Three Dots is a new brand created by Yoshiyuki Kikuchi (and Okada International), who has earned the utmost trust from many professional bassists, particularly for his work with Sadowsky basses.
This model is based on the Musicman Stingray and is an ambitious creation that fully incorporates Kikuchi's vision.
The design is an evolution of Fender style in many aspects, such as the neck angle and initial settings, and you can really sense the importance placed on playability.
This nuance seems to share some similarities with series such as the early Sadowsky TYO and Sadowsky Metroline Slap Master.
The pickups have been newly designed and developed over time.
The sound is characterized by a pronounced fat low-end nuance of the vintage Stingray.
The default wiring is parallel, just like the Stingray, but pulling up the tone knob changes the wiring to series, producing a more powerful sound.
The sound is reminiscent of pushing the EQ on a Stingray.
Even though it's passive, it still has that distinct Stingray feel.
It's an ambitious product with great potential, giving the impression of a Stingray properly rebuilt for the modern era.
The cavity is pre-drilled wide, and there's even space for a battery.
This means that it will be easy to install a preamp in the future.
For example, a Bartolini TCT or Aguilar OBP1-1 can be installed with no modifications, just wiring.
Of course, we can also deliver the guitar with these pre-installed.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint have some minor scratches, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
