wateroftyne Posted Sunday at 09:53 Posted Sunday at 09:53 Hey gang! I'm a P guy, but one of my bands needs a J really, so I've been on the lookout for something for a while. Was hoping for something LPB or Charcoal Frost, but this popped up, and I couldn't resist. It's a Custom Shop Journeyman relic, so think closet classic with slightly less shine and the occasional ding. I know relics are polarising, but I think they nailed it with this one - it glows. Medium-weight alder body (guessing 9lbs or thereabouts), quartersawn neck, slab board.. and stacked knobs which will take a little getting used to in the heat of the moment. Haven't gigged it yet, but it sounds gorgeous so far. Really rich and resonant. Roll on next weekend! ]] 26 Quote

gary mac Posted yesterday at 08:35 Posted yesterday at 08:35 Lovely. I usually really dislike ageing/relicing but that looks great, the best example that I've seen. Quote

snorkie635 Posted yesterday at 08:57 Posted yesterday at 08:57 A very fine bass indeed and I bet that neck just glides like Torvill and Dean? Enjoy for a very, very long time. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Quote
LiverpoolBassPlayer Posted yesterday at 11:48 Posted yesterday at 11:48 Stunning Jazz, that. I'm on the 'not keen on relics' side of the fence but this looks great!! Quote
