Sugi is a brand by Mr. Sugimoto, a legend in Japanese guitar making for many years.
Sugi produces high-quality guitars and basses in Nagano, Japan, and is highly regarded by many musicians.
Sugimoto is known as a favorite of bass players such as Ho-jin Egawa and Mike Porcaro of TOTO.
This model is Sugi's flagship model NB5.
The body is made of Ash and the fingerboard is Maple, a standard configuration.
Sugi often uses flashy exotic woods for the top, but this model has simpler specifications.
The neck is laminated Timeless Tinber Maple.
The neck is made by laminating multiple pieces of wood to reduce left-right differences and individual differences, and to achieve a higher degree of stability.
The hardware is GOTOH, but these are original and custom-ordered by Sugi and optimized for this bass.
Despite the 24 frets, the sound is not overly tight and open.
This feature seems to have a positive effect on both fingerplay and slap.
The frets are approximately 80% remaining.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good playing condition, with no major warping or twisting, and is within the proper setting range.
The body and painted surface are in good condition, with a few scratches on the painted surface.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modifications were found.
