Specifications (MFG catalog & Actual Check)
Guitar Carte
| R.K. Herby Custom Bass Precision Model Well, R.K. Herby is the collaboration products between Roland and Kasuga in mid. of 70's. I'm not sure the reason why. Anyway, this brand was made before their Guitar Synthesizer GR series. So, I feel a bit strange why Roland didn't make their synthesizer guitar with Kasuga. Probably, there was some political (Business) reason. I could not find out the catalog of R.K. Herby. However, I knew that they made the Strat, Les Paul, ES-335, TV and some bass replica. Their Les Paul was pretty good-looking, I remember. The body was made by Kasuga. The electric components were developed by Roland. So, the PU should be different designed from Fender type. When I got this bass, the pick up was replaced with unknown brand and it was broken down. I have changed the PU to Gotoh Brand new, the components was changed to new one completely. This bass became really good tone. I have R.K. Herby Jazz bass with original PU. However, I like this PB tone is better. Of course, outlook is much better, almost mint. condition. The body is sen 2PLY and 3-4P body just like Yamaha Pulsar bass. It is 4.427g. The neck is a bit like JB shape. The nut width is 38.9mm. The frets are a bit worn, proper condition. Well, this bass is the history teller. We will ship this bass with gigbag. Enjoy real JV bass! |
