Gorgeous. There's a Moonstone bass, albeit not this model, featured in an old book which I bought in 1983 called The Complete Guitar Guide. The photo is black & white and I've never even seen one "in the flesh" before. I still feel slightly stunned ...

The reviewer in the book was worried the wood in the neck might want to move but be prevented by the graphite. He says "the consequences hardly bear thinking about" and hopes Moonstone pre-empted that one.
