Description

The Tune Zi III Japan electric bass is a testament to craftsmanship from the heart of Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, where the brand has been crafting beloved basses since 1983. This model features a thru-neck design that enhances sustain and resonance, making it an exceptional choice for bassists seeking dynamic performance and versatility. The harmonious blend of Hawaiian Koa and Mahogany for the body, combined with a Maple neck and Ebony fingerboard, delivers a rich tonal palette that is both warm and articulate.

Equipped with EMG pickups, the Tune Zi III offers a super wide range of sound with impressive clarity and speed, catering to a variety of musical styles. Its ergonomic design ensures an excellent body balance and high playability, even for those transitioning from a Fender bass. The controls for balancer, master volume, bass, middle, and treble provide intuitive sound shaping, allowing musicians to tailor their tone precisely.

Despite the well-loved appearance, with natural wear like peeling paint and shiny neck spots from years of play, the instrument remains in excellent working condition. The truss rod operates smoothly, and the frets, although 70% remaining, maintain great playability. The Tune Zi III is not just a bass; it’s a seasoned companion ready for its next musical journey.
