Nice rig!
I haven't tried the Dunlop brights. I love the NYXLs on the Moollon P-IV and P-V (and my Marcus Miller Jazz too).
I tried the stock DR Pure Blues that came on the P-IV but ended up preferring the NYXLs.
Let us know what you think if you make the change.
I just received my P-Classic IV in Shell Pink on Monday!! Here are a couple pictures:
I absolutely love it. It turned out excellent, I couldn’t be happier with it.

Thank you! I was having a hard time choosing a pickguard color at first (I got all 3 colors in case—white, tort and mint), but I really love the way this white one looks. I like how it’s a bit of an off white and not a super bright white.
Can't go wrong with any of the pickguards on that one honestly. The tort looks great. I've seen a guitar with the mint which looks pretty cool too. And the white obviously looks good.

A visit to the Moollon shop in NW Seoul is what you'd need to do, since all bass models are kept for visitor demo use and visits are welcomed. Although a regular stock ready for purchase is not kept, at least you'd be able to A/B through YJ's own amps and he could answer your questions as well.
There are a few different Moollon bass models scattered about at Nakwonsangga @ Jongno 2-ga near downtown, but we aren't able to easily track remaining stock in our local dealers and cannot be sure who still has what.
Here is my J-Classic V in OT Metallic, which I acquired in 2015. I'd say the color temp in the photo is pretty accurate as far as how the finish appears in direct sunlight. Like other metallic finishes, the perception of the color can change a bit depending on the light source. This particular finish is actually closer to Lake Placid Blue, in my opinion. I've seen a couple of other Moollons in OT Metallic that are a bit more toward the green end of the spectrum. This picture was taken right after I got the bass. I'd say it has gotten slightly more green since then due to the aging/yellowing of the lacquer, but I don't have any recent pictures handy to illustrate that.

I Just scored this one the other night on Reverb. They’re hard to get I also have an order in for a metallic charcoal precision bass from Moollon that I just paid for the deposit.Attachments
Hi ad9000, effectively, for me your its look like a LPB.. and my OT Metallic are more toward the green like a real OTM.
Anyone know what Allen wrench size is appropriate for the saddles on a Moollon? Somehow I misplaced my set of Allen wrenches and am trying to figure out whether to buy metric or standard/imperial. Thanks!!

In times like this I wish I could be of better assistance! YJ doesn't seem to recall specifics (he's got an ancient Allen wrench set on his bench and the little thing used for saddle adjusting during setup is devoid of sizing description), but he did mention that it's most likely either 5/64" or 1/16".
Thanks that is a big help. I’ll go ahead and get a set that includes both sizes.
By the way I love my P Classic!
