Description:

Modern 5-String Versatility. Entry-Level Price. Professional Specs.

A new 5-string active electric bass comes to the entry-level Universe Series. Utilizing the technology and experience gained from the Handmade Series, we've developed a model that brings modern specs at an accessible price. The WJB5-1DX-AC RSM/M is the first 5-string electric bass developed to meet the needs of the current diverse music scene, now available in a stunning Cherry Sunburst finish.

Modern DX Specs: This model features modern specifications such as stainless steel frets common to the "DX" model and a heel-less cut at the neck joint—rarely found on entry-level models, enabling smooth fingering even when playing at the higher frets. The slight contouring on the neck joint area also enhances playability. Stainless steel frets are used for improved wear resistance and good articulation. The jumbo-size frets allow for smooth string pressing and extended sustain, making it suitable for a wide range of genres.

Roasted Maple Series: Roasted maple is wood that has been artificially treated at high temperatures to volatilize the moisture and oils in the wood, thereby bringing the wood closer to an aged state. The aged wood is less prone to distortion and twisting. When used in the neck, this effect not only improves stability and durability but also improves sound. Producing a rich, clean sound with a vintage, mellow, aged tone. This material is generally used for high-end models, but we have succeeded in bringing it down to a more affordable price range.

Equipped with a 2-band EQ with an active circuit, the WJB5-1DX-AC allows for a wide range of sound-making to be available at your fingertips. The clear sound and noiseless output typical of active basses is one of its many appeals. Loaded with original JB-Type pickups and a 5-string bridge for enhanced low-end response, this bass delivers punchy, articulate tone with rich harmonics and excellent clarity.
