Hi,
I posted my Graphite 5 strings "83' 2814" at Show Case > Series 1 .
Please look and write about it.

We have often seen 4 strings Graphite neck.
But I have seen 5 strings only mine and Jimmy Johnson's bass.
How many built the 5 strings bass with Graphite neck ?
Does anybody have such bass ?

We didn't ever keep records in a format to tell how many 5-stirng graphite necked basses we've made. My mom estimates that it's about 12.

Hi Mica,
Thank you for your info.
It is quite rare, isn't it ?

I want to see the photo of Jimmy Johnson's bass.
I have only the video of A. Holdsworth's 1984 Japan tour, the title is "TOKYO DREAM"
Mr. J. Johnson played his graphite 5 strings in this tour.

There are a couple pictures of Jimmy Johnson's bass here, along with a post from Susan about his basses:

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your info.
Yes, I saw the photo.
I think, it is his latest bass with wood neck.
I am interested his graphite neck bass.
