This is why the 24-fret model uses a soap bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the same 24-fret model has the same PU position on the VJ as on the JB, and therefore the PU type itself is the same as on the JB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth VJ and MS are great designs, so please compare them and choose the one that best suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frets are roughly 90% remaining.\u003cbr\u003eThe truss rod is in good working order.\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paintwork are in good condition with scattered scratches.\u003cbr\u003eThe electrical system is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eNo obvious modifications were found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls : Master volume, balancer, master tone (push\/pull - active\/passive), treble\/bass\u003cbr\u003eNut width : 48.0mm\u003cbr\u003ePitch between strings at bridge : 18.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale : 34Inch\u003cbr\u003eYear of manufacture : 2022\u003cbr\u003eCountry of manufacture : GERMANY\u003cbr\u003eAccessories : Sadowsky semi-hard case, spec sheet, strap lock, wrench\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIB craftsman will adjust it for easy playability before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eserial number : #B001468-22\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.065kg\u003cbr\u003eFret: 90% remaining\u003cbr\u003eTruss rod: good working\u003cbr\u003eneck condition: Good.\u003cbr\u003econtrol：Master Volume, Balancer, Master Tone (Push\/Pull - Active\/Passive), Treble\/Bass\u003cbr\u003ebody condition: There are some scratches here and there.\u003cbr\u003eelectrical：Good.\u003cbr\u003enut width：48.0mm\u003cbr\u003estring spacing：18.5mm\u003cbr\u003escale length：34Inch\u003cbr\u003ecustom：none\u003cbr\u003eaccessories：Sadowsky semi-hard case, spec sheet, strap lock, wrench\u003cbr\u003eyear：2022\u003cbr\u003ecountry of origin：GERMANY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etext: Shunsuke Saga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspection charge : YAMAJI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIB 3 months warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship in a sturdy cardboard box.\u003cbr\u003eWe can also ship to international destinations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLINE : vwj2699r\u003cbr\u003eemail : info@bassick.jp\u003cbr\u003etel : 045 534 7133\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sadowsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41900771278957,"sku":"183471341","price":2292.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/5625\/1510\/files\/sa8165-1-1.jpg?v=1731231044","url":"https:\/\/bassshop-gib.com\/zh-hans\/products\/used-sadowsky-ml24-vj5-ald-blk-2022-4-065kg-b001468-22-gib-yokohama","provider":"Bass Shop Geek IN Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
