【used】Capurso Guitars / SPIRAL J5 DELUXE 3.98kg【GIB Yokohama】

Capurso Guitars is a high brand based in Italy that produces handmade, high-quality basses.
In Japan, bassist Yoshiteru Takahashi uses their basses.

The instruments created by builder Andrea Capurso are traditional, experimental and musical in common.
A shining concept is given shape in the form of an instrument with solid skills.

The Spiral is a balanced model, similar to a Fender, but with elements more suited to the modern musician.

Ash is used for the body, neck and many other parts of the instrument.
The successful use of ash in the neck is a key feature of the brand.

The use of a bridge that incorporates carbon is somewhat unique.
It is difficult to put its characteristics into words as it is not easy to make a simple comparison, but the light ringing and clear attack is certainly a characteristic of this instrument, and the bridge may have had an effect on that.

It has a JB-like PU and preamp, with controls for volume, balancer, tone, treble, middle, bass and middle cut switch. You can also switch between active and passive with the push-pull switch.

The sound is attractive in that it is very articulate on top of having sufficient low frequencies.
The rich overtones are very musical, light and speedy, yet juicy and delicious, which is the beauty of this unit.

The frets are almost completely free of wear, and the truss rod and neck are in good condition.
There are a few minor dings and scratches, but overall it is a very beautiful instrument.

The GIB craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and deliver it to you.
