Ash/Maple Boutique J Family

Lovin' this bass! I normally do not like the vintage look and prefer no PGs but this bass just looks fantastic! Truly a nice piece!
 
Dang man thats some bad basses. Awesome collection. Do you have a pic of that birdseye up close?


I'm not much of a photgrapher, but this gives you a pretty good feel for the birsdseye and also the nice trans finish and figuring on the ash. It's really a beauty!!! I really like that 'big' eye birdseye. You don't see it much. TBer Vic just got an MTD that has a similar looking board. Really nice!

Not exactly like every modern J, but I made it to be the most versitile J instrument around. So I had Mike Lull build me a PJ5 but the J is in the 70's position. So it is a PJ but I love the J tone so much, so does it count? :hiding::hiding:

Congrats on your beautiful J family, Ken. If you get around to recording some sound clips of each of them, that would be cool too. :)

To join the ash/maple parade, here's my newly acquired Nordy VJ5. (BTW, doesn't the carpet look familiar?)
