【used】History / LH-BJ5A/R WAL Aguilar PU Bartolini XTCT mod. 2013 4.495kg #L131048【GIB Yokohama】

History is an original brand created by Shimamura Music.

As expected from an original brand of a musical instrument store, it is characterized by its high cost performance.

This model is based on the classic JB bass.

The body is made of ash, the neck is maple, and the fretboard is rosewood—a popular combination.

The pickups have been replaced with Aguilar AG 5J, and the preamp with a Bartolini XTCT.

Furthermore, the bridge has been replaced with a Wilkinson WBBC5, and the pickguard and battery box have been replaced with an ESP battery box.

The frets are installed using the familiar CFS (circle fretting system).

CFS uses a fan-shaped fret installation system, which creates a right-angle angle to the strings, resulting in more accurate scale setting.

Pulling the bass knob activates the active mode, delivering a punchy, tight low end and bright, crisp highs—a truly authentic NYC tone—a hallmark of the Aguilar and XTCT combination.

This guitar offers excellent value for money, yet utilizes reliable components in key areas, resulting in a meticulously crafted instrument.

It fully embodies the essence of an active JB bass.

Fret life is approximately 80%.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

There are minor scratches on the body and paintwork.

The electronics are in good condition.

The pickguard has been replaced. The battery box has been replaced with an ESP unit. The pickups have been replaced with Aguilar AG 5J. The preamp has been replaced with a Bartolini XTCT. The bridge has been replaced with a Wilkinson WBBC5.
