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 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 is finished in a cool color called Ocean Turquoise.
The thin, flat neck has excellent texture and an appealingly smooth playing feel.
The pickups are original Oxalis MJB575, and the preamp is a Bartolini XTCT.
Controls include two volumes, a 3-band EQ, and Sudo's signature volume bypass switch.
He mixes the pickups when playing with slap sounds, and slightly reduces the neck pickup volume when playing with fingers.
In other words, the neck pickup volume is always turned down slightly, and the switch bypasses the volume when slapping.
It has a practical and well-thought-out design, typical of a professional bassist.
The bridge is a GOTOH 404BO-5, but the saddles are brass.
The sound is generally sharp and powerful, reminiscent of the New York sound.
You can experience the tone you've heard countless times on CD.
It's amazing.
