Playing images

Plan B is under way / プラン B

The Lap-top style plan lay aside for some time. Investigate big-one　/ 膝の上で弾く考えは一時保留。大きいものを考える。

Suitable to play with chair
It can be used for Coffee cup table to rest in long solo performance by guitar player in a lordly manner
If the performance is too long, it helps for sleeping
If angry, roll it instead of Cajón. Itaya Kaede gives great sound! This is useful in getting rid of stress

座って弾くのにちょうどいい
長いギターソロでの休憩時間にはコーヒーテーブルになる
長いギターソロの間に寝れる
頭にきたら、カホンの代わりに叩きまくってストレスを発散する

Characteristic parts

This wood block is for Neck-end cowl, Finger ramp and Finger rest.
このブロックは、ネックエンドのカバーでフィンガーランプでフィンガーレストのため。

This is the Back support wood and it supports Bass and Player body.
これはバックサポートで、ベースとプレーヤーのボディをサポートするんです。

This wood block connects Back support and body. This block gives sustain by the adding of the neck joint thick. I think so ....
この木製のブロックはバックサポートとボディをつなぎます。このブロックはネックジョイントを厚くしてサスティンを与えます。私はそう考えます…。

This is Leg rest for playing with chair.
これはレッグレストで座って弾くとき用。

Plan-D version2, h-Bass FS(Free-Style) MAR.16.2016

Fat Mahogany Body.
Almost No Hokkaido Wood....
My policy is that the distance is between the string and the body, and that doesn't change from my first bass.
