The E-AK Silver Sparkle was a signature model for Aki,bassist and composer for the Japanese band SID, and is capable of seriouslysweet rock and vintage tones in the neighborhood of a Fender Jazz bass. This bass has been carefully inspected and there do notappear to be any chips, scratches, dings, or other signs of use. All hardwareand electronics function as intended. Also, please look closely at the picturesof the pickguard. It is not blue and scratched but has a blue protective filmover the mirrored pickguard which has never been removed. A stock image of thismodel has been included for comparison. The E-AK puts down a solid foundation and sounds great bothfingerstyle and picked. According to Seymour Duncan, the SJB-1 pickups “are afaithful recreation of the Jazz Bass single coils of the early 60s. Our VintageJazz Bass pickups stay true to the originals by capturing that warm tone withjust the right amount of midrange… The neck model is full sounding, and bringsin a nice, rich bottom end without being boomy. It is wound RWRP so that itwill hum-cancel when used together with the bridge pickup. The bridge model issmooth and punchy and delivers a brightness that is a perfect balance for thewarmer neck model.” I would agree with all of that and found the neck pickup tosound full without being flabby. It does a pretty good impression of a goodquality single-coil precision style pickup when used solo. The bridge pickupadds a nice growl and definition without getting harsh. Mix and match as neededfor any tone you might need to conjure. The neck shows no signs of warping or waviness, and thefrets have near zero wear. Truss rod operates as it should with plenty ofadjustment room. Let us know if you have any setup or string preferences and wewill be happy to accommodate you prior to shipping the bass.
