【Special Lightweight Design】Freedom Retro JB Freedom FCGR

This is a Freedom Custom Guitar Research retrospective series JB.

It features a rare combination of an ash body and rosewood fingerboard. I personally love this combination, and this instrument is a wonderful example that truly captures the best of both worlds.

This is a lightweight instrument in the high 3kg range, with a custom order color (Burgundy Mist Pink). It's a fantastic bass that balances sound, playability, and aesthetics.

The sound is speedy yet truly vintage, allowing it to blend well within an ensemble while still asserting itself.
Thanks to its speedy articulation, playing is stress-free, delivering a vintage tone with presence and a solid core. Combined with FCGR's signature delicious midrange and alluring character, it offers an overwhelmingly satisfying playing experience.
It's a sound typical of FCGR, with a bass that envelops the space and clarity in the notes that makes pitch easy to discern. It produces a great sound no matter how you play it, but it feels particularly sensitive to picking nuances.

The thick clear pickguard enhances both appearance and ease of slap playing (pull-offs).
Additionally, while the retrospective series pickguards typically need to be removed for truss rod adjustment, this instrument comes with a modified pickguard that allows for adjustment with it still attached.

The body is finished with poly, and the neck is finished with lacquer.
The body's finish is FCGR's signature ultra-thin coating, allowing you to clearly feel the texture of the wood grain when you touch it. The feel is close to an oil finish, offering a pleasant, smooth sensation.
