Xotic is a brand founded in LA by Japanese builder Hiro Miura.
In Japan, it is used by Yoshiteru Takahashi, BJ of Indigo Jam Unit, and Katsuji Morioka, and internationally, it is used by many famous musicians such as Chuck Rainey, Rhonda Smith, and Travis Carlton.
This is a special piece custom ordered by GIB.
The XJ series has been highly praised by studio workers as a line made in Japan.
It's basically made in the Fender manner, but with some modern updates.
The position of the neck joint is a little different from normal, and when you hold it up, you'll notice that it's easier to get your left hand into a higher position.
This is an arrangement for modern musicians who use the entire fingerboard evenly.
Traditional wood construction with Alder body and Rosewood fingerboard.
It has a slightly longer fingerboard and 22 frets.
The tuning machine uses HIPSHOT Ultralite.
The bridge is usually an original style, but this time we specified HIPSHOT Style B as it was a custom order.
I think it has a simpler structure and feels a little more classical in terms of playing comfort.
PU is Raw Vintage.
It is handmade in California and is characterized by its clear, crisp, and vivid output.
It now expresses the player's fingertips more sensitively than before.
Neck PU is deeper, Bridge PU is more three-dimensional, and mixes have a clear and tight low end.
The preamp is an original Xotic.
Controls are neck volume (active/passive switching SW), bridge volume (series/parallel switching SW), passive tone, treble, middle, bass, middle frequency switching SW, treble frequency switching SW.
In addition to the beautiful lacquer finish, this is a masterpiece with heavy aged processing and matching head specifications.
The sound is neat, with plenty of bass and pleasant overtones.
The performance quality is also very high, and the overall level is high.
Traditional sounding 5-string JBs are always in demand, especially for session and studio musicians.
However, there are not many products that meet this requirement in terms of quality.
I think Xotic XJ is one of the products that will be the best solution to that demand.
