According the NF5 specs, that looks to be the bass.

 

[ricksy]

Yes that's it..

 

[KJung]

Cool!

In keeping with tradition, here are my two. And, per request, here is a reposting of the link to the sound clips of both that I posted on the previous thread.

It's at the bottom of the home page. Many of the links aren't working yet (contact, etc.).

Yep, that's him.

While I think the NF5 is a good idea, I'm not too sure about the oil-finished maple neck. Even with the price-point significantly cheaper than your typical LG/LM, for $2400 I'd want a pretty rock-solid neck. Seems like an oil-finish would be more susceptible to moisture and humidity changes and would require constant tweaking of the truss-rod, but I'm no expert.

 

[Basseroni]

Yeah, same here, which is why I double checked. Well, it's an import, so maybe that's why I've never seen one like that... I'm most familiar with the A's and B's which I think are still made here. Anyway, thanks for the info!

No problem, Vic.

Musicman necks are oil finished, they don't seem to be susceptible to moisture or humidity changes than any other bass.

Good point!

Ahh thanks!

Hmm anybody prefer rosewood fingerboard on a 70s jazz?

 

[Andrew Jones]

Big Red Does.

Absolutely the last thing I need to know, but what are the specs on that Kiwi Green bass? Jimmy? Jason? Mitch? Beuller? Just killer...

NO

Don't know if I "prefer" it, but I do like that transition period bass - 70's pickup spacing, alder body, rosewood. I don't know that I've ever heard an ash/rosewood thing, other than on my Sadowsky NYC. It was pretty good, but I'd like to hear Jimmy's version of that particular combo.
