Agreed. Mitch can attest to the quality of my most recent AC. It's a work of art and fit and finish is perfect.
Inevitably, bad stuff happens every once in a while with every manufacturer -- I'm sure Jimmy will resolve whatever is going on.

+1 Joel's newest LM is def the golden child of his collection. That thing is just DAMN.
I just remembered that my TB LM5 was also a "mistake" bass and I bought it on the cheap from Jimmy. He wouldn't specify what the mistake was, and other than some kind of blocky looking cutaways (similar to this "disaster bass" but no where near as bad) I couldn't physically tell that anything was wrong. Maybe he knew he had installed the truss incorrectly and that's why he's been "fixing" my neck for free for the last 9 months, but either way, this AC has been my favorite of my 3 and the only one I actually have kept. I really hope Jimmy does the right thing with this. Reading the whole story will definitely put a bad taste in anybody's mouth!
Bingo... and then to follow it up telling the guy "oh well, the bass is as described."
Agree...
I have had maybe 6 or 7 AC's over the years and they have all been amazing instruments.
The KBP5 in Plum Crazy color that I have now is a stunning recent build that plays and looks fantastic.
It is a shame that all this happened and I am sure Jimmy will make it right... I am certainly hoping it turns out right in the end.
My Best,
Mike
For the record, I don't doubt for a single second that there are some AMAZING A-C basses out there.
A few of the people who post on this board whom I admire have some that they love, and I respect their opinions immensely.
Those simple reasons are why I wanted to be part of the "club" so bad... unfortunately, it didn't work out for me as well as it has for some of you.
It's very, very frustrating... I am really bummed that this happened.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
I am out of town this week but got a message from a person on this forum telling me about this. I spoke with jimmy about this last week more to come
I've been waiting for this.
I've seen you jump to Jimmy's defense in other threads. I get it... He's your friend. He's lucky he's got guys like you to help protect him and fight his battles.
I have dozens of back and forth emails to prove everything I say. I also have dozens of pictures and even more videos I haven't posted.
I encourage you to post what you think you have that will contradict anything I have said.
Because, frankly, you don't.

To me, the problem isn't "mistakes were made," cause everyone does.
It's how they're dealt with that makes the difference.

Actually chef you are right I am trying to help. And I know jimmy will too. I am out of town and typing on my iPhone with tiny little keys and this is really difficult to do it properly
What would help is not implying a TalkBass member is lying (in the original post) and instead adding some useful information...or waiting until you're able to provide information, or encourage Jimmy to post on TB or contact the customer. If the customer is being inaccurate, then let the truth come out.
Insulting a member or heckling his experience ("Good I hope you enjoy it.") won't go far here.
Love the red Jazz...I fell in love with that bass months ago, and begged Chris to sell it to me. NOW I know who bought it!! LOL
Keep me on your short list when it's time for a new home!!
Anyways, I feel bad for Addison and hope that it will be resolved. On a completely different note, here i am goofing around with my hippy Pbass. Clearly I need a bit more practice in order to remember this tune!
I'm very sorry any of this has happened at all...its certainly has not been my experience with Jimmy and the basses he's made for me. There have been niggly things that were easy to change or fix, but thats also been the case with basically every other brand I've owned too. I really hope Addison and Jimmy can resove this ASAP.
