Great job… This is probably one of the best or the best demo and detail and into the money and shipping I have ever seen… Great job mate. thank you so much - it really helps with making that future bass decision lol 👍🙏
@@craigwalshbass4634 yea - I’ve been looking here at demos. At some point I’ll have to find one - I’m really impressed. One British guy - dunno if you’ve seen his vids - Rufus Philpot. Uses moloon - love the tone!
What strikes me is the versatility of the tone control! With a lot of p-basses that I’ve owned there’s a “sweet spot”, usually between 40 and 60%. Your moollon sounds great even with the tone all the way up and it’s breaking my brain a little bit.
That was something that really struck me too. I’ve had similar experiences with lots of P basses and the “sweet spot”, but the Moollon genuinely sounds amazing open and closed - every tone is usable! It broke my brain too haha! Thanks for the comment!
Great review bro . I emailed this company but I really want the color I want . Its gonna cost a good 2300 at least and probably will be waiting a good 15 months possibly .
You’re so welcome! I took the plunge without ever having played one and it was so worth it! I don’t think you’ll regret it. If you need/want anymore info feel free to message me or comment! 👍🏼
@@craigwalshbass4634 Thanks Craig. How would you describe the neck profile, especially near the nut? Is it chunky or "flat". I prefer a rounder feel in the hand versus a flatter radius (which is why I sold my Lakland). Sorry for my lack of technical terms, but any info you can provide would be awesome.
No problem, sorry for the delay getting back to you! I always describe it as chunky but comfy, and I’d say it’s closer to a round feel than a flat feel. It isn’t super round, like some vintage profiles, but it definitely isn’t flat (like some of my asymmetrically carved custom instruments). Hope this helps mate!
Sure was a lot of talking. But you warned us, lol. Beautiful instrument! Good playing too, at the end.. sounds like Jamerson. Out of my price range at the moment, but probably the best I've seen and heard
By far the best sounding precision bass I've ever heard . Ntm aesthetically it's absolutely beautiful . Can't wait to get mine . Do you have any songs I can check out anywhere ? Bands , projects , solo bass jams ?
Thank you mate - they’re incredible basses, and I genuinely can’t believe how authentically vintage they feel and sound! I’ve got a website which lists my most recent projects/portfolio and I’ve got an Instagram! I’m most active on Instagram! Thank you 🙏🏻👍🏼👍🏼
@@craigwalshbass4634 I just started following your I.G. gotta say I'm really enjoying your bass lines . I've been playing almost 6 months and watching you play really inspires me to keep putting in hours everyday .
Odd question, can you demo how to do the truss Rod adjustment for this ( or any good references on how to do it)? I’m planning on placing and order for a 5 string P and want to make sure I have everything I need!
Hi im so grateful for your info abut Moollon p classic. Im about to order J from Moollon as well but im hesitating to add truss rod access option. Could u give me your opinion how handy it is and if it is worth adding??
Hi, you’re so welcome, I hope it was helpful! I think it’s personal preference, but I would always get the truss rod access option - it’s made truss adjustments so much easier for me on my Moollon! 👍🏼
$2300. That's super affordable for a boutique bass aimed at the pre-CBS thing. (Look at Alleva-Coppolo KBP 4 prices.) I just can't get into the Moollon headstock. Yeah, it's a superficial thing to nitpick, but it is what it is 😆
Thank you! I do a lot of sessions and studio work, so it varies. I also do a lot of live work in the way of tours, musicals, function/cover stuff! I use on it whatever I think needs that vintage old school vibe, mostly Motown, acoustic, and soul stuff!
Yep Motown mainly. I imagine the neck is too chunky to to do a Rocco impression. Also I was very relieved when I realised that you could play at the end. Bit concerned about you not playing an instrument that you were actually holding in your hands! My tip, respectfully, is to let rip at the beginning. As you are undoubtedly aware there are some strange folk out there inhabiting imaginary lives. Informative and enjoyable. Keep it up!
Winston Schwarz the neck profile is Pre-CBS but it doesn’t inhibit any Jaco/Rocco/funk at all, it makes you work ever so slightly harder, compared to my other custom instruments, but it’s still absolutely fine. Thanks!
Hey bro. I’ve a question I just went to a store and played a fender 61 p bass. I was amazed how different it felt compared to a 74 fender p bass. The 61 felt shallow with a kind of U shape with a wide flat fretboard. On this video you say it’s “chunky” would you say the description of the 61 P bass I played is different to the moollon? The weird thing is it felt amazing. Not awkward or having a chunky feel. Same it was 8k lmao
I’ve played a couple of Pre-CBS P basses that felt the way you describe, and I would say that the Moollon feels a bit different. It does have a bit of a U feel, but more of a full hand feel, and then the board is the vintage radius and feels it. But the combination of neck/board is super comfortable, it’s as comfortable as the most comfy Pre-CBS P basses I’ve played! I hope this helps mate! Haha 8k!! 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼
@@craigwalshbass4634 hey Craig thanks for responding. I wish a store or someone in London had one for sale. Even in uk. Would love to try it. I found I’m sensitive to the mech profiles.
@@craigwalshbass4634 I wondered whether you have played the modern vintage MVP4-62 bass? Seems like another bass which models the bass from the same era
They’re not straight, although they do look pretty straight on photos/videos - they describe the radius of the board. Saddle angle doesn’t have that much of a bearing on intonation - it only does if you’re getting into super high action territory, where fretting a note can affect its tuning . It’s more about saddle position (forward and back) that determines string length of the fretted/open notes (sharp and flat). I’ve got custom basses with completely flat boards and you can have a flat/straight across saddle angle (pretty much), and there’s no affect on intonation. Thanks 👍🏼
Thanks man! It is so hard to find out anyting about moollon Basses because they're so rare. Nice to hear someone talking about the entire process!
You’re so welcome man! I really hope it helps and that you enjoyed it! 👍🏼
Great playing ! and one can totally hear the difference in tone in these P basses. It really stands out.
Nice review Craig. That bass looks and sounds wonderful. The Thomastik flats suit it perfectly.
Great job… This is probably one of the best or the best demo and detail and into the money and shipping I have ever seen… Great job mate. thank you so much - it really helps with making that future bass decision lol
👍🙏
Thank you mate, I really appreciate and I’m glad it helped you! I wanted to be as detailed as possible! Moollon makes incredible instruments!

Thank you for the video. I was looking for this information.
You’re so welcome, I hope you found it helpful! 👍🏼
Great review Craig,
Lots of useful info for anyone thinking of ordering a Moollon
Thank you! 🙏🏻👍🏼
Really nice. I'm considering ordering a 70's style one (ash, butterscotch blonde, maple neck) By this winter so I can have it when I graduate
Thank you! That’d be great, they’re incredible instruments!! 🙏🏻👍🏼

Mannnn what a piece 👌🏼👌🏼

WHAT A BASS ! BEAUTIFUL ! PRE CBS ? PROFILE NECK ? WOOW! THANK YOU !
Thank you! 🙏🏻👍🏼
Just adquired a Moollon P Classic in desert sand color, white pickguard with TI flats. Thanks for the vid.
Sounds amazing, how are you liking it?
@@craigwalshbass4634 loving it very much. Keep up the great vids.

I’m getting the exact same Bass this springtime .

Haha yeah the disclaimer was real!!! Thanks mate, I’m glad you like it! 👍🏼
@@craigwalshbass4634 Very much! Would get one of those over a Fender Custom Shop for sure! Thanks for posting!

WARM SOUND ! NICE !
I got my P-IV Classic in July and I absolutely love it. I also chose the truss rod access option. Now I have a J-IV Classic on order.
The Truss Rod route is a super handy addition isn’t it?! Ah that’s great, the J Classic is on my wish list too!
@@craigwalshbass4634 It certainly is a worthwhile upgrade Great info/review here and demo for anyone who wants to know more about a Moollon bass.
Beautiful P tone. Nice review
It sounds great! Just a curiosity: Is the fingerboard made of ebony?
Thank you! Yeah it‘s Ebony!
Awesome bass! I love the sound of the Moolons. By any chance, what sort of strings do you use?
Thank you! I use Thomastik-Infeld Flatwounds on this bass 👍🏼👍🏼

Yeah you’re right, they could definitely charge a lot more if they wanted to! That’s fair mate, we all have our things that turn us off on basses! 👍🏼
Do we have a truss rod? Should I order w truss rod?
Very good vid man. What kinda of music do you play with it?

whoa is your intonation okay with the bridge saddles set straight across like that?

Saddle angle doesn’t have that much of a bearing on intonation - it only does if you’re getting into super high action territory, where fretting a note can affect its tuning .

Any way to get subtitles?
I’m not sure, but I’ll have a look into it!!
