Here's the mockup of my LM5 (I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the thread but I changed the color to 3 tone sunburst), courtesy thndrstk6:

BOY does that look FAMILIAR!!! :D

Vic must have got you to change the color:p
Well... not intentionally, but maybe indirectly. ;) :D :D

Here's one I had thndrstk6 do a long time ago...

this post is cracking me up. im not trying to be a punk, but this reads like we're talking about precbs fenders or something. :D
Yeah, I know. I thought the same thing, but the whole time-line and move from one coast to the other kinda' fits, so I put it in there. Hey, at least he didn't sell his shop. :D
 
Very nice....Bullet truss rod I assume? Standard neck profile?

Yep, I think the bullet truss rod comes with the skunk stripe.

Yep, Vic I PM'd you about it back when I was thinking of switching it up to 3TS - that's the exact same mock up. I was drooling over that pic and the pics of the Nordy you ended up ordering so much that I had to go with it!

You will have to excuse Vic he's getting up there in age.:hiding:

I decided on the trans blonde butterscotch and in an earlier thread he had posted a pic of an old tele, which was exactly what I was looking for. I actually sent that pic to Jimmy for reference. When I posted the pics of the bass Vic didn't remember:crying:

After seeing that pile O' jazz in the Sadowsky thread. I wonder how many times he's woken up and said man wouldn't it be nice to have a 5 string jazz:smug:

/my poor attempt at:help: humor

You assume (incorrectly) that I forgot about the convos with Jason. I never told him what I thought he should get, I only showed him my "dream lm". He decided completely on his own to change his spec (tho I agree with his change). :D :D

Humor? I musta' missed something, 'cause you're right, it would be nice to have a J5 of some kind... maybe I should call Jimmy... ;) :D :D :D :D

Man seriously I don't even know if I could keep all my basses straight in my mind if I had all the wonderful toys you have. It would take me an hour to decide what to bring when going to a gig...:bassist:

I have this routine...

I throw them all up in the air, and the ones that land face down get put back in the rack. I keep doing that until I end up with 2-3 basses, which I take to the gig. :eek: ;)
