【outlet】Tatchi Bass / 5 Strings Jazz Alder / Rosewood CAR 4.415kg #002【GIB Yokohama】

Tatchi Bass is a Korean bass guitar brand.

They specialize in producing Fender-style instruments, with a strong focus on the so-called Pre-CBS period up to around 1965.

A standout feature is that they develop almost every part themselves, from pickups and tuning machines to bridges and finishes.

They deeply analyze Pre-CBS Fenders and select the optimal woods, wiring materials, and metals.

They design each part with intention, controlling every detail of the bass production. While this kind of manufacturing is ideal, it is actually extremely difficult.

As you can see, the bass GIB ordered is a Jazz Bass type.

The body is made of alder.

The color is Candy Apple Red, and the finish is nitrocellulose lacquer.

The neck is maple, and the fingerboard is rosewood—a very classic configuration.

While the brand seems to mostly use satin-finish necks, this particular instrument was ordered with a gloss finish.

The actual finish is superb, giving it an even more traditional feel.

The hardware is original.

It features classic reverse-wound tuning machines and a spiral bridge.

Regarding the metal material, including the control plate, they describe it as "Sound Steel."

It's a reproduction based on an analysis of vintage Fender hardware.

The pickups are original single-coil pickups.

They have black bobbins and cloth-wired pickups.

While it generally aims for a vintage-like character, it has a slightly cleaner and tighter feel.

It retains its trebly tone, and the rich sound is appealing.

It's simply built with volume and tone controls, and passive pickups.

The sound is truly the ultimate JB sound.

Powerful and expansive low end, a mid-range with rich harmonics, and crisp treble.

It avoids the common problems of 5-string guitars being too dark or lacking trebly.

It has a tight feel, but the range is by no means narrow.

It has a fat nuance, yet a fast output.

Personally, I believe those are the very elements of a truly great bass.

A masterpiece showcasing the builder's knowledge and skill.

Please try it out in-store.
