Love that bass....

Hi Miko,Hey guys,
Thanks for the words on my bass. I can't wait til its done!
Jimmy's got a bunch of spalted alder in the shop all stacked up and ready to go. Next time I'm at the shop, I'll shoot some pics of the pieces. My buddy Ed changed the body to spalted alder instead of the regular alder on his RA5. The spalted alder is something. Very light, dry, got killer grain, and it is perfect with the 2 tone burst!
There's gonna be a 4-string spalted alder bass at NAMM. The finish is exactly the same as mine. I'm not sure about the neck and fingerboard on it though. I'm gonna be at NAMM setup on the 13th so I will take pics of everything that's there for everyone here on TB.
Hi Miko,
Did you happen to catch if Jimmy has any Dalbergia left?
Thanks Peter, I have been really busy and I just got around
to setting it up and spending some time with it today.
It came with Sadowky Blue Nickles on it. They sound okay...
but I'm thinking about putting flats on it.
Wow Miko, your Coppolo is gonna be awesome!!
Chef, that is a GREAT pic!! Your LG-5 has a LOT of "mojo" !!
Happy New Year
Dan

Ask him about it if you want a bass with a DN board.

Miko,
Does your new bass have Jimmy's larger body size or no?
No, its got the older body style also with the separate battery compartment at the back.
My other bass will have the newer body style.
