Our flagship brand "BLACK SMOKER", the Tradmaster series with a lacquer and aged finish "BLACK SMOKER" is a handmade brand from BLACK CLOUD, a workshop in Nagano Prefecture, a mecca for musical instrument manufacturing where many brands are located. This brand has already gained popularity among many professional musicians for its sophisticated and high-quality sound, playability, and looks. It's a notable brand created by three people: CEO Kuroiwa, who has been involved in the design and manufacturing of numerous manufacturers and models, young builder Yanagisawa, who collaborates with him, and builder Itasaka, who has worked for a long-established Japanese brand. The highly acclaimed and popular "TradMaster" series is a classic 5-string model with simple, standard specs that showcase the brand's true value, finished with a lacquer finish and aged finish for a vintage feel. Featuring a classic 60s JB specs, including an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, this bass immediately conveys the instrument's exceptional craftsmanship, with features like a slim neck shape for playability while retaining its core, an original pickup with power tuned specifically for this series that faithfully reproduces the body's resonance while producing a full, rich sound, and a smooth setup for effortless playability. This bass boasts a rich resonance without excessive peaking, making it versatile for any style or style, depending on the settings and playing style. The stylish lacquer finish with an aged finish, aged parts modified for this series like the pickups, and vintage-style bridge all contribute greatly not only to the looks but also to a thicker, more imposing sound. In terms of appearance, the guitar boasts a specially crafted, custom-made finish, including a light weather-checked aged finish and the "Ocean Turquoise Metallic" finish, which is available for the first time in our store. While boasting a vintage-like look, the playability and sound pressure are truly in keeping with the brand's pride, and this is truly impressive. This is a wonderful bass that truly embodies the ideal of "what if a vintage low B5-string existed?" and is one we wholeheartedly recommend. Due to the limited production numbers, this is a highly sought-after brand, and the number of units available is extremely limited. This bass is recognized by professionals for both its playability and sound, and its quality has already made a big name for itself in the scene.Body Wood: Alder Neck Wood: Maple Fingerboard Wood: Indian Rosewood Neck Shape: C Shape Scale: 864mm / 20F Nut/Width: Bone / 48mm Frets: Medium Jumbo NS Radius: 305R Hardware Color: Chrome & Nickel Machineheads: GOTOH GB528 Bridge: GOTOH 205B-5 Pickups: BLACK SMORKER Electronics: Vol×2, Tone with Push/Pull SW (Series/Parallel) Neck Finish: Lacquer Body Finish: Lacquer Gig bag included
