Description
A popular P-bass with a nut width similar to that of a jazz bass!
One of the most influential bassists active in the contemporary Japanese music scene. Born in 1991, Hama Okamoto formed the band Zutto Zuretels in 2008. Since 2009, as a member of OKAMOTO'S, he has been actively producing albums and participating in overseas tours. He has achieved great success at numerous festivals and live events.
His playing style is said to be self-taught, but he has an exquisite sense of timing and expressive phrasing that sings eloquently, making him a talented player who is beyond the reach of most Japanese people. His skills were quickly recognized, and in 2013 he signed an endorsement contract with Fender. His signature model, which was released at the end of 2015, has now been re-released in a new Made in Japan specification.
Recent Japanese-made Fender models, such as the MIJ Traditional Series and MIJ Hybrid Series, have undergone major updates to their manufacturing process under the technical guidance and supervision of Chris Fleming, a former senior master builder at the Custom Shop.
This instrument is based on the 1968 Fender Precision Bass, which is the main instrument used by HAMA OKAMOTO. With the theme of "an easy-to-play Precision Bass that has never existed before," it features a jazz bass-style slim neck. In addition to vintage-style round paddle pegs and bridge cover, the finish is distinctive with its vibrantly colored basswood body and the so-called "red tortoiseshell" pickguard.

Let customers speak for us
Very quick mailing/delivery … packaged very thoroughly with abundance of bubble wrap 👍 the item in pristine condition… very easy and professional transaction… all the way from Japan even! Would definitely do business with them again.
Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!
I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
