(After testing, I decided to use Wilkinson.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, I feel that this bass has achieved a high level of perfection as a vintage replica that is unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is treble-heavy, but has density in the lows, and although it feels light to play, the sound coming out of the speakers is inversely proportionally loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a truly wonderful piece.\u003cbr\u003eI would like to let musicians around the world know that basses like this can be made in Japan as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI hope that all Japanese people will be able to play one in the store as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a side note, I have fond memories of Carlos, the craftsman who created this aged guitar and who was my boss when I was at Fender.\u003cbr\u003eWe had a mutual acquaintance, and in 2019, he invited me to his home in California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the time, he wasn't a master builder yet, but he worked as a member of the Custom Shop and made some incredible guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI feel a connection with Carlos, as his apprentice has joined Sago.\u003cbr\u003eCarlos is currently working under his own brand, Castedosa Guitars. Check it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar will be adjusted by a GIB craftsman to make it easier to play before it is delivered to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Gig bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Saga Shunsuke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspector: Miura\u003cbr\u003eProduct photos: Wakatsuki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◯ About GIB, TONIQ warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Maintenance free forever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor instruments purchased at our store, you can use the \"\"string vibration setup\"\" (usually 4,400 yen) free of charge forever.
