FlatsOff Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Up for grabs is this beautiful Moollon P5, good weight at 8.98lbs/4.07kg. It sounds amazing - full and extremely even response across strings and entire fretboard. B string consistent with EADG. Very loud acoustically too. Comes with extra pickguard. The neck feels great. The nitro finish is thinnest I've ever seen - against the light you can see the actual wood texture underneath - and there are multiple checks on it as per photos. I think of it as part of the charm - cough next to it and it chips! Available to play and pickup in London. Shipping: I can do within UK or for decided EU buyer take it to EU and send from within EU (I travel regularly). This was my last try to force proper vintage taste on self, but I seem to not bond as much with vintage spec'd basses, no matter their price range. Happy to trade (cash adjusted both ways) for the right 5 string: F Bass VF PJ, MTD, LeFay, Serek MW2, possibly Stingray Special w/maple neck. No sunbursts though Below is the actual specimen played by previous owner. I can also record some samples/videos on request (although not nearly as well played as the other guy!) - just let me know.

If I recall correctly this has to do with assymetrical 3+2 coils that would have to be used otherwise. Anyway, it's a moollon's thing 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmjos Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I honestly cannot believe this is still here. These are a rare beast indeed. Don't be put off by the pick up configurations, the tone on these is mad. I have owned vintage 59P, 65P, USA Lakland P and this is the P that sits in the mix like a 59, has the range a dynamics of a Lakland but it has a transparency and clarity of the best modern P basses if you want it. The low B is thick and earth shaking. The warmth of the tone all the way up the board reminds me of the best shortscales. For me this is the ultimate players 5 string P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatsOff Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Now that you mentioned short scale quality in higher positions I won't be able to unhear it:) I had it nicely setup to my liking and just play it regularly tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 This is ace. Sadly way out of my price range and needs. I’m not really a P guy but I’d make room for this! Buys lottery ticket, what the hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
