Momose is based in Matsumoto, Nagano and produces high quality basses and guitars.
They are renowned for their beautiful looks and excellent sound.
It is popular among professionals and is known as a favourite of top musicians such as Kazuki Isogai and Kyohei Ariga.
The MJ24 is a series based on the traditional JB style with unique design details.
This is the so-called Show model, released in 2024.
The EWC in the model name means Exotic Wood Custom.
The series is built using the finest woods, carefully selected by the most discerning craftsmen.
The body is painted in a beautiful fade colour and the top is made of Exotic Camphor.
This is so-called camphorwood.
In Japan, it was used for temple and shrine interiors and as a material for ships.
Also, because of its history of being used as a raw material for pharmaceuticals, the colour was inspired by RPG potions. I see.
The body back is Ash in 1P without lamination.
It is a very luxurious specification, as it is really expensive these days.
The neck is made of beautiful quarter-sawn Maple and the fingerboard is made of rare one-tone Ebony.
The high quality of these may only be possible with the Shaw model.
In particular, Ebony is not available in really high quality these days.
The luxurious use of these extravagant woods is what makes the Show Model what it is.
The coating is Top Lacquer finish.
The colour of the paint changes dramatically as the top clear layer discolours.
The balance between using a strong paint such as urethane for the base and using lacquer for the top, which is related to the look, is really rational.
The PU is a Mojotone and the preamp an Aguilar OBP-2.
Controls are volume, balancer, tone, treble/bass and preamp bypass switch.
The sound has universal appeal in ensembles, with plenty of swinging bass and atacky, air-banging treble.
This is a must-try for the bassist with a field-oriented approach, as well as for bassists who want to get their own special one.
