  1. [quote name='P-T-P' post='884271' date='Jul 2 2010, 07:46 PM']Made in Korea or Indonesia?[/quote]

    what are the supposed differences between the Korean and Indonesian models?
    These have a 35" scale right?

    Im desperately looking for a white one with a RW board but Im going to keep an eye on this nonetheless :-)

  2. [quote name='bubinga5' post='532199' date='Jul 4 2009, 01:01 AM']I have loved this bass for a while now....Whats the pre amp like through this bass?[/quote]

    I love the pre, its Moons own brand.
    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."

This is the same as my old 7210H (that was made in 1999 I think), except that mine was made in one of the last ever production runs from the pre-Gibson era, and this is at least a year older than that because of the green carpet and red lines going across the face of the cab.

    Regardless of age, these are absolutely fantastic combos.[/quote]

    Well apologies, I'll take your word for it. Its in spiffing order anyway.

  4. 2 years according to the previous owner who bought it 16 months before I got it. Says he never gigged it - Ive only gigged it twice.

    Its got a bit of fluff going on, my cat likes to sleep on it - I'll be sure to de-fluff...
