Moon JJ-4 Transparent Red - Used
The Moon JJ-4 is a professional-grade, boutique J-style bass handcrafted in Japan by PGM (Professional Guitar Manufacture). Moon basses earned their legendary status through an uncompromising commitment to build quality and a punchy, high-fidelity tone that became a staple of funk and fusion. This JJ-4 features the signature slanted neck pickup design, which tightens the low-frequency response and provides the iconic snap and clarity required for advanced slap and fingerstyle techniques.
This instrument is a solid rock, jazz, and funk machine, featuring a resonant ash body and a pair of premium Bartolini pickups that deliver a wide, articulate tonal range. The maple neck is capped with a sleek ebony fingerboard, offering a fast playing surface and a crisp attack. Outfitted with gold hardware, this bass retains a sophisticated look despite its history of use.
The bass is in good, player-grade condition. It shows honest signs of a life spent making music, including various dings, finish wear, and typical cosmetic aging of the gold hardware. Structurally, it remains in great shape with a straight neck and a comfortable setup. For the bassist looking for a world-class Japanese instrument with plenty of "mojo" and a proven track record on the stage, this Moon is a fantastic choice.
