From the Indonesian made high quality cost performance Japan Tune Up Series, this 24 fret modern Jazz is the signature model of Japanese YouTuber bass phenomenon, HJ Freaks; a cos-playing cross-dressing middle-aged man with some serious slap chops!
This model is very much like the now discontinued Twenty Four, but has a unique circuit with three band EQ, master tone, passive mode and a kill switch for a really versatile sound set.
With the final fretwork adjustments and setup done in Japan it plays like a breeze!
NOTE: The Japan Tune Up series are fine tuned and frets are precisely levelled and polished for optimal play, so orders may be ready to ship in about one week from purchase.
