Moon 70's style Jazz - Ebony/blocks, Nitro Finish! £1150 Margate

[jay-syncro]

Next on the block is this absolutely stunning Moon JB4. It features a glorious ebony fretboard with pearloid blocks and binding, very thin full nitro finish in a dark burgandy mist, proper 70's pickup spacing, white ash body and, surprisingly for a Moon, light weight at only 8.5lbs! It sounds wonderful and is built to an extremely high standard by Moon in Japan. It also includes the original Moon gig bag. 

It's in good condition but as stated the nitro is very thin and wears easily. 

 

I love it, but needs must.. 

 

Collection from Margate or I can box it up if you'd like to arrange a courier. 

 

Just look at it!

Never seen a Moon gigbag before - it's almost cooler than the bass!

 

GLWTS!

I like it. I used to gig a Moon JB4. It was a heavy beast but boy did it sound good.

They always sound amazing and are generally quite heavy, not this one though 👌🏻

Had a Moon JJ4 years ago, the ones with the slanted neck pickup (think Larry Graham). Excellent basses, as in general all Japanese ones. GLWTS

I totally agree, the consistency of Japanese basses is pretty amazing. The Moon Larry Graham sig is my dream bass.

These Moon basses really are something special. I have an early Larry Graham sig model & it is absolutely amazing in all aspects!

Excellent, am I right in thinking the early LG sigs didn't have the back of the neck painted?
