Apothem Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) For sale is my lovely Moon JJ Translucent Red, matching headstock, ash body, ebony board. She does not get the attention she deserves so she should move to a new home. General condition is excellent: no buckle rash at all and the only swirls/signs are little and very superficial, really have to look at an angle under a certain light to see. On the edge of the headstock there are two little dings, but really nothing important. The neck is immaculate, not a sign on it and perfectly lacquered. All the hardware (gold) is also perfect, included (gold) straplocks. Currently fitted with Haussel pickups (german, hand-wound single coils, not a snip at around £150) which give a very sweet sound, but the original Moon pickups will be included in order to provide the possibility for a truly all-original instrument. The preamp is the original Moon 2-EQ cut/boost with central indent (although I suspect it's a Bartolini re-packaged, like the overwhelming majority of Moon's stock preamps). Comes with the original Moon gigbag, also in great shape. Here are the piccies...

I have something else very specific in mind so, please, no offers and no trades. I live south of Glasgow in case somebody wonders... So here's the opportunity for fellow BCers to own something special. If no interest, it will be eBayed soon. I am willing to ship abroad by courier only (Royal Mail does not provide trackability abroad) and FULLY insured, although it may be VERY expensive. Thanks for looking NOW SOLD SOLD SOLD as of 15 May Claudio Edited May 15, 2009 by Apothem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DylanB Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 This bass is gorgeous. Is it the one they had in the Bass Gallery a few years ago? It was definitely a red Moon JJ. I asked after it, but it had already been sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
