Glenn Severin's black LG5 and a LM5 natural for Hajime... notice he ordered the LM5 with no pickguard screws... I guess the guard will be coming on and off

Oh yeah, those are NICE! Looking forward to more pics
over the next few weeks.

It has more punch than my LG5, but it had less booty. It isn't as full sounding as my LG5 either. The bass sounds great, don't get me wrong ... i'm super fussy and it just isn't what I am looking for.
Nope ... No DN here.
I have the first LG5, so DN wasn't an option.
As great as it sounds, it hasn't impressed me enough to spend the dough on it for any of my other A-C's.
Just my $0.02, but the RA5 is very different than the LG5, and is extremely versatile - does a great job with the slap/funk thing, but has a deep rich sound for fingerstyle as well. Obviously the LM5 is a further departure from the LG5 than the RA5, but for me "more" different is less desirable. Of course I have a huge RA bias...
You're killin me...
BTW... your RA-5 is the backgound on my computer.

+++++++++1 I tried a couple at NAMM this year. They're great basses but it would probably spend more time at home in my closet than on stage. I'm very happy with my LM5 choice. I should be getting it around NAMM time.
I'm going to NAMM in January, and I'm definitely visiting Jimmy's booth. All I have to say is...

Yeah, his booth will most definitely be worth checking out. All of those ACs will be right in your face just begging for you to take them home. Yep. You're going to need a LOT of help.

$3000? That's about 1k short of the quote Jimmy gave me for a standard KBP 4. Forget it.
ouch..........last I heard, they were still just under $3k..........anyone else know of a price jump....?

Thanks-thats what I meant-pickup placement not string spacing.Just noticed that in my question.Duh.Trying to multi task is not good sometimes.But......again,thanks
Better pics as promised... White LG5 Fretless, with ebony fingerboard. No idea what the finish is. Jimmy? The ebony really helps this one sing, and it's ready to go after Mitch set it up yesterday. It's probably still in for one more string change before it's totally right.
