Sugi is a brand by Mr. Sugimoto, a legend who has supported Japanese guitar making for many years.
We manufacture high quality guitars and basses in Nagano Prefecture, and are highly valued by many musicians.
NB is known as a flagship model and is known to be used by Hojin Egawa, Mike Porcaro of TOTO, and others.
The body top is Black Persimmon and the back is Korina 2P.
It has an exotic look.
The neck has a Timeless Timber Maple core and the fingerboard is Ebony.
The method of making a neck by gluing multiple pieces of wood together is a method to reduce left-right differences and individual differences, and to obtain higher stability.
GOTOH is used for the bridge and tuner, but these are not normal.
It was originally custom made by Sugi and is optimized for this bass.
Even though it has 24 frets, it has a distinctive sound that feels open without being too tight.
I feel that this feature has a positive impact on both finger play and slap.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and painted surface is in good condition overall, although there are some minor scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.

For setup, we use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.
