USED ATELIER Z / MAS HINO CUSTOM FRETLES LPB [05]

This is a released product by Kenji Hino, a.k.a. "JINO", who was born and raised in NYC, USA, with a father who is a world-renowned musician and a true child of groove.
This is a gem that has been used by many artists on tours and recordings.

This is one of the bass luthiers MAS HINO, who is currently active in New York City. He is the brother of Kenji Hino, who used to work at the famous Rudy's store in New York, and is a top-notch luthier whose clients include Clapton, Knopfler, Nile Rodgers, Victor Bailey, Richard Bona, and many more.
The back of the head is numbered #0004 and the joint plate is signed 0004 and MAS HINO's signature.

It has a good quality rosewood fingerboard with maple lines and a clear coating! The dot position is still there as it was when Mr. JINO used it, which is very helpful on stage.

The key point is the inclusion of a semi-parabola to add a middle component, which is essential for fretless instruments. The semi-para can be raised or lowered at any frequency, so that the low mid can be raised for a powerful humbucker-like sound, the high mid can be raised for a more impressive sound, or the wah can be half-opened for a more effective sound, the possibilities are endless!
I was also struck by the mint guard on the matching Lake Placid head, a look that I personally find very appealing.

Please experience a very precious piece that truly brings back memories of the brothers and their bond.
