Is this an original Moollon pickguard ? If yes, what year was the bass made ?

Interesting video:

Interesting video! That CS'59 reminds me of Scott Devine's white CS P, a huge bottom end.

Coming up on 36 months in a few days!
Anybody else?
The wait is starting to get painful though.. Was quoted about a year when i ordered.
Not complaining at all and i totally understand all of the delays etc, but damn the wait is hard when it gets longer than you anticipated.

37 months and still waiting

Ouch... Hopefully our turn is just around the corner.

For me, it’s a tie between the Olinto and the Moollon, but the CS sounds the best with the tone rolled off. I’m surprised at how underwhelmed I was with the vintage Fender.

31 months. I emailed Andi in September and he told me “hopefully by the end of the year”, but….anyway, right there with you!

 

[drewphishesp]

Ill never get the videos where they roll the tone off 100%, does anyone actually use that while theyre playing?

I do. Especially with roundwounds.

 

[drewphishesp]

yeah I almost never go too 100% off but I do use flats

His specimen of Olinto sounded great, it sounds like my Moollon. But his Moollon is thinner sounding than mine, and way thinner sounding than the one I sold.

None of my P basses by Moollon, Olinto, CS, or Alleva can match my 58 P. However, they are equal to my 66. Also, this gentleman who made the video didn’t describe whether he had identical strings/age on all the basses. That is the only viable tone test to do. Otherwise, it’s pretty much meaningless. Additionally, these comparisons are of little use since I think we can all agree that the feel of the bass in your hands is probably the most relevant comparisons one could do. A bass that does not feel fantastic will not be a loved bass no matter the vintage or cost. From a feel perspective, in my collection, my 58 is miles ahead of the others. As pricey as the bass was, it has turned out to be a wise investment, as it has allowed me to sell many other basses. It removes a lot of GAS, a feeling so satisfying. I now have GAS for amplifiers. Lol.

My Moollon sounds great. Every time I have GAS with pups and basses I play my Moollon and it goes away.

Coming up on 40 months and still waiting. Was originally only supposed to take about a year.
I don't want to gripe but I should have had it a long time ago.

 

[drewphishesp]

sorry for everyone waiting. I couldnt wait and bought used and I dont think I could ever wait 40 months for anything. Even my kids came after 10!

Aw man... I hope you get it soon! And I guess that makes it about four more months for me aswell.
