Rick, how much is Jimmy asking for the red PJ5? It looks awesome and he offered it to me but only said it was "up there"....I obviously went with the TB5 but just curious
I thought that was the one when you said "weird looking TB"
Congrats I think it looks kinda cool.

I have no clue.. I should though, I've been there at the shop a lot doing the site, and taking pics of it! I'd ask Jimmy- really only he knows those sort of things...

Well you are not marrying that one for the looks. Must be a killer bass. What's the weight on her?
I bet you don't notice the black sides on a dark stage at all

haha thanks Dan....Pete, is that like doing it with the lights out? haha....I'm pretty sure it's 10.4 but I could be wrong....I actually really dig the look of it! that black border is pretty unique and the grain looks like old beachwood it's kind of cool....I was drawn to the smaller string spacing as well as the smaller scale pickups to match....just curious if that might add to my playing in any positive way haha....either way I needed another AC to be my "road bass" and Jimmy didn't have a hippy dippy 5 made for me in time so I went with this guy....if I don't like it I think I know a couple guys looking for a TB5! haha

hahaha! And anytime Pete! We're overdue for a an AC session anyway....you still have to try out the RA with the black diamonds on it....WHOLE different bass than before
Kirk, now all you need is a matching drumset. Sparkles have always been my favorite on drums.
Yohann, I had a delay on my neck, too, that had to be rebuilt. Suck it up, man! I appreciate the disappoinment, though.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
+1.. A drummer that i play with in Austin has a custom DW kit with a crushed Glass sparkle type set.. mmm gooks really cool...
I gigged this bass on a local gig last night.... it played so smooth and even, that it was real easy to go from shipping box to gig without any setup changes. Thats had fro me to do usually. I am a fanatic about how a bass feels.. Ask Jimmy... He'll tell ya... I really like how the neck on this one feels... the Low B string is even tension and not boomy or loose feeling, with a wonderful depth in tone.. My old road dog black Kbp5 that is back at the shop had a similar Low B..
This has the 1/4' larger body . .didn't think i was going to be OK with it.. but i always liked my old Yamaha BB3000 because of that exact reason.. And this feels real nice.

Not to keep beating this drum... but I even think the older P body looks better. The red one looks way too big to me.
To each his own though.

Thats my old black P 5.. That thing has traveled! It was just re-fretted by Jimmy last summer... Nice bass.. but i wanted something really weird for some reason... That is the 1st kbp5 that jimmy made and was at NAMM a few years ago.. And was one of the last to be made in the NYC shop. I think Hugh got the 2nd one for his gigs.
