Yes to all of your questions.
Also, the sunburst limited (btw the tele gtr & green bass) has a koa top.
The tele gtr is orange paisley, hand painted by Mrs. Coppolo who also winds all of the pickups.
There is a 5 str LG5 with a prism paint job that changes color with the light. (Behind the purple KPB4)
The fiesta red LG5 and Ice Blue LM (both in the pic with the black block RA5) are both part of Jimmy's new export line, the EU-T model, for sale internationally only. The body wood he used is called Primavera and will only be available on the exports.
To me & mitch, it sounds like alder with a sweet spot boost in the mids.
Speaking of Mitch, he bought my favorite bass of the show. A "root beer" brown LM5 that is absolutely killin!!! Since I'm not a maple/ash guy, there have been only 3 or 4 LM5's that Jimmy has made in 4 years that have knocked me out & this bass is one of them.
Congrats Mitch.
Oh, yeah ... The maple board KPB5 is Antigua !!!
There is a blue LG4 that has a sparkle finish.
This is all that my brain will let me remember without coffee ...
Hopefully somebody who attends the show today can fill in the blanks.
I'm back after a 20 page absence....been doin' a lot of reecording a a bit of gigging. wow...time for part 6 already...let's all agree to leave the great rosewood debate buried her in part 5......?..
....
...the NAMM pics look great and that striped green LG is just amazing looking.....I've had an opportunity to listen to my friend Walter (we're still looking for his Modern 4
)play his LM-5....I'm convinced..that bass sounds as close to a late 70s J as I have ever heard and it's LIGHT and has a BadAss bridge........fantastic....if I buy another bass some day, it will be an lm-5 for sure.....can't wait for more pics..my bass is STILL magic..go Jimmy.....

Welcome back, and +1 on the RW! I agree on the LM5 also.
I REALLY LOVE all 3 of these KPB5's!
I'm out of GAS money right now. But, a KPB5 might
be a nice addition.

Cheers, from the rest of the worl participating in the AC mania!

Zeb... You'll find a couple of photos of mine in this part of the thread that is basically Paul Turner's bass with a couple of touches that I had to have. And it was completely sight unseen - being in Australia and all - I just went off a few mates words - including a couple close to Paul and I couldnt be happier with what I have!!

Here are pics of the Root Beer LM5. This bass and the white KBP5 were absolutely off the charts KILLIN' tone! My first time at NAMM...I've still got a smile on my face!!
(Sorry for the crappy pics)

Is that a CAR RA-5 with a Rosewood board? Or a LM either way thats new....... that's a combo I've been waiting to see a mid late 70's jazz ash body five with a rosewood board.
Or is it "just" a LG.

Look at that green one right under the word "Alleva" on the banner!!! Anyone got a close-up?
Here are some more pics. Not really anything different than what was posted on the previous page, but maybe different angles.
The first one shows the green one a bit closer. It's actually a P body with J p'ups.

I'm loving the Walnut finish on Mitch's LM5!! I'm a huge fan of that color.
Oh the gas..........
Oh the gas..........
I like that Jimmy didn't give up and IMHO improved upon the racing stripes thing. I'm not sure what the inspiration but I think that green striped bass "Works" better than the Uma Thurman/Game Of Death Bass. Almost like a Lotus Racing Car from the 60's
