you should have bought it man.that one was the truth. out of all the a/c's ive played, that was the one that really had "something".
Yeah yeah yeah, you're right...
I forget what I had just bought when it was at the shop. 
Probably that 44-94 I had.
Yes it is,,,,,,
Fender had trouble applying decals to Poly finishes so they made the head stocks nitro. The result is the head stock aged/tinted.
Jimmy's replicating that.

Jimmy's nitro painter took a vacation or something, my KBP-5 won't be finished for another month or so. I'm still loving the LG-5 though.

That bass may be silver, but I'm green with envy. Nice score, Alan!
FWIW, this thread is giving me more GAS than a Chili Cookoff. My wife was giving me a hard time the other day for drooling all over the pics of that sweet Iced Tea A-C that was for sale recently.
GAS.
Gig report:
Rig: Markbass F1, 2x Berg AE210
Basses: AC LG5, Sadowsky JJ5 Ash/Maple
The room was really crappy, we jammed ourselves into a space that was really too small for us all, and worse, we were playing right in front of a huge mirror.
Even with the tight sound of the AE's I actually still pulled a bit of low end out of the F1. The horrible sound in that room and the fact that I had to pretty much stand on top of my amp means I can't talk a lot about tone, but I can at least talk about cut and coherency.
As you'd expect, both basses absolutely excelled. For last night's gig, the Sadowsky actually worked a little better because it had that extra bit of edge. However, despite the fact that, during soundcheck I thought the LG might suffer from this room, I was happily wrong. Even without favoring the bridge pickup the LG absolutely had no problem maintaining a clear identity in the mix. So even from low to high, plenty of focus and clarity. And again, that "alive" thing. The LG has something special going on there. The whole bass just seemed to kinda' resonate with whatever I was playing. Way cool.
This really isn't a competition because these are different animals, but the nice thing about this is dual J gig is that the crappy room was a great way to give both basses an acid test, and they both passed with flying colors.
Sound quality should be much better tonight, so I could go back to my Epi cab, but I'm gonna stick with the same rig and see what happens.

LOL, meh, it's just a digital camera shot in my basement. I totally don't care if you wanna' continue to use my pics, feel free, I take it as a compliment, but I'm sure you can do it too if you want. Nothing special about my stuff. Just an old Sony H1.

so i picked up my bass on Friday.. it sounds incredible.... i only took pics with the white pickguard because there plenty of pics of Oly.White with torts out there... and probably cause i was too lazy to switch them as well.. can i get a AC number now?? 
Man ricksy! Looking at your pictures makes me wish I had an Oly White too. :scowl: I don't think being on TB so often is very good for my wallet/bank account/savings account. It's really been starting to dwindle in the past year and a half.

I love the white guard on it! Very nice!
I'm pretty sure that's the stuff that when melted is very useful in extinguishing wildfires....
