This model is an early design type of "Moon," a well-established Japanese brand that is well known.
Many players such as Larry Graham, Victor Bailey, and Daryl Jones have been patronized by this bass maker.
The most distinctive feature of this model is the use of Bartolini P.U.
The bass has a full, heavy sound with a versatile sound that matches percussive playing styles, and it provides a bass line that supports the band with an overwhelming presence in any scene.
The body also weighs in at 5.55 kg, which is as heavy as the sound.
Although it is not as easy to handle as a modern electric bass, the fatness and power of the sound are perfect for the massive body.

There are scratches and scuffs, as well as metal tarnish due to age.
