:shock: :o :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock: :o :shock:

To say that I'm not practically doubled over in tears and pain with a GAS attack right now would be a complete lie.

Here's dUg Pinnick playing it...

I emailed Jimmy C and here's what he said:
The lefty bass is a limited edition spalted alder 5 string with 1960 pickup spacing. It also has a "Jimmy" wood fingerboard which is an exclusive hybrid/cross bread of two different species of Brazilian rosewood. The limited editions are more on the high end, this one sells for $5695.00.
:shock: :o :shock: :o :shock:

Even if I didn't go on a ridiculous spending spree over the last few months on a ton of new gear, $5695 is pretty rich for my blood... so, with a heavy heart I'll pass this discovery on to one of you, as long as you promise to leave it to me when you die. :lol:

Ok, back to being sad again...

:cry:

*sigh*

Jimmy's Jazz basses are SMOKIN'. Where was that pic from? A trade show? It wasnt NAMM, Jimmy wasnt there... or was he...? Damn! Would have loved to play that one.

The price is expected. 1 guy build, all hand made. His 4 banger that was at NAMM last year was near 5k too. The red lefty. Very cool but yea.... Pricey.
