Crews Maniac Sound NPB Custom 2017 MIJ – Capri Orange – Boutique P-Style w/ Case

Description

Crews Maniac Sound NPB Custom from 2017, built in Japan by a respected Tokyo boutique workshop known for high-end custom instruments and precise craftsmanship.

This is a custom-built Precision-style bass with a modern boutique execution. While visually rooted in the classic P-Bass formula, the instrument reflects a higher level of refinement in materials, construction, and overall feel compared to standard production models.

The alder body paired with a maple neck and fingerboard delivers a tight low end, articulate attack, and focused midrange presence. The instrument resonates well acoustically, indicating a well-selected and properly aged wood set.

Crews’ proprietary spiral bridge design contributes to improved sustain and a slightly firmer string tension feel, enhancing note definition and consistency across the register.

Overall, a clean, no-nonsense boutique P-style bass — built with intention, not marketing.
