Mr Larry Graham's Moon Bass.

[ALiP BoB]

Anybody got any info on this bass? Who knows the uh, moon website? What preamp is used in this bass? ANYTHING!

Thanks!

Google is your friend. Here's what came up first in the hit list when I searched for "moon" and "bass": http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/

that white fretboard looks awesome

A guy who worked at the nearby studio used to have one. He's not really a slap player, and I honestly don't know the story behind his acquisition, but it seemed like a bit of a one trick pony to me. Just bright, bright, bright all the time.

well i know that Pnio used a black one with the who until it was stolen from the stage at leeds a while back

I think i read somewhere that Moon uses Warmoth parts to build his basses, great bass and it sounds really good in Larry's hands, Bart pups and electronics.
Good all around bass, just like a good jazz should be.

Sidetracking a bit: Celinder is doing a Larry Graham bass too, all white with (I think) blue LED fretmarkers. Maybe I dreamed that last bit, but I saw it hanging at the shop a few weeks back.

Hmmm...

What is that model called? The last one on [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]?

That would be the Larry Graham Tribute Bass(it's not a LG signature Bass).

Moon no longer offer the LG sig model.

Larry's Phaser sounds amazing!

The Moon basses are hella cool too.

Considering they built their non Jazz basses that seems odd they couldn't or wouldn't build a J bass body and neck.

Then again maybe they came from Warmoth too.

A DJB-230KH

I had one a few years back, very pretty in that brownburst with an ebony fb. It sounded very smooooooth, and I kind of wished I hadn't sold it, but I'm a p-bass guy at heart.

Plus it didn't give street cred

I saw a few used ones on the Ishibashi site that looked really nice.

The color is nice on this one:
