They have a string of beautiful Alembics in stock: Like this Jimmy J Signature: http://www.sleekelite.com/stock/instock/alembic/760LB52WBH/DSCN0068.JPG http://www.sleekelite.com/stock/instock/alembic/761JJLB5WBH/DSCN0097.JPG http://www.sleekelite.com/ jimmyj Intermediate Member Username: jimmyj Post Number: 143 Registered: 8-2008 Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 11:22 pm:    Hajime is a really nice guy and I believe he's currently the Alembic rep in Japan. I happened to see that series bass at the factory and almost choked! Next time I'm over there he better let me play it!

That's MY version of the bass. It looks like Hajime has an additional switch near the 1/4" jack. Does that mean I have to get that?

Now, I'm wondering why Alembic hasn't *yet* added a JimmyJ Signature! I never noticed the 3-on-the-bottom peghead before.

But, IIRC, I remember seeing somewhere a serial # prefix which would designate a bass as being a JimmyJ model. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 641 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - 10:09 pm:    The subtitle for the "Signature Models" page in Showcase lists "JJ" as a qualifying model designation, and there are threads on at least 3 of them there.
