Ushirokara-Maekawa


As I have stated in a previous post, Maekawa is quite a familiar face around the Combat Guitars family circle. He is a renowned professional session musician who collaborates his amazing bass ability on many different projects. He has been featured in numerous magazines, and has also been welcomed further inside the Combat camp as an instructor in the newly established Combat Guitar School.

Maekawa exclusively, and proudly, plays Combat Basses.
Here are but a few regularly used weapons in his ever growing arsenal of custom Combat Basses:

Maekawa's Combat Custom 4-String Bass


This bass's main specs include:
A solid Ash body, bolt on Hard Maple neck on a Purple Heart fingerboard.
Custom frog inlays. (Maekawa has a thing for frogs).
All gold hardware. Two Haussel pick-ups, Kahler bass tremolo bridge and an Aguilar obp3 pre-amp. The controls are 1 vol, 1 tone, 1 mid and a treb-bass stack pot.




Maekawa's main bass. Custom Combat AYA Series 7-string Bass


Here we go again with another awesome instrument in our ever growing array of AYA Series guitars and basses. This one is Maekawa's main bass, and it is truly a gorgeous instrument.
Here we have an Alder body, laminated and weaved with layers of Bubinga, RoseWood, Flamed Maple, Hard Maple, Ebony and Purple Heart.
The bolt on neck is constructed of Hard Maple, Walnut and RoseWood, with a RoseWood fingerboard.
Four Villex pick-ups, with two Aguilar obp2 pre-amps.
All gold hardware. Hipshot 7-string bridge, 4 stack pots; vol, treb, mid & bass, and 2 balancers.
