This is a Wishbass lobe. I purchased it from an overseas通販 site because it was popular in Japan for a while, and I didn't particularly like existing fretless basses. The following is the manufacturer's description: A musical instrument brand and the general term for its basses, led by American luthier Stephen Wishnevsky. Manufacturer Introduction ・No truss rod, no frets, and no paint are the basics. ・Basically, an extremely thick through-neck. ・Slot head like a classical guitar. ・The quality and construction of each product are not necessarily meticulous, and uneven paint and cracks in the wood are considered part of the product's specifications. Features The sound quality is extremely natural and woody. It is said to be due to the extremely high ratio of wood, or to the skill of the instrument maker himself, but what can be said for sure is that Wishbass, while appearing rustic at first glance, is refined as an instrument. That's all. As mentioned in the manufacturer's introduction, there are many parts of the construction that are quite crude. However, the sound is almost identical to that of an upright bass, and it was very useful in the jazz scene. In addition, the following adjustments have been made: ・Light fingerboard correction ・Re-forming of the nut groove and nut ・Light grooving of the bridge ・Simple adjustment with round strings ・Changes to wiring, pots, and jacks This bass is rarely available in Japan, so how about it for those who are starting fretless bass or those who have been looking for one? Please consider carefully when purchasing, as the roughness of the wood construction is a product specification. Thank you. Electric Bass Wishbass Fretless Bass
