    I love that colour / wood combo but this bass doesn't pull it off unfortunately, IMO of course.

    hmmmm...the guy waits 10 months to get this bass and then plays it twice in nearly 4 years???

    and he refers to the the push-pull pot for bypass as a "special feature"?

    i am sure that the photos don't do the bass justice...that purple is way cool...not my style, for sure...but still very nice indeed.

    I'd hit it. I have a feeling the right light would make that purple look cool. You could also "tame it" with a white pearl pickguard. I'm a sucker for matching headstocks!

    Seeing that bass makes me think maybe i should have gotten a matching headstock on my Greenburst 5.

    HI

    Dont think so. Actually, I love it but I have 3 other jj's and a jj 5 string. Would be all over it if it had a pj setup. Someone is gonna get an awesome bass. Love the fretboard

    Did he really list "There are no finger prints on the hardware" as a selling point?! :meh: :scowl:

    I have major Sadowsky GAS right now but personally, I'd have to pass on that one - unless I got a gig in prince's band.

    I think it's awesome looking, but comming from a person who plays a sparkley blue bass I don't think I have much credibility.
