It has a straightforward jazz bass sound and is safe to use.
Thanks to the CFS fret technology, it feels easier to play than other companies' jazz bass types.
It is like a tool that you never get tired of.

I wanted a practical jazz bass, so I bought a used one from the old lineup at Shimamura.
An ordinary bass in the good sense of the word.
It is my main bass outside of band activities. It's my partner for recording as well as for funk sessions.
I also use it for recording "FU☆K" by THE NI-KA-SENPEIZU.
