Kanade Gen Koubou Classic J5 Burl poplar CustomAn absolutely killer super jazz from Kanade, handmade in Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. This is one of the absolute best sounding Jazz basses I've ever heard, and the playability is insane too. The only thing is this bass is heavy, using dense ash, so it's not for the feint of heart, but that density gives you rock solid fundamentals and long sustain. Body. Stabilized Burl Poplar on 2 pc Ash Neck. 3 pc qs maple non tapered. Fretboard. Figured maple
