NBD - Fender Japan/Bass Bros content part 2

[sPiKi]

Here's another one I bought from BassBros in March.

 

Unique bass, in terms of finish (black gold)), specs and mojo - this is the coolest looking bass I have ever owned.

 

This is a signature model of the bassist, J, from Japanese rock band, Luna Sea. It is based on a limited edition custom shop, seen in the last photo.

 

The custom pickups and reverse headstock combine to deliver a nice, thick p bass tone. Weighs just over 9lbs and a really comfortable neck which I believe is described as a soft v.

 

Again, fit and finish are first class and exceeded my expectations (bought this before the red jazz I shared yesterday).

 

Superb service from the guys at BassBros. Beware their website, serious temptation!!

 

(I seem to have overdone the portrait effect on some of these photos!)

Really liking that black sparkle finish. Is that one of the Paranormal range, or one of Will's interesting Japanese exports?

[sPiKi]

One of Will's Japanese imports. It was never released in the European market. Fender Jp seems to have virtually everything we have and then these really interesting models as well.

Yes, I was at BassBros earlier in the year when he'd just got those first two or three Japanese market Jazzes in stock. He's been getting some quite interesting stuff from the Japanese market.

 

That reminds me... I need to do a NBD post too!
