D'mark Guitars is a Brazilian guitar brand that has been around since 1998.
The brand is highly regarded in South America, and in recent years has made a name for itself in Europe and the USA as well.
This model is an Alpha 6 from the MASTER SERIES, specially built for Japan on order from GIB. （The back of the head is engraved with the words "Custom Built For Japan Only".)
The beautiful bass is made from a combination of fine woods from Brazil's rich forest resources.
The body top is made of beautiful exotic imbuia.
This wood may be unfamiliar to you, but it is characterised by its lustre and moderate hardness.
As you can see, it is of super S grade.
The back and core are a complex configuration, but predominantly made of Brazilian mahogany.
The neck is a 3-ply of maple and a wood called Muiracatiala.
Muiracatuara is an unfamiliar wood, but it originates from Central and South America and is very hard.
For this reason, it is useful as a material for furniture and flooring, as well as for knives and guns.
The fingerboard is a smooth-grained maple.
It is characterised by a smooth playing feel and has a special quality of playability, including in this respect.
The sound is beautiful and eloquent, with a quiet, far-reaching resonance, as is typical of a through-neck.
There is a seamless connection from the low B string to the high C string with nuances that allow the player's musical sensibilities to be fully expressed.
Although South American instruments are high quality and unique, they are often so unique that many brands have been difficult to find in electric basses, which are mainly North American in style.
However, this brand, which has gained a growing reputation in recent years, mixes North American styles with a more approachable finish.
The thru-neck trend has settled down in some places, but this is a gem that will make you rethink the style again.
We think it will surprise you in a good way, and we hope you will give it a try.
