Nice bass here and a nice price

Pretty sure it's a classic supreme judging by the bound fretboard

Nice! RAs are amazing. I've had mine since 2009.

Unless it's an incredible deal the price and description points to poly which means it's def not a CS. But hey, maybe they forgot to mention nitro and it would be a steal.

I also want to do shoutout to the folks at Bass San Diego. They are awesome folks, They had assist me in numerous times including getting my AC RA5 and without a doubt one of the best costumer Services and friendly people around.

Awesome bass, As soon it was place on their website i saw it and bought it. The color on this bass it's just stunning. I originally wanted a LM5, but i am glad I got this RA5 because it kills.The best Jazz bass I have ever owned

Glad you're happy with it. RA's are more rare in the market and are a hidden gem.

That is very true, when i started to get interested in the AC basses I noted there isn't that much talks and videos on YouTube about the RA.

Just setup my beloved LG5... take off the original black pickguard for some cleaning and idea on getting a clear or matt black guard is growing on me now..

 

[mrbassman_de]

Here the same. I wrote Jimmy several emails - including a price quote for a new purchase order and never got a response ... hm...

Got a response from Jimmy after a re-send with less attachments. May be emails with huge files attached are blocked.

Hmmm..... makes me think that I might remove the guard from my EUT-5 sometime soon. ...just for the halibut

Clear, definitely!

Thanks for the props; that's a hard color to photograph! We have multiple lights to get it to look in images how it looks IRL. Most pics of it make it look nearly black, which is just not the case!

Tim, I've held back these feelings for so long: I covet that bass. That sparkle black is one of the slickest colors I've ever seen on a bass! That said, I like the idea of matte black, but i still want it to be 3-ply so it has that white accent around the edge...

Hi George, I originally opted Charcoal Frost finish for my build, but then professor finished this bass in more metallic'ish / sparkle finish... which I actually like it even better I got some sparkle basses myself and I always love them...

Meanwhile, I sent my black guard to duplicate a clear guard, the bass is now have the white guard on which Jimmy originally cut for the bass even I spec'ed with the black guard, he said he want the full authentic 66' look when he finish the bass... You know him!

Looks pretty damn good right there. See what he was thinkin

Oh yeah, Jimmy and I have talked about your bass before. It's famous with me. I was at one point thinking I wanted a Charcoal Frost finish and Jimmy told me the Professor's CFM came out with bigger flakes and I didn't have the vision to see how cool it would be. What we refer to as "Sparkle Black, like Timothy's" is one of my favorite colors since seeing it. If I can ever get a KBP5, I think that's the color it'll be!

@Not yet , how's stuff with you? Long time no see for obvious reasons, but I hope the Vino Rosso LG/LE5 is still killing it!

I like the white guard Timothy, real classic but still different/modern with the sparkle body.
