Moollon J5 Oly White - *SOLD* £2350 Essex UK

[pmjos]

This is my much loved Moollon J5 hand built for me by Joon Park in 2017. 

 

If you are thinking of ordering one of these its now a 2 year waiting list.

 

It is without question one of the finest bases I have ever played and its been a pleasure to own it. I will regret this.

I've been to visit Young Joon Park in Seoul and a finer gent and craftsman you will not meet. I've put some build pics in.

The man is obsessed with quality and creating an honest vintage sound and that includes properly integrating an authentic B. If Leo had a five string in the 60's, this is what it would sound like.

 

I've attached pictures of the bass when new. I'll attach some more in a few days showing body wear which is normal in Nitro finishes like this.  Otherwise no marks.

 

This is a 60's pick up positioning passive J5. I had this built to match my 62 jazz bass Olympic white with natural head and tort guard. Comes with Moollon hard case.

 

Why am I selling? I guess that after all is said and done I'm lucky to have an original 62 Fender Jazz and for 5 string I'm pretty much on active now. Price excludes shipping & insurance.

Hey,

that's a very nice Bass and also an absolute fair price.

I'll keep my eyes on it.

 

Best

P.S. I am from Germany. Would it be a problem to ship to Germany?
