PMAC Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) What can I say about Moollon that hasn't already been said... hand-built, sought-after, year-long waiting period to order new. It looks and feels like an early '60s Jazz bass, from the wiring to the beautifully ageing nitro finish to the hand-wound pickups (natural wear, the bass was made for NAMM 2012). This particular bass is a lightweight (under 4kg) swamp ash body with a maple neck. It's loud acoustically with a very resonant body. It's got excellent sustain across the fretboard. Frets are in great shape. Moollon basses are played extensively by Tim Lefebvre (Tedeschi Trucks band, David Bowie, etc.), Michael League (Snarky Puppy, etc.), Kevin Scott (Forq, etc.) and many more. Comes with a hard case. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Based in North London. Open to trades. Thanks for looking. Edited July 16, 2020 by PMAC Video added 4

Brother Jones Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Beautiful. Not sure about the slot head screws in the bridge though...

PMAC Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 I gave the bass some TLC this weekend and discovered that it's actually a prototype!
Kev Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 You know, I have no time at all for sunburst Fender types, yet I find this stunning!

Pea Turgh Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Wow. That grain on the body end of the neck! That is tasty.
