Ash/Maple Boutique J Family

Here's my Nino J5 - the body is ash underneath the quilt, I promise.

With the tort guard:

With the clear guard (and, please, all the jokes about my bass face in this shot have already been told):

You're right! Too many moons have passed, my brain mis-fires occasionally. :D I guess I obviously have them in the same musical category...

That's not very hard to do- Carly Simon and Carole King are in pretty much the exact same vocal range and their voices do sound alike. I've often thought the same about Sting, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel, but to a lesser degree.
 
While I have a bunch of Ash/Maple boutique basses and have a Jazz in the works (;)), these three are the only Jazzes I've had that fit the bill IIRC. The Elrick New Jazz Standards look like Jazzes but sound like something else.

I'm guessing my Warmoth wouldn't qualify as boutique (then again maybe it does) but here it is anyway. Bart pre and 59J's.
