Yeah, and really, the pile does NOT represent any particular order of preference, either. That LG definitely sets the bar for any other alder/rw J I'll ever play.Not on the top of the pile but the headstock makes for a cool focal point in the pic.

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...
WARNING: This only represents Vic's J basses
Ken's gonna have a pic like that soon but it's gonna be all P basses.
Bubba voice from Forest Gump: 'P Bass with nickels, P Bass with steels, PBass with old nickels, P Bass with flatwounds, PBass with old flatwounds, PBass passive, PBass with nitro, PBass with poly, Pbass with 4 strings, PBass with 5 strings, PBass reverese pickup......
See!!! Now just mix in an SVT and fridge and you'll be set.Bubba voice from Forest Gump: 'P Bass with nickels, P Bass with steels, PBass with old nickels, P Bass with flatwounds, PBass with old flatwounds, PBass passive, PBass with nitro, PBass with poly, Pbass with 4 strings, PBass with 5 strings, PBass reverese pickup......

lol yep, I just hadn't seen all his J's in one pic before! Reminds me of the pool table pic from the Bowlus Bass Borg a few years back.

lol!!!
I've probably missed it but what is the story behind the 'home plate' style neck plate on the LM5 Deluxe on the site? Was that something that Jimmy just tried or will it be on basses in the future?
Heck yeah. Money would be secondary in that gig. I'd work for a burger.Hire me, I'll work for bagels
I do not like to "gloat" per se but I will oblige soon and get some photos up. Be patient as my camera skills are very limited.
However, I'd have to humbly say BY far one of the most gorgeous basses I have ever googled.
The GOLD changes tints all day from bright in the morning to a sultry darkish tangerine translucent brassy rich kind of thing.
I've owned a 64 Shoreline Jazz-nice
83 Jazz Collector series in Aztec gold-very nice
Alleva LM 5 in Harvest Gold. Exquisite, sublime. THE NICEST
Nice!! Can't wait to see it! That bass is killin' on the site.I do not like to "goad" per se but I will oblige soon and get some photos up. Be patient as my camera skills are very limited.

In a conversation I had with Jimmy on this the "home plate" neck plate, he said it was experimental ( used on 3 basses for NAMM SHOW ) and I believe Pete ( or is it Vic ) has a one piece maple neck with a 4 bolt neck.
The micor tilt is not functional. Cosmetic only.
The neck plate is stamped EXHIBITION
Cool. Well from a purely aesthetic standpoint, the 'home plate' neck plate rocks. Would be nice if Jimmy offered that style neck plate if someone wanted it. Not sure how much goes into that, though.
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:
Hey Jason, I didn't even catch this yesterday but did you decide to go with blocks/binding?
