| Moon is a long-established guitar brand representing Japan. Highly regarded by many professional artists, Mitsuru Sudo and Larry Graham are known to be fans of the brand. (Titles omitted) This JJ model, featuring a slanted neck pickup, is highly regarded as a flagship model. This model is the signature model of Mitsuru Sudo, one of Japan's most talented bassists. The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is made of ebony, a wood composition typical of Moon. It's finished in a cool color called Transparent Red. It really does look like the real deal. The thin, flat neck has excellent texture and an appealingly smooth playing feel. The bridge is a GOTOH 404BO-5, but the saddles are brass. The gold parts throughout the instrument, combined with the finish, create a luxurious and appealing look. The pickups are the original MJB575, and the preamp is a Bartolini XTCT. Controls include two volumes, a three-band EQ, and a volume bypass switch unique to Sudo. He mixes the pickups when playing with slap, and slightly turns down the neck pickup volume when playing with his fingers. In other words, the neck pickup volume is always turned down a little, and the switch bypasses the volume when slapping. It's a practical, well-thought-out design that's typical of a professional bassist. The sound is basically a sharp, powerful New York sound. Sudo himself often uses this model for fusion music with fast passages. You can experience the tone that you've heard so many times on CD. It's amazing.
