Moon JB-4C R CR -Black- #59249 [4.47kg]. ■Serial Number: 59249. Rather than chasing flashy specifications, Moon's greatest appeal lies in achieving a high-level balance between the "playability" players desire and a sound that cuts through the mix in an ensemble. Description Moon JB-4C R CR -Black- #59249 [4.47kg] "Moon" is a pioneering Japanese component brand that has garnered strong support from many professional musicians. Instruments created through Japan's signature precision craftsmanship and a design philosophy focused on practical application have earned high acclaim in every setting, from the stage to the recording studio. Rather than chasing flashy specifications, Moon's greatest appeal lies in achieving a high-level balance between the "playability" players desire and a sound that cuts through the mix in an ensemble. The instrument featured here is a passive model of the "JB-4," crafted based on the traditional Jazz Bass style. It is a custom-ordered model that pursues the playability and tonal balance sought by modern players while cherishing a vintage feel. The body utilizes alder, a wood long favored as a standard material for Jazz Basses. It offers a compelling sound character—combining rich mid-range frequencies with a warm low-end—that is versatile across genres. Rather than pushing flashiness to the forefront, this material provides the thickness and natural cohesion needed to solidly support the entire ensemble. The neck is made of maple, while the fretboard features Honduran rosewood. While it possesses the quick response and crisp attack characteristic of a bolt-on joint, the addition of the rosewood fretboard gently rounds off the sharp edges of the high frequencies, resulting in a pleasing, ear-friendly tone. Another notable feature is the use of a "21-fret extended fingerboard" (or "overhang" fretboard) instead of the standard 20-fret configuration. Extending the fretboard by one fret toward the body enriches the high-frequency harmonic content; this results in a bright, cutting attack for slap playing and adds a sense of three-dimensional depth to the sound when playing fingerstyle—demonstrating how a simple structural change can significantly enhance the overall sound. It is equipped with two "Oxalis" single-coil pickups. While retaining the solid, vintage-style midrange, the instrument delivers a sound with an impressive frequency range thanks to a modern, wide-range design. It faithfully reproduces picking dynamics and subtle fingering nuances, directly translating the player's touch into sound. It achieves a perfect balance between a highly responsive attack and a punchy, solid tone. The controls feature the classic Jazz Bass layout: two volume knobs and a master tone. As a passive instrument free from complex active electronics, it delivers the wood's natural resonance and the player's nuances with pure, direct clarity. The sensation of engaging in a dialogue with the instrument itself as you play is a true delight unique to passive basses. The aesthetics reflect the meticulous attention to detail of this custom order. While it features a traditional black finish, the use of a hard urethane coating—rather than softer lacquer—emphasizes the attack and enhances sonic projection. The resulting glossy sheen gives the instrument a premium look. Sonically, it offers a well-balanced character that fuses the rich midrange of an alder body with the warmth of Honduran rosewood and the sharp response of a bolt-on neck. The low end is thick yet clearly defined, and the attack is incredibly fast. It delivers a groovy, commanding tone for fingerstyle playing, a crisp and punchy sound for pick playing, and a bright, cutting attack for slap bass. It possesses the versatility to handle a wide range of genres, from rock and pop to funk, fusion, and R&B. Rather than relying on flashy characteristics, this instrument embodies the high level of craftsmanship typical of Moon, representing an honest pursuit of what makes a bass truly great. Its exquisite sound balance—maintaining a strong presence within the band ensemble without ever interfering with other instruments—perfectly illustrates why this instrument has garnered the long-standing support of so many professional players. It is a highly recommended instrument that allows you to fully experience the appeal of Japanese-made component basses: a design that is simple yet profound. We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity. ■Body: Alder ■Neck: Maple, 34" ■Fingerboard: Honduras Rosewood ■Number of Frets: 21 ■Finish: Urethane Finish ■Pickup: Oxalis JB-Classic ■Preamp: N/A ■Control: 2Vol, Tone ■Case: Gig Bag ■Weight: 4.47kg ■Serial Number: 59249 *Please note that the colors in the posted images may differ slightly from how the instrument appears to the naked eye, depending on camera characteristics, display settings, and other factors.
