An unexpected bass and guitar 'double neck' made by Phoenix = TUNE custom brand, made possible by our original order!

Among our stores that have planned and sold many unique models, this is the one that boasts the ultimate originality! No, two? It's a bass and guitar double neck model! A double-neck guitar would be fine, but a 2-in-1 model with different instruments is an extremely valuable and maniac model that you rarely see in recent years, except for very few show models (usually very expensive...)!

The basic model is the BomberBass = BB, which is known to be used by Akito Tokunaga, one of Japan's leading bassists/composers/arrangers. This is a JB type model that incorporates the solid and wide range sound that comes from a traditional design and the high playability that is unique to TUNE. The combination of classic wood materials such as alder body/maple neck/rose fingerboard and the well-established original PU produces a sound that combines thickness and clarity. It has a vintage-like depth, but with a tight setup typical of TUNE, it reproduces an attack with a solid presence regardless of genre or playing style. For the guitar section, we wanted a wider range of sound variations and chose the S-S-H arrangement specification. Covering everything from sharp tones to fat drive sounds, you can enjoy clear and crisp sound overall. In recent years, TUNE has been highly recognized as a bass brand, but it was originally a brand that manufactured a large number of both electric and acoustic guitars and received high praise, as can be seen from the fact that there are many professional guitarists who continue to use it today. As expected, the quality of this long-established brand is enough to satisfy even pure guitarists. The bass/guitar is equipped with independent outputs, allowing you to create sounds with completely separate systems such as effectors and amplifiers, or use it as a standalone bass/guitar. In addition, the body size, which is inevitably large due to the specifications, gives both instruments a body sound that is not found in regular models, which has a great effect on creating a thick and bold sound.

It may be obvious, but what we placed most importance on was the sound and playability that served as a practical instrument, not the sound or looks that were fancy. We were very conscious of maintaining a high level of quality that could be used as a stand-alone bass/guitar in live and recording situations. Although there are certainly disadvantages such as the size and weight of the body itself (it is still quite light considering its size), the ability to switch between bass and guitar in an instant is a playability that cannot be obtained anywhere else. It will greatly expand your possibilities.

Until this model became possible, we approached several companies, including those overseas, about the same specs, but there were many brands that we were unable to order, and even if it were possible, it would be very realistic to sell it. The project was not worth the money, so I thought it would be impossible to make it happen, so I almost gave up on the project. However, TUNE, a long-established domestic brand, agreed and said it was interesting, and with their full cooperation in the design and sound settings, the long-awaited model was finally made possible. Our store was able to meet the impossible challenge of ``affordable price by extending the conventional base'' with the best cost performance. Considering that the base price of a normal TUNE is over 200,000 yen, you can understand the amazing price.

The double neck, which received a great response when it was produced at the previous TUNE original shape = TWB, is now back as a traditional type model to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Ikebe bass specialty store. This is the ultimate, world-class original model that embodies our store's image of ``good musical instruments = interesting musical instruments'' with high-quality design and technical capabilities that can only be achieved in Japan!
