I hear ya.. Just one more day. Tomorrow will be the longest day at work ever!
Hey Tomixx, As per your request from yesterday's phone call here's a photo or two of today and yesterdays build. Not as much as I'd like to get done this week but as I mentioned I am still looking every day for a place to live. Being homeless is not fun
. Any way the first LG5 in hippy wood natural is for Jaques in France, the Sunburst is Brian W's, the first Oly White is William Kim's but don't tell him cause he'll just call me a million times... Just KIDDING
... wanted to see who's sleeping
, the other Oly White is for Bum Choi and the CAR I should have completed sometime tomorrow for Paul S. I hope you enjoy these photo's of the build. Hopefully I can continue posting progress and updates for you and the club members. Talk to ya soon.
Jimmy

OH man Cool deal! I know everybody appreciates this too! I got my LG5 back today! I played her for a couple of hours after she came and had to run out...I have been here for about 9 hours now and I have only put her down long enough to go to the john or get some water....FABULOUS bass! What the hell was I thinking to give her up???? mikebass has taken good care of her and she is none the worse for wear. Most even sounding 5 I have ever heard. I have my 55-94 out and I put new strings on both to compare....I love them both! The 55-94 gives me a lot of different more modern tones and the LG5 is all Vintage Jazz!!!! Your pre is so awesome! I can dial up a more rounded modern tone but it never loses that Vintage vibe!! I hate to say this but I put the Marcus back up for sale....I don't need it at all. The LG5 covers anything I would need to do with that close enough for me. A little bass and treble boost and a more aggressive assault and it is as close as I need it to be! The LG5 will be main weapon for the forseeable future! I wish you all the best in finding a place and getting settled and I am really happy to see your work taking off like it has. I was convinced it would happen the moment I played my first Alleva! Great talking to you and I look forward to any update you can post like this! Thanks a million bro! God Bless!
Peace,
T
My bass looks great.
Thanks Jimmy, for posting the pics.
Can't wait to get to Australia and get my hands on it.

Very cool pics, Jimmy! The updates are great. They make the wait so much easier. I certainly appreciated it when I was waiting for mine and I know all your customers here on TB do as well. Plus it gives us a chance to see more Alleva's!
Mine is out on the truck for delivery! Can't wait!!!

I'll miss her for sure!!!!
My KBP4 shipped at the same time as yours and Bernie's, but UPS STILL hasn't updated the tracking info...it only shows it leaving CA Monday. Where's my bass?

I called Jimmy today to see when I could take a trip to the shop. We're gonna touch base on Monday and set up a time for next week. It will be great to check out the new basses.
