Hey Caner, I remember that! I wish I had a chance to a/b with yours before you left. ( btw got your message I'll be out until tomorrow)

Even though we PM'd congrats again to Joel with his "new" LG.

Hey Kirk, not sure quite yet if its going up but its the Classic Supreme below.

-3 tone burst /all NY/DN/all nitro/older body style/tinted neck . I got it back in late 2007.

I just posted above because Joel posted and I wondered if there would be any interest just casually ..and...wow...much interest for sure! I didnt expect that and would have waited to mention anything if I knew there was this kind of interest.

So like I wrote back to everyone I still have to decide after Jimmy sends some things up to me in the next few weeks. In the end I will have a few ACs that I'll have to move and one will be a Classic Supreme.

Here it is below the night I got it. Jimmy and I handpicked the woods in NY and the board is from the original old DN log in NY. Maybe the nicest burst I've owned.

I'm sure I've mentioned it, how could I not... But then again I'm all over sometimes, you know that. :confused:

Ya Bro, I was thinking about you the other day... We need to hang again soon. Maybe you can drive up for the SoCal GTG on April 23??? Or I always love going down to SD! I went to Pendleton for paintball a couple weeks ago.

Hey Mike,
I think the GTG is pretty set but that doesn't mean we all can't get together for a small one... Get in touch when the date gets closer... I'm sure Miko and Ed are down.

The GTG will be in Garden Grove... Not too close to you but it'll be worth the drive I promise... Here's the link to the thread: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f158/so-cal-bass-hang-part-3-a-756956/

Jimmy's done crowning my frets so LG5 Classic #74 is on her way back home! Even though he is super busy building even cooler ACs and preparing to speak at Stanford (wow), he worked my bass in so I could get it back in time for some performances. As always, he was a class act to deal with and I remain a huge advocate of him and his products. THANKS JIMMY! Good luck at Stanford!

My new LG showed up today (courtesy of Ken Jung!)

I need to take some photos and get it posted but, even after only an hour or so of playing time, I can pretty safely say that is sure doesn't suck! :D

It's an unbelievable fun bass to play. Rolling back the neck pickup a hair and backing the tone off 25% equals instant vintage J bliss. Punchy, staccato bridge pickup heaven -- Really fun stuff. I can't wait to gig her!

More to come...

Thanks Ken!

Yes congrats are in order :hyper:
(to JOEL C above this posting--on taking delivery of the Seafoam Green LG 5)

Hey what's up with that ?
My LG5 does the same thing with the neck pickup backed off and the tone turned about a 1/4 down.

Pure vintage 60's Jazz Bass punch !!
I couldn't agree more. :bassist:

It is amazing how the LG5 is pure Fender 60's vibe and the
LM5 is pure 70's vibe....awesome.

As a matter of interest I had just done a recording ( many various styles actually ). There were 11 tunes and I did 8 on the LG5 and 3 only on the LM.

IMHO I find that the LG is a better all around studio player and the LM really hits the ball out of the park..LIVE..having more bite/definition and clarity than the LG in a live situation.

It is a blessing to have BOTH.

Jimmy's got it going on :)
