Got a great deal and couldn't say no, thankfully it's a nice bass. Was on display at NAMM.
I love P/Js. Sorry for the lousy pics.

Congrats! They look awesome. Was this the one that was recently listed on ebay?: http://cgi.ebay.com/Saint-Blues-Left-Ha ... 35ad8457be I've been curious about these basses for a while. Please give us a review. Where are they made? I think they look stunning, but I wasn't all that impressed with the sound/video samples that St. Blues had demoing the bass. Sounded kind of thin and honky (and you can clearly hear bad 60 cycle hum). I'm hoping it's just a bad demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BacM4vu91F4 |

oh yes very pretty and a clear disadvantage once again for lefty's: Q: hi , can you order any more lefty bases? A: Yes you can. But the only color we have is the Honey Sunburst, but we only have a few left.

They had it for $600 on ebay, and even a higher price on their website, offered $500 and they went for it. Been looking at those for awhile. Made in Korea. Sounds good and punchy, J p/u is a bit weak on its own but I never use that setting anyway so no biggie for me. And it has hum with the J soloed but every P/J I own is the same way. Well bulit, tight neck joint, one-piece neck w/skunk stripe, 2-way bridge, flat neck, good tuners, "normal" weight. Rehearsed last night, sounded great. Got a really big show this weekend, that'll be the real test. GREAT gigbag, best I've ever seen. |

My wife loves it too so I got zero flack about yet another bass. |

Cool bass. Looks a hell of a lot better than their guitars, I really don't like their bodyshape! |

Not sure if I love the binding or I hate it. Is the neck P or J width? |

Yeah, I'm no photographer!  Why a different name? I have no idea, maybe I was tired of the old one, having had it so long, was my email for years. |

Lousy pic from the show but it's all I got.  Bass played great, very balanced output string to string, not as much high-end as my other P/Js but not a problem as I usually play with the Tone rolled off anyway. Very solid, I dig it. |

Something else I noticed, the specs say a 2-piece ash body but I can't see any seam, looks to be 1-piece to me. |
