Katana Bass was produced under the Squier brand for a short period of time from 1985. Hama Okamoto, the bassist of Japanese rock band OKAMOTO'S, has used it on many stages. The new Fender Hama Okamoto Signature Katana Bass completely reproduces the characteristic customisation that Hama has done and will be released as a limited-time production model from the Fender brand. Contrary to its unusual looks, "Katana" has fascinated Hama with its authentic sound.
