1979... I'm 17 in this pic, with a Prima J copy (and bangs).

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

A Gibson Custom Shop Acoustic Bass in Super 400 shape, fretless, medium scale and with a passive piezo. Built in 1999 by then Gibson master luthier Phil Jones. Spruce top, EXTREMELY resonant, no sustain block, feedbacks immediately at higher volumes (not good for unplugged sessions with drummers), but sounds like a dream in the studio. A one off model possibly for a NAMM show. A magnetic pup model in L5 shape was also built around that time, but I've never seen pics of it (Phil has confirmed to me though that he built it, but has no clue of the whereabouts).

Thanks! It's incredible!

I wonder how it plays and sounds

Anders/bassballs, welcome to the Outpost! It's great to have you here. Great pics and taste in basses. ;) I hope you enjoy the place. We're always glad to have new bass brothers. You'll find we sometimes even talk about basses...

Beautiful bass! As I saw the faces of the folks in your band, I decided this could be worth checking up. Is that you guys on U-tube?
Must admit I like the style! Yes, sir! Do you do Perfidia?

999 - Love that aluminum upright, that's just simply stunning.
