The side position markers utilize Luminlay, clearly demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail in its construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hardware is comprised of top-of-the-line components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tuning machines are the globally renowned Hipshot Ultralite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir tuning accuracy is exceptionally high, and their lightweight design helps to reduce the neck dive often associated with multi-string basses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bridge is a Babicz FCH5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike typical saddles that are supported by two set screws, its unique structure ensures the saddle's bottom surface is in close contact with the base plate, providing support across a wider surface area. This eliminates gaps under the saddle, resulting in rich sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrecise string height and octave adjustments are possible, and it also features a string height lock function to ensure optimal settings are maintained, making it a highly practical piece of hardware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are Nordstrand Big Single pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile they appear as large soapbar-type pickups, the internal structure is a meticulously crafted single-coil design, utilizing the internal space to its fullest extent for wire winding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to the synergistic effect of the strong magnet, it delivers an overwhelmingly thick and aggressive tone while maintaining the sharp edge and clarity characteristic of single-coil pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe preamp features the MB Instrument Preamp, uniquely developed by MarkBass, a leading name in the bass amplifier world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 3-band EQ has center frequencies of 85Hz for LOW, 500Hz for MID, and 8500Hz for HIGH (each band ±15dB), a frequency setting that reflects the extensive experience of an amplifier builder, allowing for precise control of the bass's sweet spot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA major strength is that the core of the sound doesn't easily break down even when the EQ is drastically adjusted, and the natural tuning that minimizes the volume difference when switching between active and passive modes is also a welcome feature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is characterized by a moderate sense of airiness and a wide range, combined with a tight and fast attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom punchy tones that cut through the mix to warm, mellow tones, this bass offers effortless control, truly embodying the essence of a high-end, modern instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA masterpiece that brilliantly combines exceptional lightness with world-class components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs expected from an Indonesian-made instrument, it boasts a significant price advantage over other brands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a must-try for anyone who has a negative impression of lower-priced or Asian-made basses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll undoubtedly be surprised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe deliver this bass to you with the highest possible quality, after thorough re-inspection and setup by Geek IN Box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Bolt-On\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Maple Center Block with Paulownia + White Ash Wings\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Poplar Burl 9T\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 35″ (889mm)\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Roasted Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: C Shape\u003cbr\u003eNeck Thickness: 1F: 20.3mm, 12F: 22.9mm\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Roasted Maple\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 15.75″ (R400)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets: 22 Frets\u003cbr\u003eFret Type: Medium-Jumbo(2.7×1.1), Nickel Silver\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Black Block with Luminlay Side Dots\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1 7\/8″ (47.6mm)\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Two-way Adjustable with Spoke-nut\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Hipshot® Ultralite\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Babicz® FCH5 (String Spacing:19mm)\u003cbr\u003ePickups : Nordstrand® BS5 Pickup Set\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: MarkBass® MB Instrument Preamp\u003cbr\u003eControls: 2-Volume, 3-Band EQ, 1-Passive Tone (P\/P)\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Chrome\u003cbr\u003eStrings : D'Addario® EXL170-5SL (.045 .065 .080 .100 .130)\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Matte\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Matte (Open Pore)\u003cbr\u003eColors:Open Pore Vintage Natural (OPVN), Open Pore Charcoal Gray (OPCG)\u003cbr\u003eSpecial: Litelift Body Design\u003cbr\u003eWeight: about 3.8 kg (8.3 lbs.)\u003cbr\u003eAccessories : Deluxe Soft-Side Case Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Gig bag, wrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Kaigo Kawami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct photos: Muragishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer's warranty included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Warranty is only valid for purchases made within Japan)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Price includes VAT \u0026amp; Duties \u0026amp; Shipping Fee\u003cbr\u003eFree Shipping Worldwide.
