Yeah man I think so. I ordered an MP4 from him a few months ago, and it is the new “Classic” model with Maghini signature on the headstock.

Club MBasses?

I actually think it’s a good move for him. When I first heard about Mbasses it was a bit confusing all the unrelated stuff I found trolling the web.
It looks from his website it looks as if he's building more guitars than basses, but I bet he'd build anything to custome specs.. I own two MBasses and they are both top of the line. Been to Jon's shop. He's a great guy with an amazing build ethic and super service. Whatever it takes to make a go in this tough custom market. Wish him the best.
Any thoughts on what this might mean to the value of Mbasses? They are already undervalued, which I can't understand.

What?! And the site looks like he only has the MP listed for basses. Are there no more MJs being made?!
Can someone tell me, what happened to the brand Mbass? Why did he switch brand name? The basses under the brand Mbass were awesome, I was about to order one and now that I saw he switch name brand, the basses he has on the website just seen to be as any standard bass, it doesn't have anything that says wow. Unless I am wrong
I believe he still may do MBasses and I will be ordering one.. He is basically now doing Mahini Guitars and Basses ...
Jon Maghini is building me one of his new Basses right now. Looks to be a killer instrument.
My Maghini P is due very soon! Ordered in September. When did you order yours?
Will be very curious to compare it to my friend @600 Ohms’ Moollon P, which IMO is just a kick ass instrument in every regard.
Hard to compare a hand built instrument Jon made every part of it with a CNC, parts instrument. Just my opinion.
The Moollons are 100% handmade by one guy, down to his own metallurgy for the tuners.
I currently own 3 MBasses and have owned 2 others and they're all fantastic instruments.. I did own 1 Moollon for a short period of time and thought it was a dog.. That's not saying I wouldn't try another because the one I had may have been a fluke..
Interesting. I’ve played recently built Moollon Ps and a J 5 string and both were fantastic. That said, I absolutely cannot wait for my Maghini P to arrive. I’m sure it’s going to meet all the expectations touted here and then some.
Like I said, that may have been a fluke.. Jon had a P-Bass at the summer NAMM a few years back that was killer and I'm not normally a P-Bass guy..
Can someone confirm if Jon still making basses? I sent an email a month ago and haven't heard back. Thanks
