Description

Introducing the Moon 5-string model that has supported bassist Mitsuru Sudo, who has long been at the forefront of the music scene, and has been a favorite of his throughout his career!

The body is made of alder, the fingerboard is made of ebony, and the combination of Moon's original MJB575 pickup and Bartolini XTCT preamp delivers the power and clarity required for live performance, as well as solid bass that maintains its definition in a band ensemble. While based on a bass-heavy character, it also has excellent density in the mid-range and expresses picking nuances, making it a guitar with musical flexibility.

A unique feature is the ability to change volume presets using a mini switch. As he actually uses it on stage, this allows you to instantly switch between a tight setting with reduced front volume when playing with your fingers, and full output for both the front and rear when slapping, even while you're playing. This allows you to effectively bring out the different character of each playing style and expands the range of sound creation.

The attack when playing with a pick, the thickness when playing with your fingers, and the good response and release when slapping. The design, which responds to each playing style at a high level, is the result of Moon's many years of experience in professional settings and its dedication to crafting instruments. While its appearance is standard, its interior features special specifications that make use of years of experience. This model is sure to offer the versatility and stability required of a 5-string bass.

This is a truly reliable partner for bassists who want to expand their range of expression without being bound by genre.
