What are the specs of the NF5? I think I missed them somewhere.

 

[76Dub]

That green striped 5 is the greatest bass I have ever seen. I don't even want to know the price

 

[Hollow Man]

What are the specs of the NF5? I think I missed them somewhere.

As far as I know, they've not been released.

 

[DrGroovenstein]

Whelp, I move the sadowsky -- so I guess its time for the next AC

I'm sure Jimmy will post the proper spec after the madness of the show calms down.
The one that he's made so far is basically an LM with a satin finish on the body & neck, different hipshot tuners & bridge, the Aguilar OBP 3 pre-amp & limited color options. (the NAMM bass is black)

The NF5 will NOT have the Coppolo pre-amp, passive tone, nitrocellulose or urithane finish, matching headstock, blocks, binding, bent plate bridge,standard hipshot bridge & tuners.

How does it play and sound?

 

[NYJimmy]

Hey Everybody, The correct specs on the NF5 are:
'60's p.u. spacing, oil finsish maple neck and board, Aguilar 3 band, NO pickguard, NO passive tone, NO Battery compartment Black ONLY, import hardware. IT IS NOT A LM5!!! The body wood is NOT a choice it all depends on what I have extra laying around... SO NO OPTIONS, it is what is a no frills bass made by me at a lower price point.

Sounds cool to me.

 

[DrGroovenstein]

Ok, help me spec an LM-5 I'm thinking all white w/ blocks and binding, but thats sorta been done a few times.hmmm. Or maybe I'll just do a 1600 to replicate my Sadowsky.

Guys there were raving about how the green one sounded and played.

QUOTE=Andrew Jones;6831916]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.

Yes, it's an RA5. There's a purple one there too on the left with just dots, no blocks & binding ... and it has the bent plate.

Jimmy has made 2 natural ash/rosewood 5's with 70's spacing in the last 4 months. One was at bass player live. Both were killin'. They were huge sounding basses, most likely because the ash was on the heavy side, pushing 10 lbs.
I love that sound ... Like a '78 Jazz.[/QUOTE]

You might want to contact Jimmy via phone and email if you are really serious. Not sure if he'd catch the post here on TB.

 

[smakbass]

Which green one?

The one with the racing stripes.
