We haven't heard from Jimmy in a while, so I'll answer based on conversations I've had with him.
 
The original Bass of Doom was Jaco's old Fender.  Also, Jimmy had a habit of using doom to refer to things that are awesome.  This bass is newer than mine (June 2000 for mine).  Jimmy and I talked on the phone about my bass as he was deciding what he wanted on this one.  It's probably a 2001.  It was his 2nd Alembic at that time.
 
Peace,
 
James

Hi Jimmy, man is that a beautiful piece. The back is as gorgeous as the front. You are generous indeed to put out such a kind offer. If I lived closer I'd come by just to look at her. Nevermind trying her, I'd like to marry her! How large a dowery would she require? Hope she is affectionate, as I couldn't keep my hands off her. Very nice!
