【Extremely Rare, Hard-to-Find Item】 This is an extremely rare bass that's difficult to find information about even online. Please note that if it doesn't sell within a certain period, I may remove the listing. ⚫︎ Originally priced at over 400,000 yen, and even used ones sell for over 300,000 yen. ⚫︎ It's in pretty good condition. ⚫︎ Includes a set of strings. This is a 33-inch, 27-fret fretless bass with a frame walnut body and maple neck. The pickups are Citron. ~Quoted~ The "Sylph" fretless model from "Martin Keith Guitars," a brand newly established by luthier Martin Keith, who worked with Joe Veillette at the Veillette Guitars workshop. It features a small, lightweight walnut body and a 33-inch scale, which is 1 inch (=2.54 cm) shorter than a typical long scale. This allows for a moderate core sound and good responsiveness from the body and fingerboard materials, while also drawing out rich overtones due to the appropriate string flexibility. It leverages the seemingly contradictory characteristics of "hardness and softness," resulting in a comfortable tension and a fretless sound that is both delicate and powerful, solid and thick, yet also rustic and flavorful. The rear pickup, mounted at the same position as a 60s JB, measured from the 12th fret, can be used on its own with a slightly reduced tone. Playing directly above the pickup provides a pleasing tone that is satisfying on its own. Conversely, using the front pickup alone and gently plucking the strings near the neck joint produces a rounded tone with a raspy attack sound from the roundwound strings, adding a lyrical resonance and delivering a woody, full sound. Furthermore, this 4-string fretless model, despite being a passive circuit, makes you realize the appeal of being passive, without feeling the need for an EQ. ※ Please purchase if you understand that this is a used item. Thank you for looking. #Bass #Fretless #MartinKeith
