|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Nebraska | | | I would be very interested in trying this out to see how it compares to the current LEJs. I note it looks more like a traditional J with the pickup placement and the Armstrong pickups. Does it sound a bit more like a classic J? |

I can't compare it to the newer models because I've not played one.

|  | Life is Tough. Laugh more. Moderator | | Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Warwick, Rhode Island, USA | | That looks like it was built by Chris Benavente. He does
beautiful work.
If you end up considering trades, I would offer a straight
up deal on a Benavente fretless Vintage Vortex 5 in
trans red. I have the link somewhere.
Anyway, bump for a great bass and a great deal. 
Edit, sorry missed the no trades line, I was too
busy drooling over the bass.
