Without the sanding block between the PUs it would look killer!

OOOH! Jazz pickups, bright blue body and a Maple fretboard with white blocks.

That is my favorite combination. I just melt every time I see it. I am glad this isn't a 4-string or I might have a tough decision to make.

@ sly

I'll answer the maple board question (Chris had the rosewood I believe). I had Chris Chew's other red JoBo5 and had it refinishes black by Pat Wilkins. Another board member here owns it now.

These are great basses but the scale being 35" might be a little big for some. Just my 2 cents. Great basses tho and only a handful made left handed.

Hey thanks Grave for that.

I did buy Addison's JO5 and sold it even if I liked it a lot but for the work I was doing at the time it wasn't practical for me as much as I thought.
I like the fact it is a 35" scale though.
I'm coming back slowly at playing again after the stroke so may be a little treat would be nice ;-)
