The 5-string version is also known to have been used by some of Japan's most famous players. The firm tone with a strong punch leaves a good sense of "inertness" and "gaps" that are typical of musical instruments, and the more you play it, the more you hit it, the more it responds. The signature quarter-pound humbucker produces a powerful bass and a tone that emphasizes the mid-range, giving it a powerful and clear bass sound that is rich in expression.It has a unique character that no other bass has, and is a classic. It's safe to say that it's a sound that will captivate bassists. Furthermore, the 5-string model has a 3-way selector specification, and has a series humbucker output mode from the neck side, a series humbucker output mode using a hum-cancelling phantom coil, and a parallel humbucker output mode, making it versatile.
