Moollon P-Classic 4 - Olympic White (on hold) - *SOLD* £3000 London, UK

[Arnoldoc]

Offering my Moollon P-Classic bass as thinning out my P bass collection (I mainly play jazz basses).

 

These are usually going for over $4k in the US and have a 3-4 year waiting list for new orders.

 

Considered by many to be the best substitutes for pre-CBS basses (together with Olinto) at a fraction of the price; used by players such as Tim Lefebvre, Michael League, Scott Divine, Richard Bona, and Jonathan Maron. Everything is hand made and in-house including the pickups, nitro finishing, hardware using the same 1960s alloy, etc.

3.8kg / 8.3lbs

 

Full specs here http://www.moollon.com/front/product/product_list.php?code=003

 

Have had it since new. It's in very good condition and has not been played much. The ultra thin nitro finish is starting to check/crack in some places as expected, no scratches - same as in vintage nitro painted Fenders. I'm looking for a straight sale only / no trades.

This 80 second video — which I've been thoroughly obsessed with for months — is making me want to spend 3 grand

 

 

Fortunately, vintage radius is a no go for me, I'm safe 🥵

It's supply and demand, basic economics, determining current prices. How much will it cost you to have one in 3 years is irrelevant if you want one today. It's not too different from buying a vintage Fender (how do you determine "value") and I presume it's going to be the same for Stenback basses - most people will be unable to get accepted on the current 4-5 year waiting list.

 

Think it's a very fair price compared to the ones on offer in the US. Less than what it would take to ship and import one into Europe in 3 years time. I did have a Jazz 5 from them which was very nice, although I do think their P basses are their top product.

As a fellow Moollon P owner I have to agree. I wouldn’t swap it for any ‘70s P which is the same ballpark £ for vintage.

I've now checked and it's around $200 for 3-4 day shipping with insurance on top. Payment via bank transfer or Paypal Friends & Family.
