HISTORY Jazz Bass Type Revision

History Jazz Bass Type Revision

owner: Journey D

I wanted a practical jazz bass, so I bought a used one from the old lineup at Shimamura.
An ordinary bass in the good sense of the word.

It is my main bass outside of band activities. It's my partner for recording as well as for funk sessions.
I also use it for recording "FU☆K" by THE NI-KA-SENPEIZU.
