Sugi is a brand created by Mr. Sugimoto, a legendary figure who has supported Japanese guitar making for many years.
They manufacture high-quality guitars and basses in Nagano Prefecture, garnering high praise from many musicians.
Their basses are known to be favorites of musicians such as Hojin Egawa and Mike Porcaro of TOTO.
This is a special NB4 custom-made by GIB.
The body top is beautiful Maverick Quilted Maple, and the back is Ash.
The neck is a laminated type with a maple core, and the fingerboard is Cocobolo.
These are joined together with a set neck.
The distinctive characteristics of this construction are reflected in the excellent sound.
The pickups are the brand's original powered type.
They are simple passive types.
The hardware is GOTOH, but these were custom-made by Sugi and optimized for this bass.
Despite its 24 frets, this guitar features a distinctive open sound without being too tight.
Compared to instruments with bolt-on joints, it offers a smoother attack, rich low end, and refined, beautiful overtones.
These characteristics positively impact any playing style, making it a timeless instrument.
A masterpiece.
You'll want to experience it for yourself.
Gib craftsmen will adjust it for optimal playability before shipping it to you.
