Below is the original description:

---

AV Basses is a high-end Czech brand that garnered significant attention when Jamiroquai bassist Paul Turner began using them.

The brand was founded in the 1990s by professional bassist Ales Vychodil.

At the time, major instrument manufacturers supplied numerous basses to the market, but none met his requirements.
To satisfy his own needs, he began crafting custom basses himself.

In the 2000s, he began OEM manufacturing for Western boutique brands, making his manufacturing expertise known to the world.

I met builder Ales at the Guitar Summit in Germany in 2019.
He's a wonderful person with a strong sense of challenge, yet always considerate of his players.

I've placed several orders with them since 2019, and they've consistently provided me with consistent quality.

This consistency not only demonstrates the brand's strength, but I also believe it's universally important.

This model was exhibited at a European guitar show in 2024, where it attracted a lot of attention.

I selected two special ones from the several on display and brought them back to Japan.

One of them is shown here.

The body features a flamed maple top, rosewood sandwiched between them, and alder in the back.

It has a neck-through construction, and the neck is a laminated maple and wenge type.

This method of laminating the neck is used by many brands to reduce differences between left and right guitars and individual differences, and to achieve greater stability.

The scale is 34 inches, and the string pitch is adjustable from a basic 19mm.

The bridge and tuning machines are HIPSHOT.

It is finished in a natural satin finish, and its simple beauty highlights the high quality of the wood.

The pickups are Aguilar dual-coil types, and the preamp is also an Aguilar OBP-3.

Controls include volume (active/passive switch), balancer, middle (400/800Hz center frequency switch), and treble/bass.

It is notable for its extremely high playability, and even those who don't normally play 6-string guitars will find it easy to pick up.

When you play it, the smooth, comfortable sound response makes you want to keep playing forever.
Similar to neck-through instruments like Ken Smith and Fodera, it produces a beautiful, piano-like sound with a light touch.

I recommend it.

Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish are in mint condition with no noticeable scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The nut has been replaced, and the truss rod groove has been machined.
