I purchased this item here before, but I'm selling it because I haven't used it and have no plans to. The product images are borrowed from the time of purchase. I only opened it to take the photos, and it has never been used, so it's brand new. The purchase price was around 50,000 yen, so this is a great deal. I use a bass with the same pickup as this one, and the sound has a quick attack and a very thick, full tone. I play with a pick, but even when I lightly pluck it with my fingers, it produces a sound that is thick enough to not be buried by the guitar or vocals.
