Description
The Moon Guitars Japan Custom JB-5 MITSURU SUTOH MODEL is a testament to precision engineering and artistic craftsmanship, making it an indispensable asset for any serious bassist. This 5-string electric bass, designed in collaboration with acclaimed bassist Mitsuru Sutoh, is crafted to meet the rigorous demands of both studio and stage settings. Its versatile circuitry ensures adaptability across a wide spectrum of contemporary music genres, providing both power and clarity.

This innovative design ensures that your performance remains uninterrupted and dynamic, whether you're laying down a groove or cutting through with a solo. The JB-5's construction speaks to Moon's dedication to quality, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every aspect, from the smooth action and perfect balance to the impeccable finish and fretwork.
