Had to ask, can you get a P with jazz neck? The P neck felt good to you because you are used to fivers.

yes...you can get a J neck on a P....and you are correct Gary...

Matching headstocks are nice, add an option of flamed maple necks and dots&binding rosewood boards and I'm in.

do you guys know if he's gonna offer left-handed versions too? I'd really like one if he does.

In the event it has not been touched upon, Dan said he would also be able to accommodate '70s jazz pickup spacing.

interesting....

I just sold my GL, so this is being considered for eventual replacement. Color choice is down to 3 for me.

which 3 colors?

 

[80jazz]

Charcoal Frost, Fiesta Red, or Lake Placid Blue. I would want '70s spacing along with maple fingerboard/black blocks/binding. LPB is where I am leaning at towards this.

Wait...Doug and Greg, were you at Dan's bass location or Al Franken's?? I always thought Dan looked a little like Al Franken. Basses look good. Might have to make a trip down there this summer!

wrong hair......worthy of a trial Bob.

if you make a trip south let us know...I would enjoy dinner

 

[GregC]

what is the neck profile like on the P's? is it fairly chunky or is it wide 'n flat?

Ha! Never thought of that, Bob. You should definitely take a trip down when you get a chance. Also, Lakland's having a GTG in October!

 

[mrpackerguy]

That'd be great fun. I'll try to fit it in. Got a busy summer with gigs and family stuff, but maybe early September!

"One interesting fact Dan mentioned that all basses will be "signature" basses...in other words, they will be named after artists.....he is speaking to several artists about future basses now."

Funny. Dan hasn't called or emailed me yet? I wonder if he got my number wrong? Maybe I should check my SPAM folder??


Nice looking basses! I can't wait to try one out!

Maybe I missed this, but are these basses going to be in any GC/Sam Ash/Etc stores? Or is it an on-line/direct order type of thing?

 

[Holdsg]

I have to think at the volumes he's going to be doing, it will all be direct for a while.

His plan is Direct .......forever....or until he changes his mind
