Just like their electric guitars, electric basses produced at the Fujigen factory in Japan enjoy a first-class reputation. Japanese versions of numerous renowned brands have been—and continue to be—manufactured here. Drawing upon this wealth of expertise, Fujigen succeeds in crafting outstanding electric basses that offer exceptional value for money.
All FGN guitars and basses are equipped with the unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). Developed by FGN, this system aims to deliver superior intonation and articulation compared to conventional guitars and basses. Every single fret is embedded into the fretboard in a slightly curved pattern, ensuring that each string intersects every fret at a precise 90-degree angle. This design minimizes contact between the string and the fret while simultaneously ensuring an exactly uniform scale length for every individual string—an aspect that, with traditional fretting methods, effectively varies. The C.F.S. represents an innovative solution for fretting traditional guitars and basses; it facilitates clearer articulation and a more nuanced tone—one that adds depth to chords and cuts through the band mix perfectly when playing single notes.
The Neo Classic series serves as a tribute to vintage classics, yet possesses distinct facets all its own. With their traditional playing feel, these instruments serve as true workhorses for concert, touring, and studio musicians alike. Their solid, precision-engineered build quality guarantees optimal tone and a superb playing experience! The frets utilized by FGN for the C.F.S. are crafted from standard, non-pre-bent fretwire material. They acquire their curvature only upon being seated into the radiused slots routed into the fretboard; consequently, should a refret ever become necessary, they can be easily replaced by any guitar technician.
The FGN J-Bass embodies the perfect fusion of classic sound and modern precision. With its clear, punchy tone and excellent playability, it offers everything a true J-Bass needs—and even more. It is ideal for bassists seeking a versatile instrument that excels both in the studio and on stage. Essential FGN features, such as the Circular Fretting System (CFS), are naturally included.
