HISTORY is a high-end Japanese brand, manufactured in the famous Fuji-gen factory (like Fender for many years).
Impeccable violin making, Japanese know-how.
Brand marketed from 1994, relatively unknown in France and Europe. And a patented system at the frets: C,F,S system, top!!
(CFS = Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.) = the frets are slightly curved to minimize the contact surface when the string and fret are at right angles. This also allows for precise height, longer and cleaner sustain of the note played and real harmonics).
An alternative to Fender, Gibson whose popularity continues to rise.
…maybe History in a few years will suffer the same fate, we must take advantage of it now…
Prices are still attractive second-hand.
*Selected and imported by us from Japan*
Model very close to the Fender Precision Bass PB’57 reissue. The original microphone was replaced by a Seymour Duncan SPB-3 = result = very powerful, precise and balanced, it provides an increased warm vintage sound. Excellent !
Perfect playability and tuning. Excellent general condition, very few signs of wear, frets in very good condition: 7.5/10 (see photos for more details).
Note that the Fiesta Red color from History is a "special option" and with an alder body on this example.
Quite rare second-hand.
