    Alas it was a purchase I couldnt afford to make so sadly I need to let it go...

    This could be your only chance to own one of these ultra rare instruments.
    Originally $3300 Im looking for £1745 ([b]NOW £1600[/b]). But be quick before I change my mind and keep it!

    I would also consider some trades - 35" scale for 5 stringers only

    Its alot of dough I know but well worth it. Check out [url="http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/index.html"]http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/index.html[/url] for the prices on these - and thats for the regular models![attachment=22528:DSC06471_1043x764.jpg]

    The 35" Scale

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by elsharko

    I've decided after going through a weath of 5-stringers that the 34" scale just doesnt cut it for me tone-wise. I know there's quite a few 35" basses out there but Im still suprised they're as uncommon as they are?

    So I thought Id start a list for all those dedicated long-scale players out there. Please add any and all you can think of and your thoughts on them - and your thoughts on this subject in general.

    Any pics you have would be good too.

    I'm going to start it off with the [b]Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones 5[/b] - one of the most wonderful things ever. I wish they'd make a US version!

    Finally... Its here!

    not feelin the love for my wonderful screws and no scratchplate idea :)
    I thought I was igniting a craze unsurpassed in bass trampering history but clearly its not appreciated in its own time.

    I'll stare at it another couple of hours and decide...

    Well here she is. Truely a wonderful bass, although pretty pricey. I had to set it up myself, the strings came flat on the neck and the bridge was just flat to the board but Ive got it playing beautifully and the neck feels great.
    The pickups are DiMarzio, which is odd for Moon I think but they sound pretty beefy. The front controls actually are 2 seperate volume knobs for each pickup and then 3-EQ.
    The pics are crappy cameraphone pics but you can see that I have decided to remove the scratchplate (and keep the screws) just for freakyness. What do you reckon?

    Alas its alittle ways off yet, I should think customs will throw it in a corner for a week or so just to torment me. You can see the shop pics here though, and I thoroughly recommend shopping here, Andrew is a great guy who shopped around for me and gave timely lengthly responses to all my annoying questions. You can see the rest of the original pics here

    Pretty pricey, Andrew at guitarsjapan.com found it for me. It cost $2350 + shipping, Paypal fees & import tax. And with the exchange rate as it is...
    I had to sell my Bacchus, US Jazz Deluxe, Laney RB7 and various other nik naks to even come close to it. ;)
