I'll grab a pic of them next time I am at my studio where they live... Both are semi hollow and very retro looking, strung with flats and designed for an easy transition, sound wise, back and forth from an upright. The Richard Leach resembles a cross between an early 50's P bass and a Dano and the Goldenrod is basically a semi hollow, long scale Dano longhorn... Both very cool basses made by luthier friends of mine. Pics to follow!

These 2 short scale Jaguars have replaced the long scales I used to own.
Might get the black one later on....

4 Basses

Gibson 2014 SG Special with Fireburst finish. Short Scale
G&L 1996 SB-2 American with blue bowling ball/marble finish
Schecter 2006 White Ultrabass
Frankensteined Squier P-bass

My main bass is the SG Special. Due to some left hand nerve damage, I have had to switch to short scale basses. So the other three are long scale and up for sale...breaks my heart.
