Colin asked me to share these photos with the Club:

Plus, I found these pictures that I should have posted while I was moving in January:

The Ebony accent laminate is a nice touch!

Collin, welcome to the Triple O club....when you get a chance, give us a close-up of those custom knobs and that unique truss rod cover. Was that brass done at Alembic? Nice touch....
Best of luck with her; play in good health...

This looks like the bass that turned up at the bass centre in the UK a short while ago. I was intrigued by the upside down lefthanded stringing although the bass player with hayseed dixie has the same. At the time I saw it, it was heading off for a special engaving, presumably the truss rod cover. Fantastic bass collin I'll send my left handed daughter down to steal it ;-)

Welcome to the club colin, it is indeed fantastic. The more you visit, the more you'll learn; about beer, barbeques, stockings, even the occasional discussion on guitars and basses ;-)
Enjoy playing the JPJ and don't forget to post gig pictures.

Hello from Florida Colin. That is an amazing bass. I can't make out the Zepplin logo that you mentioned. Do you have a close up of it? Enjoy and Congratulations.

Those are some really, really nice inlays. Did you do them yourself, or did someone else do them?

I'm sure Colin is the guy who tapped me on the shoulder for a chat at a gig in Manchester a few of years back. He recognised me from this forum. I think it was either a Scott Henderson or a Tribal Tech gig.
Nice guy and we had a good nerdy chat about alembics and other bassy stuff.
