Yes, it's so simple! I added a tugbar (use the screw size of the ones for your strap buttons) and the covers (same as the pickguard screws). The tugbar is around $5 and all you need to do is make a pilot hole where the screw holes are in the pickguard.View attachment 5173129

Do you have any sound clips of this bass? Theres not a ton of examples of maple neck p-classics outside of Kevin Scott stuff.

Joe- DM me your phone number and I can text a video of me playing with my fingers and a pick. My neck is a one-piece maple board/neck with a soft-v profile with TI flats and I absolutely love the tone. I prefer the look of rosewood/ebony but I really think my maple-necked guitars have a woodier tone and more mojo.

Hoping an astute Moollon member here can help me understand the aversion to
a Moollon B524. I have owned a Moollon J IV and a PV. The B524 is not an ugly stepchild. It is every bit an outstanding instrument that sounds closer to the PV. So not sure why these don’t get the love . Thanks

Hey buddy,
I'd like to take a swing at this...my perspective. I'm into vintage stuff, almost exclusively, but not entirely. I have 4 Moollons because they are one of the few boutique bass brands who specialize in trying to achieve an authentic vintage Fender experience. There are others as well that strive to achieve this, but few do. On the other hand there dozens and dozens of boutique builders doing non-vintage bass designs, so the choices for a more "modern" bass are vast. Couple that with the fact that Moollon's Fender style basses are so beloved by so many players, the modern designs just don't get as much attention, and I believe the number of them out in the market is quite limited. Just my thoughts.

I've had my seafoam P for a few weeks and so far it has surpassed my expectations. In the studio the producer preferred it over the other bass I brought with me (no slouch either) because of it's note definition and sustain. And in rehearsals and on it's first gig (with me) it performed excellent as well.

I was never an FSO player but there was always an itch for a good P in the back of my mind. The Moollon scratched it and then some!

Hey all, currently on a string search for my J5 classic. Anyone have any recs? Here’s what I’ve tried:

-Dunlop Super Bright Nickels - loved the tone but were way too flexible for me and tension was too low.
-GHS Pressurewounds - These strings felt great but sounded kinda scooped. Brittle highs and very muddy on the E and B.
-DR Nickel Lo Riders - These are on there now. Best so far, but I’m still finding them muddy on the E and B.

I’m looking for a warm round wound sound with some high end zing, very clear fundamental, and a feel on the stiffer side (especially the B).

thanks to you all!
