The Poudah bass was instrumental in my wanting a pastel color. I love Sonic Blue, Daphne Blue, Surf Green, and faded Fiesta Red.

First Ding,, Now i can just sit back and enjoy it without worry . I posted this on my FB page. Jimmy wrote and said he is surprised it took so long to do that. He is 100% correct. My schedule and gigs, this should have happens weeks ago. LOL.
Its been on at least 60 shows or sessions already...

I ordered a bass from him about 1 year ago and its almost done.. A lightweight Alder Jazz 4 LG4.... .Black Poly Body and headstock. Indian RW Capped fingerboard with Dots and Binding.. In Memory of caesar his dog.. and my dogs .. I want a Laser dog face on the PG. Maybe a DogBone at the 12th fret.. few more months.. should go to paint next week

How many Allevas you have?
He's playing around with an Olympic white LG5 that if it comes together in time for my 60th in December I'll likely jump in

Yep, my sentiments exactly. Just got my first LG4 "battle scar" (drummer was involved,Oh wow, no way! Bass buds indeed!! You have a sick bass btw.
I used to be extremely anal about how I kept the condition of my basses, but that was the case for the basses I had planned on buying to try and flipping if needed, just because of how most people who are into high-end basses like to keep their gear.
And likewise, THIS bass, my LG5, will not part from me God willing! I don't plan to ever get rid of this bass, so resale condition doesn't really matter to me anymore. So, my heart doesn't break every time I find new dings hahah.
) but didn't really bother me. It's great knowing when you have keepers and not flippers!Attachments

Jimmy sent me pics of the frets after being PULLED from my kbp4 neck. The neck will be trued and refretted with mandolin wire frets. Ive used mandolin wire since the 70s..

Almost there today.. I guess Sebnem is winding pickups today. It cost a pretty penny to get this done. I have shows coming up in Europe and next week with lance lopez. I only wish i heading out with Lances other band with billy gibbons and steve lukather on guitars at the end of the month.. Maybe i can arrange an accident for the bass player..

I paid hefty for it... That service does not come free. He is super busy.. I had it for 12 years . it has been around the world a few times.. And it really needed a refrett. Im heading out on a new gig and i want it to be in shape again

Krispy Kremes, look at that fingerboard. I've always liked really dark rosewood boards, but figuring like that makes my teeth itch!
