At the begging of others in the 'Ray thread, here's a pic of some of Justin's bass collection (found on the www.justinmj.com site).



Of course we'd all like to see more pics if you got 'em, Justin.

the burst on that Lakland P looks a bit different than any burst on a Lakland I've ever seen

Hi Mr. J,

As a lover of Japcrap myself, would love to see some of your cheaper stuff.
I'm buzzing off a 60's (Matsumoko) Commodore semi at the moment that I got for equivalent of about $80.

Come on mate, show us some hidden treasures (please)!

All the best
Nick

Much as I'd like to see what cheesy 60's basses Justin has, I wanna see your Commodore! Be sure to post a pic in Basses when you get it.

'Other things'?

You, like, got a gig going or somethin?

That other amp in the pic is some other Ampeg, not mine...it was in the room at Lon Cohen's (where my cartage gear is stored) and belongs to them.

I don't have much other Japanese weirdness, though I sure wish I did.

Yeah, I "got a gig or somethin'", but that's no excuse for me to keep buying anything I get excited about. I must stop and start paring things down, it's just getting too much for my house and my cartage storage.

My wife would never let me do it, but if you ever pare down that Club Bass, I would find a way to buy it and hide it from her
