    📚Description: Fender Japan has been cooking up some great new models including a "larimar" white burst finish. EU is getting "cheap" Squier Antiguas with CME in the USA apparently stocking them too in the future. These are some pretty cool offerings in my opinion. Always love checking in on Fender Japan

    The Kazuki Arai bass is extremely interesting for its electronics. Normally in an active Fender Jazz bass, you have Master Volume, Master pickup blend with center detent, and three-band EQ (one stacked knob and one non-stacked knob comprising of bass, mid and treble, in addition to the active/passive toggle switch.)
    So…
    This bass has TWO stacked knobs. I wonder what that fourth knob is? Sweepable or user-definable mid frequency sweep like the active Sire basses have????
    I wonder.

    Those fender locking tuners: the top with the slot has the hole for the string in it. Put the string through and hold the string. Now the top can’t turn. Turn the tuning key to lock it.
    It’s a truly excellent design (made in Japan) and actually the opposite of the PRE design.

      I love my Gibsons, but I love my Tokai, Grecos and Aria Pro ii Les Pauls. Especially the late 70’s and early to mid 80’s ones. But we all know the bully on the block loves to lawsuit competition out of the way. But Japanese craftsmanship is second to none. That’s why Trogly prefers Japanese Fenders over American made Strats and Teles. But being a Gibson channel he can ill afford to review Japanese Les Pauls. Just saying…

    Well I was intrigued, until I saw the neck spec is a modern “C”. Yeah I know fender guitars are designed so that you can change the necks out easily for most models. I could easily take a spare neck of my own choice and preferences and replace it on the body if I wanted to, but the modern c shape is just not comfortable for my hands. I have pretty sizable palms. Really though, it’s also the cut on that shape as well as the lack of shoulder that feels off. Thin necks seems to work better with the D shape for me personally.
    If fender made the U and V, HELL even the D and 60s C shape necks shaped more accessible beyond replacement parts for their player’s series, I’d be into Fender more. Sadly I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I’d probably buy one of the traditional II models from Fender Japan before one of these hybrids since they are equipped with U shaped necks.

Look at the body shape, the headstock, pickguard, etc. My best guess: it's a Partscaster. Am I wrong? One thing I do know is hes getting a nasty tone out of it during the solo. If you could reach out and touch the tone of that solo, it'd probably leave a jagged gash in your hand. Love it
