Sugi NB5C RW AL
Description
SugiNB5CRW AL
Under the leadership of master craftsman Makoto Sugimoto, who has been involved in making musical instruments for over 30 years, Sugi is made using quality materials collected from all over the world.
Japan's world-renowned high-end bass brand has impressed many professional bassists with its luxurious looks and natural sound created with unique know-how. Gesu's ultimate maiden. NB4's custom model is also used by employees such as holiday section managers.
This time, we have arrived the NB5, a 5-string model with a calm look and a distinctive wood grain on the top.
There is no spec sheet, so detailed specifications are unknown.
I feel like the top of the alderback is some kind of wood, but it may not be the same.
However, the model number written on the neck pocket was probably NB5CRW AL.

Maybe, but is the top wood rosewood? I feel that way, but I don't know the details.
The pickup is also an original design, equipped with SB-85WJP-N&B. The powerful output that you can't believe is a passive bass is the true essence of Sugi.
It has been processed and set up so that the player can concentrate on creating music without feeling stressed during performance, and the expression of each piece of precious wood and the individuality of the wood composition shine through.
It's a 5-string with an extremely clear sound and a strength that makes it hard to believe it's passive.
The overall impression is of high quality and versatility.
It's also attractive because it weighs about 3.8kg, which puts it in the lightweight category for a 5-string bass.
The scale is extra long at 35 inches, so even the open sound of the 5th string will sound properly without sounding too loud.
Even though it's a 35-inch scale, there are many basses that don't quite make sense with the 5th string open.
This is a technique that shows Sugi's high quality.
If you normally play a JB style bass, I think you'll be able to play it naturally.
However, what is noteworthy is the way the open string of the 5th string sounds. I'm quite surprised by this.
This is a must-try for those who have never been satisfied with the sound of a 5-string passive bass.
