I got my LG5 last week :hyper:

I can't upload the pics as they are too big but hopefully you can see them here:

This is a fantastic bass. The colour wasn't too my liking initially but in the flesh it oozes class and plays and sounds like a dream!!!

You can also link directly to your images using the "IMG" tag information from your album. Here's an example...

There's a nice looking tricked out Nitro/Dalbergia LG on Brian's Low End Bass site for sale for a pretty good price given the upgrades.

FYI.

Ken, thanks for the tip! I just called Brian at Low End and it's headed my way...:D

funny story is that is was being held for a trade and the guy never sent in his trade bass, so Brian released it for sale once again. Lovely looking instrument that will be eagerly awaited over here!

Even funnier story: After pinging a bunch of folks and having a few near misses on other used AC's, I just decided to call Jimmy up and put an order in for an LG5 TTSB with Brazilian Board. We spec'ed the entire instrument and then, the very next day, Brian calls and says the one on Low End was open again!

Alas, my deposit was in and I was "in progress" with Jimmy on nearly the same style bass. Not wanting to reneg on Jimmy and looking to add some versatility to the quiver, I have asked Jimmy to change the order to an LM5 Deluxe with Maple Board and Black Blocks w/Binding and, of course, Ash Body. This way I'll have the 70's thing and the 60's deal covered in spades...

I am thinking Ice Blue with matching headstock for the LM5... I have asked for Poly on this one, still on the fence and may go back to a Nitro (not sure:help:)

Needless to say, I'm broke and will have to put my Jerzy Drozd Mastery 5 up for sale... Still its an AC Bonanza over here...

Here's some of Brian's pix to whet the appetite:

Best,

EDIT: Update... This one is in the classifieds right now as I cannot swing two of these fine instruments. Have a look and let me know if I can help!

I had planned to post this right after it arrived, but somehow I never got around to it. Then I noticed an "Orange" Bass thread earlier this week and couldn't resist, but it obviously should be here too ........

This was also a 2009 NAMM Show bass and the photo was sent by Jimmy before I received it.

Awesome! Both those basses are wonderfully spec'd, and you should love them.

I had a Jerzy Drozd for a short while (the higher end bolt-on model with a fancy top... can't remember the model name). Nice bass, but I don't think you will miss it much once you get these!
