    Wow, that is REALLY nice looking. The grain on both the neck and the body are outstanding. I've never heard of that brand. Of course, there's plenty I don't know...

    thanks Rob, ya as soon as I get some playing time in this week-end I'll give a full report.

    and thanks Thunder, the wood on this is just stunning aesthetically and tonally. As for the "brand" , it was built by Laurence Mollerup here in Vancouver. Laurence was my teacher @ college and is an outstanding player/teacher/luthier, all around bass guru if you will :smug:

    Aero p/ups yep!

    as to cost... not sure if LM would do another "J" type but probably start around $1970 for a basic model would be my guess.


    been gigging it lately and man oh man! something about passive single coils. still much big love for my Cirrus 6 TigerEye but it's a completely different animal, they definitely compliment each other quite well.

    looks great and love the inlays..

    is it me or is the neck plate cock eyed a bit?

    I think the neck pocket is cut at a bit of an angle so it looks like the plate is crooked.
