Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Sugi is a brand founded by Mr. Sugimoto, a legend who has supported Japanese guitar making for many years.
They manufacture high-quality guitars and basses in Nagano Prefecture, and are highly regarded by many musicians.
Their basses are known to be favored by musicians such as Hojin Egawa and Mike Porcaro of TOTO.
This model is the Sugi flagship model, the NB4.
The body is made of ash, and the fingerboard is maple, a classic combination.
While Sugi often uses flashy exotic woods for the top, this model has a simpler specification.
The neck is a 3-piece laminated maple type.
This technique of laminating multiple pieces of wood to create the neck reduces left-right and individual differences, resulting in greater stability.
The hardware is GOTOH, but these are custom-made by Sugi and optimized for this bass.
Despite having 24 frets, it features a sound that is not too tight, but rather open and expressive.
This characteristic seems to have a positive impact on both fingerstyle and slap techniques.
Fret life is approximately 80%.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
There are some scratches on the body and paintwork.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were observed.
Controls: Neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone
Nut width: 39.3mm
Bridge string spacing: 19.0mm
Scale length: 34 inches
Year of manufacture: 2019
Country of manufacture: JAPAN
During setup, we used our original GIB BASIC / Standard Bass Strings.
These strings are characterized by their straightforward sound and stable playability, naturally bringing out the instrument's inherent character.
These are highly reliable strings that we actually use in our repair and setup workshops.
Please enjoy these strings, which aim to be a new standard for bassists.
GIB's craftsmen will adjust the guitar for optimal playability before delivery.
