its bass-like character and beautiful overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt speaks volumes about the significance of boosting with a 2-band EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls include volume, balancer, tone (preamp bypass with push\/pull switch), treble\/bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the string height is low at the time of shipment, it's not as low as a custom model, and the playing feel is extremely good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will likely be comfortable even for those who normally play Fender basses with Fender-like settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision around the neck, which has long been highly praised, is excellent, and this quality is fully demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck shape is slightly flat and thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is characterized by an extremely fast, speedy playing feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet it still has ample bass tones, producing a treble sound rich in overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a supreme guitar, made possible only by Mr. Kikuchi building basses in the modern era.\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 (with pull switch for preamp bypass), Treble\/Bass Boost\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Polyester\u003cbr\u003eStrings: 4th string: D'Addario .045 – .105, 5th string: D'Addario .045 – .130T\u003cbr\u003eCase: Original semi-hardcase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIB craftsmen will adjust the instrument for optimal playability before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Semi-hardcase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Shunsuke Saga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuality Inspector: Hayakawa\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photos: Miura\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer's warranty included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◯ About the GIB and TONIQ Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Lifetime free maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstruments purchased from our store are eligible for lifetime free \"\"string vibration setup\"\" (normally ¥4,400).
