Taka Hirose's Bass Guitars
"It’s hard to improve on the classics, and that’s exactly what Taka has in his 1968 Jazz Bass. “Before a gig one day I was in second-hand music shop, and tried this Jazz Bass,” he tells us. “It was so nice and so good – but I didn’t have time to buy it because I had to go back to the venue to do a soundcheck, and I never got it! “So from then on I’m thinking, ‘I wish I’d bought that’. Then when me and Grant went down to Denmark Street after Comfort In Sound was a success, I was determined that I was going to find a Jazz Bass! So I found this 1968 model that was in great condition. I love everything about it!"
Taka made this bass in tribute to EVH under his Rebirth brand. He now regularly uses it live.
