Title: Graphite 5 strings
Post by: room037 on August 19, 2004, 12:10:34 AM

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 am interested his graphite neck bass.
