elsharko Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Mint condition, extremely rare (only 20 made!) Custom PGM Moon JB-5 w/ DiMarzio pickups A beautiful instrument, crafted to perfection. You can see the original info and pics here - [url="http://www.guitarsjapan.com/2008_Moon_JB-5-294DM_Jazz_Bass.html"]http://www.guitarsjapan.com/2008_Moon_JB-5..._Jazz_Bass.html[/url] Alas it was a purchase I couldnt afford to make so sadly I need to let it go... This could be your only chance to own one of these ultra rare instruments. Originally $3300 Im looking for £1745 ([b]NOW £1600[/b]). But be quick before I change my mind and keep it! I would also consider some trades - 35" scale for 5 stringers only Its alot of dough I know but well worth it. Check out [url="http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/index.html"]http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/index.html[/url] for the prices on these - and thats for the regular models![attachment=22528:DSC06471_1043x764.jpg] Edited October 27, 2010 by elsharko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Thought Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Sorry you've had to let it go so soon-it's a gorgeous bass. Somebody will be very well chuffed indeed with it. I presume you've put the scratch plate back on then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 think that's one of the first moon basses I've liked- think the others I've seen are too plain for me. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB wrote this on my TalkBass thread: "I own this bass' sibling. Mine is identical in every respect except that it is finished in Burgundy Mist, (a '60's Fender color), and has a rosewood fingerboard. It is such a fine Fender-style instrument that I have needed no other 5-string since purchasing it. I bought it 10 or so years ago from the only former US dealer I know of: Dan Lenard, then of The Luthier's Guild in Chicagoland. The preamp is a Blackbird, but a 3-band, unlike the 2-band drop-in Jazz Bass replacement model, also a great preamp. It adds a mid-boost/cut feature that functions much like a presence knob on an amp; goose it if you ever feel you can't be heard clearly enough, or cut for a slap-tone. It features only useable tones, and sips 9-volt power. I have played many 5-string jazzes before and since and this instrument still tands alone. If you can manage it, buy it."
