This is an Oriente HO-25 double bass, which is currently difficult to obtain. In addition to its careful construction and ease of handling, which are characteristic of domestic production, this particular instrument stands out for its "visual beauty." The back and side plates have a prominent grain, and the deep reddish-brown texture, which changes appearance depending on the angle and the way the light hits it, is very attractive. While the grain patterns vary among different HO-25 instruments, this one has a clear, undulating grain that gives it a strong presence. It's truly a "lucky find." It's the kind of instrument that looks great on stage or in the studio, and it offers a high level of satisfaction to its owner. Of course, it's not just about looks; the sound has a straightforward attack, and it's easy to produce a core-rich low end. It's easy to grasp the intonation, whether playing jazz walking bass lines or using a bow, making it practical for use in the field, even as a first instrument. Also included is a Fishman Realist pickup (worth 56,000 yen), so you can use it immediately in a performance setting. The condition is as shown in the photos. There may be minor scratches from normal use, but there is no critical damage that would significantly affect the playing. This instrument is recommended for those looking for an HO-25 with beautiful wood grain and for those who want to play a well-made, domestically produced double bass for a long time. Please check the photos carefully and purchase with the understanding that this is a used item. *Due to the size and difficulty of shipping, we would prefer to arrange a direct handover within the area of Ibaraki to Tokyo.*
