TUNE Guitar Technology Syncron SB-4S LTB fretless active bass - Made in Japan

This is an extremely rare first generation TUNE built in the original Osaka, factory Japan in 1983 / 84

- Made in Japan
- Hard to find Synchron body shape
- 25 fret lines, 34" scale neck with Macassar Ebony fingerboard
- Narrow 1.5" J width nut
- Tune Guitar Technology P and J pickups
- Controls Volume/Volume/Push Pull Tone for active circuit
- Solid brass knobs
- Brass nut
- Original MIJ Gotoh tuners
- All electronics serviced, new Alpha pots, new Alpha push pull pot, original capacitor retained, cavity shielded, new switched jack socket - plug in lead to enable active electronics.

At 3.8kg it's pretty light weight, and with its tiny head stock, there's no neck dive.
Ash body, super slim maple neck with Macassar Ebony fingerboard, and active pickups made by TUNE - sound wise, these are quite pretty to EMGs. The electronics feature a passive tone control, which also is push/pull which is mid boost or cut. And there are two volume knobs, one for each pickup. In the electronics compartment there are three trim pots: one for preamp gain and two for adjusting the lows and highs that will be boosted accordingly.

Nicely set up, fretboard cone levelled and polished, action at 12th fret line = 1st 2.5mm, 4th 2mm

All in all in very good play worn condition for its 40 years of use.

Comes with nicely roadworn but solid original case with plush lining.

Trades welcome, let me know what you have.
