Moon is a leading, long-established guitar brand in Japan.
Highly regarded by many professional artists, Mitsuru Sudo and Larry Graham are known to be fans of the brand. (Titles omitted)
This model is a signature model of Mitsuru Sudo, one of Japan's leading and most talented bassists.
The body is made of alder, and the fingerboard is ebony, a wood combination typical of Moon guitars.
It's finished in a cool Ocean Turquoise color.
The thin, flat neck has an excellent texture and offers a smooth playing feel.
The pickups are original H.Y.G JB5s, and the preamp is a Bartolini XTCT.
The controls consist of two volume controls, a three-band EQ, and a volume bypass switch, a feature unique to Sudo.
He mixes the pickups when slapping, and slightly reduces the neck pickup volume when fingerpicking.
In other words, the neck pickup volume is always slightly reduced, and the switch bypasses the volume when slapping.
This bass has a practical and well-thought-out design, typical of a professional bassist.
The bridge is a GOTOH 404BO-5, but the saddles are brass.
The sound is basically a sharp and powerful NY sound.
You can experience that tone you've heard countless times on CDs.
