Mystery moon bass..cant find the model

[Bass1218]

Its said to be passive, ph style pick-ups..odd headstock and tunners...its on my local buy and sell..

I've never seen a bass like that. All the Moon basses I've seen are Fender copies and this shape is decidedly not Fender-ish. Where does it say "Moon"?
The hardware would suggest it being made in the '70s while the neck really looks like it was taken from a Japanese EB-0 copy.

Thanks this bass still is a mystery..I e never seen it in person and that's the only pic Iv got..
Asking 300 ..I think il buy it and figure out its history after maybe...I dont recognize the bridge either..baffles me

 

[Bass1218]

Maybe I'll own it after the weekend and il be able place it...

The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced it's a parts bass with a homemade body. I don't think a manufacturer would purposely prevent easy access to so many of the higher frets, and nothing looks really cohesive. String spacing looks a bit wonky too. I don't think there's $300 worth of parts there.

Really...might be a good thing the guys not getting back to me

 

[bolophonic]

$300?

 

[Bass1218]

$300?

The guys asking 300 for it..not sure il buy it...it looked old and sort of interesting but now after some advice am hesitant to buy it

 

[ddnidd1]

Its not a Moon bass and $300 is about $225 too much.

The thing about such terrible access to the last frets makes sense have you seen

If it's not a moon what is it?

 

[Slough Feg Bass]

if it stays in tune, sounds good and feels fine, then 300 is a decent price!

 

[groooooove]

i agree it doesn't look worth the money

 

[bolophonic]

I'm just saying that I'd have to put a bag over my own head before I could pick it up.

 

[Bass1218]

Lol...I just wanted to fix it up maybe but not if it's not worth while...guy wont get back to me anyhow...but appreciate the advice,guess if he calls il pop some holes in a bag and head over,,,hope he doesn't think I'm robbing him!

 

[wraub]

I see a lot of mystery, wrapped up in an expensive package...
Kind of like going to the moon.

Doubt il get it the guy hasn't replied at all since the first message I sent him...wouldntvmjnd a good project bass though..fixer upper

G string looks to be just about off the fretboard. Gap between the A and D string seems a little too much. Is this one of the Russian basses? To be honest, I wouldn't do it.

 

[shrigg]

Hard pass.

 

[TinIndian]

No.
