LOL. I sold a 66 Jazz Bass and bought both of those 6 strings and an Aguilar rig from Greg LOL. Ah the good ole days.

Wow that’s hard. I would have to say the SKB Custom 3005 JJ if I had to pick one. That bass was perfect. The RMLE and the fretless 6 would be runners up. Man they all sounded amazing. What’s wrong with me LOL.
She’s still beautiful and a wonderful bass...my main player for a couple years at church but no longer getting much use now as GAS has led me astray.
. Oh my. I took that picture on my desk at work. What a wonderful bass. Let me know if you ever want to sell or er trade her.
Thank you!
I found it on Reverb a year or so ago. I was told that Keith made it for a wood supplier in Washington that didn’t play bass. That gentleman sold it to the guy I bought it from.
Besides the striking flame top, the carving on the top is a bit deeper than my other LG’s and even though it is a 34” scale bass, it is shorter than my other LG 4 string. The neck is set into the body deeper.
Yeah, I should have brought that one back to Warner Robins when Ray sold it but I’m really enjoying the buckeye burl that passed through your hands.
Here is my wonderful bunch o' Roscoes. I love making music with them, and I've gotten to at least perform live and/or record with each. The amber century signature was my gateway.
I never owned that Buckeye Bass. I put deposit down and started and a friend took over and finished it.
I had my eye on that BEM maple topped LG for a while. Always thought that was a sweet looking bass.
Kudos on the great specs. That Mahogany body sustains like crazy.
I know Joe is welling up seeing all of his old basses again!! 
It looks (feels, and sounds) great. I got to play it at CME ~6 months before I finally broke down and bought it. Looked at the pictures pretty much weekly, though!
I did some recording years ago at Rax Trax close to CME. That is a great store, they had all kinds of cool stuff there.
I really believe that a Mahogany body on a bass is the cats meow!! The Koa I bought from Joe had a Mahogany body and it was well liked for its sound. I have an MTD with a Mahogany body and it's one of my favorites. My current build has a Mahogany body and I'm hoping the best from it.
I had a cruise ship audition at Rax Trax back in...2005, I think. I haven't recorded there yet, though...it looks very cool! CME is also very, very fun.
