Just tying up some loose ends (a couple of LDS cab reviews I promised a few TBers a while back, etc.)
Edit: Almost put the RA up for sale... had it posted... thought better of it and deleted the thread!
Good luck with what you decide to do 
.
I guess it's probably playing bass, instead of talking about playing bass - if you get my drift.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
I may be on LI the middle of January but pre namm show.... still up in the air... i will keep my eye here to see what happens though.
I don't want to hijack the convo you guys are having, but I am really trying to become a member and had a quick question!
I have been in communication with Jimmy about a LM5 custom that he apparently has in stock that is very similar to the EUT5 shown on the current website. I know he is wicked busy with NAMM and I asked him for pics but I am not sure when I will see them.
So, my question is, have any of you been out to his shop recently and seen any of the basses he has in stock? It doesn't look like the website is up to date in terms of basses in stock.
Thanks guys!

OK, nevermind...right after I posted, Jimmy got back to me and he has updated the 'in stock' part of the website. Looks like the bass he was telling me about is the Big Redd!
Now having parused through this thread, I think it would be safe to assume that the bass formerly belonged to BigReddBass, which also makes sense as Jimmy told me it belonged to a friend who was playing a B'way show!
Not sure if you are around BigRedd, but I would love to know a little more about the instrument. I am really into that bass man.

Actually, as I understand it, the bass never belonged to Jason. He spec'd it out, which is probably what you're thinking of, but as far as I know, he never actually took delivery due to some changes in circumstances, so it became generally available as another stock bass.
Fair enough! As I look back at the emails, Jimmy never did say that Jason actually owned it, but that he traded it in.
At any rate, it is damn good looking, and I gotta figure out what the custom inlay work is on the 12th fret, not really visible on the stock photo. Thanks for the info.

Here is the page in the last thread where Jason posted it.

Peter, thanks for that, it was definitely nice to see a few more pics. Although it is badass to have you own alias as an inlay, it does throw me off a bit. Is that weird?
You will love that bass, my incoming LM5 is pretty much a metallic black version of it. It's the first A-C I ever played and was so blown away I wanted "my" version of it.
I understand your concern with the inlay, but think of it as the bass' name and not as a reference to Jason. The finish is ridiculous in person - CAR fading to Trans Red in the middle. I wanted mine this way too but that finish is EXPENSIVE!
Yeah man, of all the sound clips/videos I have heard and seen + all of the overwhelming positivity surrounding these basses, I can only imagine how much I would love the bass.
You make a good point as well concerning the inlay. Maybe I could look at it as sharing the groove with a great player such as Jason! I mean, he is from the old Beantown as well.
Let's see when Kirk sets his dates to be in town and see if we can get Gil involved. If it's just the 4 of us we can certainly get together by me. On the other hand I could always get Kirk in my car and hit the GW to get closer to you and Gil..Either way...
