My main question is how do you think a LM would sound with a Rosewood board which is offered by request? I would love to a/b some AC's but that is not easily done. I do appreciate the you tubes and sound bytes which a really a nice reference point.

I have played a few LM5's with rosewood. Dan (Bass 7755), has a ridiculous one in trans white that I'm still kicking myself for not buying.
These basses are warm, full sounding & punchy ... very reminiscent of a '78 Fender Jazz. The last one that I remember Jimmy making was for Bass Player Live last october ... it was in the Dunlop booth ... it was killin' too.
I actually have one on order. It's waiting to be painted and I can't wait.
I love my LG5, but in my head, it has never really been "my sound".
I used to own an Atelier Z 5str in trans white that I loved, so Jimmy suggested this combination for me. I only parted with the Atelier Z because it had 17mm spacing and was much more difficult for me to play than a 19mm spacing bass.
There are a few ash/rosewood A-C's floating around ... hopefully the other TB'ers can get you some clips.
I don't think that you would be disappointed with this combo.

Hey guys,

Now that you're talking about a LM w/ rosewood... Has Jimmy made a KBP4 or KBP5 with ash body and rosewood fingerboard like those '59 P-basses? Just curious...

The one with the anodized guard is just a beaut:cool:

He hasn't done that yet ...
As of NAMM this year, he just started making ash body & maple board KBP's ... and both the 4 & 5 are amazing.

Jason, if you weren't such a great guy, I'd officially hate you for your access to Jimmy's shop... then again, my bank account is pretty happy about it... ;) :D

Cool! :)

Hey, do you have a complete list of all the members and their numbers saved somewhere? What I do in the thread I'm the club maintainer for is I do a "mega update" every once in a while which is a complete list of all members and numbers... I've seen other clubs do that and it helps avoid confusion. :)

Ace,
I would sure like a number! Picked up my CAO LG-5, nitro, Indian Rosewood, matching head stock,baby in October, 2008.
The bass is a dream, as you know, and Jimmy is the best when it comes to service and his talent for creating these instruments is outstanding!
Cheers!!!
MG

Cool, hey, up to you, and if you want, let me know and I'll shoot you an example post. I'm up to I think over 200 members in the one, so I can show you how to condense if you want, but to be honest, I think it might be a while before the AC club gets that large. It's kind of an expensive club to join. :)
