What do you think about Moon basses (Japanese)

Sign in to disble this ad
I mean basses made by company "Moon guitars", to be clear http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/.
Does anybody have any experiences with them? I am considering buying used JJ-4, which you may know as Larry Graham bass.
There is not much information to find on net, but what Ive found it was very praised...
Also, I found that the they closed their buissines some time ago and then revived it, do you know something about it?

Jus FYI Ive played that mentioned bass and I can say that it felt really good, one of the best feelings Ive ever had when playing different basses (the best is always, of course, playing the bass that is mine at the time ). The price is pretty low considering how much costs new one converted from Yens, also considering that probably not many of these instruments can be found in Europe, or even in my country.
Though, still pretty much form my budget.
So, what do you think?

I own a Moon Classic series Jazz. This bass is really nice...all moon amenities, top quality build. The only thing I didn't like were the pups...I put EMG's in it and it's now perfect. The neck is to die for and the weight on this one is 8.75 lbs. Sorry about the pics. This bass is my go to bass.

Great basses. If I'm not mistaken, Moon's were one of original Japanese boutique built basses along with Bossa.
