If someone could give a quick rundown of the specs and details of those Walnut basses, that would be totally awesome!
My friend Sean did me a solid @ the show today and took some pic's of my fretless... 
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS BASS

That is a beauty. Kind of like Vic's LG in fretless version. Very nice! I bet that will just sing!
Thanks KJung
I always wanted a 70's fretless jazz bass, But never had the balls to de-fret one
this body is very special to me, being one of the last RA bodies that were cut and preped in NYC!!!
I thank Jimmy for all the time, countless e-mails and phone calls to make this happen
If I was 'king of the luthier world' and all powerful, I would decree the following:
1) No bass will be made, for any reason, by any luthier, without the Music Man/Sadowsky truss rod adjustment wheel design
2) No bass (edit: with an on-board preamp) will be made, for any reason, by any luthier, that does not have some sort of separate, easy access, battery compartment.
3) No bass will be made, for any reason, by any luthier, that does not ship with Duncan dual action straplocks.
So let it be written, so let it be done
+1 on that wheel for sure!

Scha-wing!!!! Stunning.
I talked to my dad today and he said Jimmy had 2 short-scale basses there. Either one or both were a single pickup design and he said they were his favorite thing at the show. He's a guit#^$ so thats saying something.
They were very cool with a tone that is somewhere between a P-Bass and an EB-3.
True, except what's even more custom on this one, is he started with his standard C profile and simply flattened out the back, so it's a really "fast" D profile. Not traditional at all, but very cool!

I want to be able to shut off the preamp without unplugging the cable.
So no battery drain if I leave it plugged in
I can see that. But I've never had much of a problem leaving mine plugged in after playing and then sitting through service - a couple times. One way I get around it sometimes is muting my tuner pedal and unplugging.
ok.. here it goes.. last year i used too much of a fisheye, so i used my little leica and even did a video ill post a link to after....
that lil pink bass was CRAZY TO SAY THIS!!
KILLER!! its tone was unmatched from the ones i played..jimmy and all agreed that whoever owns it..will not be easily forgotten...hahaha

ps... the shortscales sound great.. the blue has hard edges and the pink is rounded edged.. very cool! on another side note saw the famous Tom Bowlus trying the great new Aguilar pedals thru an AC....
