We went back on forth on it.. Jimmy wanted the plate, but my argument was that his signature is the non- plate up till now... That is a total prototype! He half finished it last night..

It's not the lack of control plate that sets me off; I'm used to that and dig that part of the AC vibe.
It's the shape of the plastic pickguard;
it's not "what my eye is used to in a '51 kinda bass."
I think the standard 51 p/g could live without the control plate, on an AC...??
The Fender 'cowpoke' was another sort of shot at that vibe that doesn't quite hit it for me...

Having a blast at NAMM. Spent a bit of time at the A-C booth before the formal start of the show. Beautiful stuff, and it was nice to spend some time with Kirk, and briefly meet Jimmy and his wife. I'll post up some pics when i get back
Wow...sorry to hear about the damage to your neck.
I'm sure Jimmy will get your bass finished and shipped to
you as soon as he can. I didn't want to bother him about
my LG5 either. I really hope you get your bass soon!!

Yo, I'm looking for my new KBP5, lime-teal metallic with matching headstock and tortoise guard. Exactly 14 months now, ordered and paid for when the wait was 14 months. There was a delay some months ago due to non-functioning truss rod. Anybody seen it? Hoping to spy it in these NAMM pics.
Glad to see the '51 type. Something I've thought of asking for. Or contoured, for a '54-'55 type.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
It was a pleasure meeting you Ken.. Even though I was still bleary eyed from a super late night work schedule the night before.
Hope to see you again this weekend.

I'm very interested in a review of the P/J5 and if he tried both 60's spacing and 70's spacing for the J pickup...
I got to try it for a few minutes yesterday and really liked it. Still sounded like my KPB-5 but the back pickup gets pretty barky when you dig in.

Thanks ricksy for the vid. Don't see mine. At least I know Jimmy didn't rush it. You're either Russian or European.
