Moon Bass

Post by Brett Zeppelin »

This might be pretty far out there; but does Moon Guitars even even make a bass guitar for a lefty? I once was able to find their site in English via Google a few weeks ago — at least I thought I did — but haven't been able to recreate that magical Google search recently. I could be confused by their mixed language setup. It would probably clarify a lot about their offerings if I could view their site in English.

Anyway, I think these guys make some of the sexiest looking basses on the planet. The JJ4 might be my "ideal bass" — especially the Larry Graham model:

Yowser! That thing is so white it blends into the background of this site! I absolutely love it, though. Here she is with just a touch of Photoshopping to see what it looks like onscreen without being washed-out by the site's background:

PS — sorry if this is in the wrong forum. It felt like the best spot to put it.

You can run their official page through Google Translate. I just did this, and they don't mention left handed models on their website. On the JJ, they offer: solid color, metallic, sunburst, matching headstock, fretless (ebony only), gold hardware, black hardware.

I'd be surprised if they don't do lefties; they're more commonly done in Japan.

If it's the look you want though, I'm sure Regenerate could make you a similar looking bass pretty easily.

Moon Guitars had a repeated financial crisis.
Since the year of 1995 is finishing setting up JJ and JB by the part of made-up articles, such as Warmoth, and a scratch was not carried out but there was no originality, reputation was unsatisfactory also in Japan.
Then there was a thing without the PGM Logo around the year of 2007, they had requested to create in some builder.
However, they will improve financial health in 2 or 3 years these days, begin to make a bass again in a PGM, and came to produce a high quality.

Although they can make Lefty, I think that English is Poor (like of me) since the person of business is also a Japanese.

I have Lefty Moon JJ-5.
