The body is two piece light ash and comes in a variety of colors as depicted above.
The pick ups are custom shop JB-ALVs which feature hum cancelling, are hand wound and well shielded
The controls are vol, balance (notched on active model), main tone and boost (passive version)/ mid-treb eq and bass eq both with cut-notch-boost settings.
The active version sports a Bartolini XTCT Pre-amp.
Hard ware is high end gotoh GB11W heads and the 404SJ bridge which has string through capability, in standard chrome for the standard models, but the Woodline DX BGP has black and gold hardware as you can see in the video at the bottom of this page.
My Review
This bass is the best seller in the range mostly because of it's sturdy rugged neck, it's classic stylish looks, and fairly light weight body.
I own both a passive and active version, one with a maple board and the other with ebony. I have to say I prefer the maple board but the active circuitry. The bass plays very easily and achieves an action of 1.5mm without any issues. The tonal range is diverse enough to satisfy a seasoned pro and in my opinion for the money, this is the best Jazz bass on the market in Japan. It compares with Moons or Atelier Z's that fetch nearly twice the price! Full marks for the active version and 9/10 for the passive. On top of that the quiet circuitry makes for clean recordings and the fretboard is simply one of the best you will find in Japanese basses.
