Received my bass yesterday. The tone is killer! Gotta get it setup to my liking. It seems like the neck is a lil wider than my Cali models. Did Jimmy change neck profile over the years? It's been minute since I've played an AC. Could be from being use to the other model's neck. Anyway, it plays like butter! It even helps my clean tube Demeter amp sound warmer.
Corner Music Nashville received a Lake Placid Blue LG5 woth dots & binding yesterday. Sold this morning!
Think they replaced the jimmy bridge with a hipshot. I have a friend that replaced his jimmy bridge with a hipshot...had intonation problems.
I kinda agree...but it will be easy to change the covers. The bridge they have on now should match the holes of the old vintage br or possibly even the regular brass Hipshot 2 br that Jimmy has been using. We'll have to see.....

I think the new pickup covers look cool. The logo on the shell is actually kind of cool.
Speaking of AC pickups, I just recently put in a new set of Jimmy's P5 pickup into my 2008 KBP5. The bass was good before but it jumped up to to a whole new level with the new pickup. The new one has much more of that growl that I associate with vintage P-basses. I'm not sure what exactly Jimmy changed in the new spec -- but the new ones definitely move the bass even closer to an authentic 5 string version of a great vintage Precision. The B string is also much more integrated with the rest of the bass -- I'm really digging it.
I think it's amazing how Jimmy doesn't rest on his laurels -- He keeps improving the instruments and his designs.
