Black Smoker is a handmade brand launched in 2016 by BLACK CLOUD, a workshop in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture.

The instruments, crafted by two highly experienced builders, are favored by numerous professional musicians, including Shunsuke Ochi, Futoshi Sakai, and Ren Yamamoto.

This model is a 5-string PB model from the high-end TRAD MASTER series.

The body is made of alder, and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic wood combination.

The finish is entirely lacquer, with a beautiful aging treatment.

The sound and playability are also traditional.

The pickups are original.

It has a rich low end, which is useful for positioning the bass in an ensemble.

Furthermore, despite being a 5-string bass, the punchy E string is reminiscent of a 4-string bass, which is also appealing.
