Gaucho 5 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Sold to DEEPBASS, very nice chap, will love it I'm certain! Tune Technology: these were originally built in a well-known factory in Japan and quite sought after. The company split and one group started manufacturing these elsewhere Korea or Indonesia not sure? These were not as highly revered due to the lower rent hardware used in this change-over period. This has a Japanese body and neck rescued from the factory with superior fittings most added by the original owner: Mk2 Bart pickups, Glock 3 band Pre, Gotoh tuners, Schaller bridge, brass nut! 19 mm spacing, extremely slim neck, 24 frets, Flamed Maple top. Couple of small marks in the back of the body, but in excellent nick, neck is ultra-slim! Unfortunately I've not found the time to progress with 6 strings , as nine years after changing exclusively to 5'vers I'm still learning! Cash is King, but I could find room for a another Lakland or Jazzy , maybe PBass 5'ver? will trade up or down, Collection or nearby meet only.

Gaucho 5 Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi Stingray, Couldn't agree more and thanks buddy! Took me a long time to find something with the 19mm string spacing and a slim. playable neck to dip my toe in with a 6'er! Gaucho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassbandit Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 These tunes are stunning to look at and play aswell as any high end bass out there. And that price is criminal for the jpn models.its a shame that necks scares me more than the mrs running at me with a strap on 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho 5 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Thanks Bassbandit…… How fast can you run??? The neck incidentally albeit wide is extremely slim, if you prefer 19mm spacing it is easy to get on with. Gaucho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaucho 5 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 TBH I was gobsmacked as my shoulder made it the second lightest bass I've owned in years, only a Jabba Custom I had felt lighter! Must be the balance of the instrument? Gaucho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldman Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thanks, it’s 35” I’m looking for. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho 5 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Having a bit of a mare with weights & measures! From inside the top nut to the front of the bridge saddles I make it 34.25 as with a Jabba for example, take it to the string appearing up to the lower section of the saddle (just above the speaking length) it is 35? So I would say 34.25? Gaucho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biro Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I’d be over it in a heartbeat if I could just manage to sell the ones I have for sale. Japanese Tunes are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 So if your Tune is out of tune is a quantum dissonance created? (Asking for a friend.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho 5 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Will give it a play as it's been in its case for a while now and unlikely to be in tune, that and randomly wiggle those peg things at the end of the neck, then see what happens...…..stand by?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
