So what was your hopeful delivery date time frame?+1...I can't wait. I know it's gonna be a killer bass regardless, but I'll be interested to see what flavor of killer it is.

And as we speak Jimmy is out of Ash... He's been talking to me about taking a trip to the lumberyard (I drive a truck) to get some new stock.
Not to speak for Jason, specially since he's getting a body that's ready but we ordered the same week back in October. I expect mine in October for Bass Player Live... But hopefully Jason gets his sooner since I was ok with waiting a little and having it displayed at the show so Jimmy isn't so pressured to build.

+1...I'm hoping for sometime in September, but I don't know for certain. The last time I talked to Jimmy was last month, and at that time the body was done and ready for paint but he was still working on the neck.
CHEF:
Thanks a lot for your comment.
A 14 pound 4 string 77 Jazz !
WOW-- is that thing in the Guiness Book Of World Records?.
Man, also on that beautiful 5 string Lake Placid Blue with blocks just posted--how did that one ever get away ?
STUNNING.

It's hard telling from some of the pics because the color appears differently in some photos but it's actually Ice Blue Metallic. One of my favorite finishes.
And we can blame that one on the horrible thing known as GAS. Followed by the lament that what you really want is a bass that you have already had. Oh the horror...

yeah .. my LG5 custom weird thing will done done around then too.. Had Jimmy take a few chisel chips off the body here and there....tweak tweak,,, looking forward to it..
Must be nice to have that kinda' access to the shop!!
So are you and your tweaks the reason some orders have been delayed?
It's ice blue metallic, and I have the brother bass! I wasn't silly enough to sell mine though.

I remember lying in bed and checking my email on my phone and seeing that pic come through. Was an awesome time. I'll have another. I may just copy my first bass. We'll see.

haha.. oh man... even though i would like to be.. Im not that special.. (memo to self. you're not that special..)
No he is doing it with a chisel on his lunch breaks.. if he gets a lunch break..
He is up to his eyeballs in orders right now..
Im trying a slight downsize body with deeper cutaways here and there... so that messes with the neck pocket .. PG ect..
He does do custom for sure..
Got my refret back... feels great... and plays like buttah

+100 on the bolded part.
I will be coming to the shop this week so we can route the body of my bass... Then, with his watchful eyes over my shoulder I will be sanding it personally! I still also have to choose a neck, I have my fingerboard set aside but not the neck.
I am still contemplating the extended "Ruben" cutaway but I'm just not sure if I would want that in the long term.

Wow.. we should get a discount.. You helping sanding... me actually cutting my body blank with Jimmy in January.. ahha.... there is a video somewhere
My bass is gonna be light in weight.... Im thinking of going Sonic Blue Nitro now to match the Poudah kbp4 bass. But with Blocks on the FB.. He and i were knocking colors back and forth and i think thats the deal

Jason,
Are you going for the standard neck profile or the thicker one like Jimmy did for me?

I didn't specify anything for the neck, so I guess it would be the standard profile.
