The red NR is a vintage Gibson. These clips should be taken with a grain of salt due to the player's technique and the overall shoddy eq. Not to mention, who the hell knows what he's saying. All things being equal, there is nothing extraordinary about the vintage Gibsons and nothing glaringly repulsive about the other basses. As for Kaminari's business strategy, perhaps they are more concerned with selling in their domestic market instead of exporting mass produced instruments. I bet a kaminari is a better buy in Japan when compared to a US Gibson, which is probably the point of the clips.
