I have a 1982 Moonstone Bass for sale. Seriously interested people only. I am asking $2,400.00 and the bass is in absolute mint condition. I will send you pics if you are interested.
Everything about this bass is gorgeous. I'll give you the roof over my head. I need a new one anyway.
The only thing that weirds me out is how close the bridge is to the rear pickup. But that nonwithstanding this is an awesome bass - reminds me of Spinal Tap or something - old school boutique!
I just saw a 1981 sell on ebay in mint Cond.! Not the same as this one... believe me, I checked closely. Almost won the bid but I had my reserve lower. These are awesome basses.

Wow, the memories. I played a 1982 Moonstone Eclipse very much like this one as my main axe for almost 20 years until I sold it some years ago. Super creamy sound, especially in the mid to upper register. The way it is setup, the upper range is very accessible to soloing and has fantastic sustain.
Steve Helgelson is out there in the redwood forest with the Sasquatch and all sorts of other mojo when he puts these together...great basses!
To me, the nut-width felt like a jazz-style nut. As far as scale length, mine was 33 1/2", and I think that was his standard back then. It gives it a special juicy feel when you dig in a bit.
Kevin, It has been my favorite for a while too. I also have a 1982 fretless. The neck is even better than the fretted. I love them both but...I want to round out my rack woth a Jazz bass. Started on Fender and want to own one again.

Did you ever sell this bass? I was the original owner of that bass, I bought it brand new, it was my main bass for about 25 years! I wanna say I sold it to a guy in Arizona? Kinda bummed I sold it, awesome bass and insane tone!
