JamesBass Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 So I've been hearing more and more about these guys lately, yet it seems like nowhere sells them! How do you go about getting one, and how much does it set you back? I'm gagging for a new P currently so these guys could be the ones for me, if I can find out more info! Quote
Sibob Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Asian vintage Fender copyists, seemingly very good at what they do judging on the clientele! Probably set you back about £2k I think?! Someone on here has one I think, hopefully they'll be along If it were my money, I'd probably go for an Olinto bass by La Bella. Handmade by Mas Hino in Brooklyn. Si Quote
wayne58 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Lawrie Macmillan of this parish is probably a good man to ask, he has a rather nice Moolon 5 string. I tried it out on a recent trip up to Scotland to collect his Sadowsky amp....very nice too. Cam Quote
CamdenRob Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1487859243' post='3243617'] Paging Camden Rob. [/quote] I'm here... sorry was on another call... I have a Moollon Classic P which I ordered last year. Faded Sonic Blue with a Mint guard... Like you I had P GAS but wanted something a little different. Not sure how much I read into the bumpf about emulating Pre CBS Fenders but it is an exceptional instrument. Light, beautifully crafted, with a lovely purity and resonance to the tone. I'm also very fond of the clay dots and dark ebony fretboard... it has a wonderful figure to it. They are made in small batches so you have to wait a little while for them to be put together post order. Very easy process though, communication was great throughout. When I ordered mine (around this time last year I think) It was $2299 and then the import duty on top, so they are not cheap but it's a wonderful instrument and I don't begrudge a penny of the cost Interestingly of all the basses I've been through over the years it's this one that has generated the most interest by far... I've had Three BCers over for a test drive, chat and cup of tea over the past year. You'd be more than welcome to come and try it for yourself if you find yourself at a loose end in North London of an evening any time soon... Edited February 24, 2017 by CamdenRob Quote

[/quote] Hey Rob, thanks for the info, sadly I'm not due north London way for quite some time, if I am up that way I shall drop you a PM and see if we can maybe meet. Would you say dropping them an email is the best course of action? James Quote
Sibob Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I'm not a big fan of the headstock.....looks like it's trying to be Fender, but unfinished at the end. But I bet they're great otherwise Si Quote
