Sugi is a brand by Sugimoto, a legend in Japanese guitar making for many years.
The company manufactures high-quality guitars and basses in Nagano Prefecture and is highly regarded by many musicians.
The NB is known as the flagship model and is used by Egawa Hojin-san, Mike Porcaro of TOTO and others.
The body is Ash, the neck is laminated with a core of Aqua Timber Maple and the fingerboard is Indian Rosewood.
The technique of laminating multiple pieces of wood together to make the neck is used to reduce left-right differences and individual differences and to achieve a higher degree of stability.
The bridge and tuners are GOTOH, which is not normal.
They are original, custom-made by Sugi and optimised for this bass.
Despite the 24 frets, the sound is not too tight and open.
This feature seems to have a positive influence on both fingerplay and slap.
There are roughly 80% frets remaining.
