Moollon P Classic - £1500 *Sold* £1500

[CamdenRob]

Sold

[font=helvetica][size=3]Moollon P Classic - Faded Sonic Blue with a Mint guard.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]£1500[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]A touch under 4kg according to my luggage scales.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]So my personal P Bass saga continues... When I don't have a P bass I think to myself I really should get one, it's a classic tone and it'd be useful to have in the stable. So I buy one and then it sits in the corner unplayed... I should just admit to myself that I am a dyed in the wool Wal man and nothing else sounds quite right in my hands.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]So I have decided to let this wonderful bass go. A decision I will no doubt change my mind about once it's gone [font=helvetica][size=3] [/size][/font][/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]Imported last year direct from Moollon and to be honest I've not played a better P bass. It is light, resonant and the tone control ranges from a crystal clear shimmer to lovely thumpy vintage vibe. The build quality is flawless and if you are interested in these you are probably already aware of the attempt to create a pre-CBS vibe with these instruments.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]Currently strung with a fresh set of D'Addario NYXLs but I can also include a set of TI flats if preferred, which is how I have been playing it.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]Anyway enough waffle on with the pictures.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3][/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3][/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3][/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3][/size][/font]



[font=helvetica][size=3]Condition is flawless to my eyes. Never gigged and only used for a couple of rehearsals and at home. OHSC and all case candy, Moollon strap etc.[/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]This will be [b][u]COLLECTION ONLY[/u][/b] from London NW1. I am in no hurry to sell and to be honest I'm not even really sure I want too, so please don't ask me to ship. I'm happy to wait for a buyer who can collect, although depending on distance / timings / cost I could meet at a train station on a direct line out of London [font=helvetica][size=3] [/size][/font][/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]You are more than welcome to try her out evenings or weekends [font=helvetica][size=3] [/size][/font][/size][/font]

[font=helvetica][size=3]Payment by Bank Transfer please.[/size][/font]

Lovely bass Rob!

Looks more Fendery than a Fender bass thing in Fullerton Fender Basstown!

Rob, have you tried her with Chromes or LaBella? Would be a lovely bass to keep for those occasions of variance.

Haha, it does!

[natjag]

Does this have a rosewood or ebony board?

[Kevsy71]

Eek, highly tempted to have a dark board partner for my sonic blue maple limelight P!

Scott Devine has featured (and praised) his Moollon P on videos recently, e.g. https://youtu.be/YarWwi7gRqI

GLWTS!

I would like to know as well but I guess it's ebony since the bass is from 2016

[CamdenRob]

This is an ebony board gents... with clay dots. I may be mistaken but I don't think Moollon use rosewood? I seem to remember being told at the time I ordered it was due to availability in Korea.

I did try LaBellas on it first off as I'd liked them previously but they didn't quite feel right to me on this bass. I preferred the TIs to the rounds it's currently sporting but if I keep it I think I'll give chromes a go.

I can testify to how good a bass this is having had a play a while back (thanks Rob). If I had the cash I'd snap it up.

I like TI's, but oddly never as much on my 60's basses. I reckon Chromes might seal the deal for you, they compliment my 66P very well. Good luck with the sale, or working it out.

[natjag]

Interested in this. If it's still available once I've done my end of tax year accounts, I'll be having it I think.

Any chance of a picture of the back of the neck at the headstock join. Cheers.

[DDR]
