patpatel Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) After a lot of deliberation I've decided to put my [size=5][b]Moollon P-Classic Bass [/b][/size] up for sale. This is a really great bass and I'll probably come to regret it but got major gas for some new things (amongst others a Moollon J-Bass 5er). I bought this about a year ago on Basschat from member Castagne (thanks for letting me use the pics). The bass is, apart from a few dents and scratches, in great condition. I can send some more detailed photos via email. Hand-made by Korean luthier Young Joon, this bass was modelled after a pre-CBS P. Nitro finish, pickups based on Young Joon's 1959 and 1960 Fender Precision Basses, rated at 10.5k ohms. Custom-designed, tested, and built Pre-CBS-spec tuners, fantastic neck, very easy to play, no dead spots. Costs about $2000 new (plus shipping and taxes) Here's a glowing BassPlayer review of a Moollon J-Bass, with some interesting info on Moollon.

JCB Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Saw Tim Lefebvre playing his Moollon P-classic with Tedeschi Trucks band back in November at indigo/O2. Was initially disappointed that Oteil Burbridge wasn't touring with them, but Tim was really good and the sound, not just from the bass but the whole band, was fantastic. The sound man did a great job that night. The band rocked GLWTS Edited February 13, 2016 by JCB
patpatel Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 Yeah, I love Tim's playing. This bass strung with D'Addario Chromes really nails his sound.... although he would probably sound good on any old bass...
