[Anaconda Basses / Ultra J5 Essence Daphne Blue #21771023 4.07kg [new] [Yokohama Store]

Anaconda Basses is a UK-based bass brand that has received exceptional acclaim in recent years, especially in Europe and the United States.
The Ultra J4 Essence released around 2019 won an award from the prestigious bass media (Bass Guitar Magazine), and the Ultra J5 Essence was released in 2020.

The scale is 34.5 inches, similar to the F-Bass BN5 and other basses.
The scale is 0.5" longer than usual to obtain tightness, especially on the low B string, which makes it less loose and nuanced.
Nevertheless, the G string is not too tight and has a flexible nuance.

The slightly thicker C-shaped neck is designed with a flatter D shape as the high frets become flatter.
The thumb position can be changed smoothly, and the shaping is not merely uniform, but also organic, with a sense of meaning.

The neck incorporates two carbon fiber rods for strength.
I feel that if the neck is too strong, the low B and E strings can get too rambunctious, but this seems to be solved by the scale setting.

The pickup, named Tesla VRB1, is an original design.
It has a wide range with just the right amount of compression and an abundant midrange.
It has a similar look to the Delano JMVC4, but a bit more low and massive nuance in sound.

The rear pickup is in the Fender 70's position and is a major factor in determining the character of this model.

The preamp to be used with the Tesla VRB1 pickup is also an original design.
Driven by a high voltage of 18V, the preamp is equipped with a 3-band EQ to support flexible sound creation.
Excellent sound can be obtained with just a slight movement.

The character of this preamp is very unique and of high quality.
It outputs the vast low end, crisp middle, and punchy treble that bassists need.

Many gospel and R&B bassists are seen using this preamp, which is understandable after listening to the sound.
The sound has a true BASS CHOPS nuance.

The bridge is a monorail type.
The bridge is a monorail type, which is designed to create a dynamic sound with no dead spots.
The pegs are HIPSHOT lightweight type.

The overall design is well-designed, and the performance is excellent at a high dimension.
The manufacturer has a next-generation feel, including manufacturing methods and materials.

This base is highly regarded worldwide, so please give it a try if you like.
