Moollon in the house

I suppose gigging outside, with distancing regs in place, would be less of a problem if everyone wore a mask huh Si

Bump with some extra part-ex options. Si -
You picked them for reasons of tone though, as opposed to one being ‘better built’ than the other. I simply asserted that they are as well built as one another, both being accomplished luthiers. Si
-
Naaaaa, not possible to say that, they’re both excellently built! Whether one prefers one over the other is subjective of course, Wilcock has built basses with Serek’s B90’s in, and Serek has any number of pickup options....so ‘fatness’ is simply down to that. Si

Fantastic instrument, if only my Elrick would sell lol Si- 9 replies

Literally no-one has asked for this! Good luck to them, I respect anyone who can make an instrument, but I wouldn’t part with £200 for one, let alone £6k Si

@Quatschmacher Ah awesome, I saw that posted on Instagram by one of the staff there, thought it was a great spec! Great job!

@Quatschmacher Will PM you

I'll let you know the import costs when it arrives . But yes, ballpark. Si
-
Yes, Moollon work in dollars. That price includes delivery, but not taxes/import (no company would include that). They do have some limited costed options available too, metallic/sparkle finishes are extra etc. Si
-
I was actually very close to changing the spec of mine (mid-build queue) after I saw him play at Jazz Cafe with Forq. For me, I’m not aware of anyone building true 60’s spec Fenders (less the ebony fingerboard) for this price. YJ has even researched his own metallurgy mix for the hardware to match Fenders recipe. They’re a good grand cheaper than Custom Shop. I was also swayed somewhat by Tim Lefebvre and Kevin Scott using them as their main instruments Si
-
Exciting! I could see myself ordering another P (although not yet by any stretch), probably blonde with maple board (like Kevin Scott's). Si
-
God no, blasphemy on a Precision...C width 😁 Si
-
They’re $2249 new (although I think like $100 extra for a metallic/sparkle finish). The second hand cost is similar to the new cost just because they’re so sought-after. I think the current build time is around 10 months. Mine is currently in the post to me 😁 Si
-
Worth noting that the stock MK1 p’ups are also split-coils, but clearly voiced differently to the Aguilars. Si
-
Yeah the old 55-02’s had it when they they had Barts, but moved to the Hanson/Lakland stuff after. The 55-01 was actually a bit of an accident, when Lakland were waiting for the first 55-02 test models, the overseas factory didn’t have any MM/J pups, so they stuck a couple of soapbars in so Lakland could at least see the bass build quality. The rest is history. Si
-
Not sure, I just left it inside haha. Yeah I would say that the pickups made the biggest difference (they sounded way better than the MK1’s in passive mode), but figured I’d do the preamp too while I was at it. Si
-
I found upgrading my old 55-01 pups and Pre from the MK1 stuff really bought it alive. I opted for Bartolini US dual coils (in the same shell size as the MK1’s), and a Bart NTMB preamp. I had La Bella tape wounds on it and it really sang, regret selling it! Si

Vol, Balance, 3 band EQ....pretty easy ☺️ Si
-
My Elrick Expat. Currently for sale in the FS section should anyone be interested. Si

Reckon mine is in the mix too lol Si

Jake has been busy. That's a beauty! Si

Eugh, first signs that getting my Moollon P delivered from South Korea is going to be a ball-ache! 🙄
