StormyLukeJ Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Hello All, This really is an initial feeler. I picked up this wonderful Moon JJ 4 from the Bass Gallery in Camden in August this year and I’m only considering trading/ selling it due to financial reasons. its an incredibly lovely sounding bass guitar however it is pretty heavy. It was set up with flats upon purchasing and they are now worn in nicely. in truth I don’t know too much about it, when purchasing it the guys at the Gallery believed it was old (80’s) however not too much more info than that. I am interested in trading for a lower value Jazz Bass (4 strings only please) and cash my way. Interested to hear offers and happy to answer questions!

StormyLukeJ Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I’ll see if I can get a weight. to be honest didn’t know the pickups weren’t original. I’ve never seen pickups like them before. They sound superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyLukeJ Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Weight is around 12lbs as mentioned I was not aware of the pickups. I bought it as this 3 months ago. You can see the info on the Bass Gallery’s website 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUSKU Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I can say quietly that those pills you ride are original I have had several Moons that have the same ones for low passives. It's bad not knowing what their name is. A bass demolition in sound without a doubt and beautiful but very heavy to play long sessions. It's from the early '80s. Victor Baley was wearing one and so was Larry Graham. Luck with the sale I love the Moons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be totally wrong. 😆I thought they used Barts in the 80s Moon Jazz basses. Why would they route them like that unless the casings are missing.Lovely bass though. they're original. I've sold many Moon's like that over the years through my store. that bass is very very early 80's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormyLukeJ Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I’m sure I’ll regret it but it has to go. just for info I’ve removed the pickguard and there’s no damage underneath (apart from the screw holes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormyLukeJ Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 I know, it's a fantastic bass but I just don't think the market is here at the moment! It'll be a forever bass for someone lucky and I would keep it myself If it wasn't for a house purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
