wow!!!!, thats one hell of a sandwitch! question ?(the term doom?)  and how old is this beauty, how long have you had it ,and do you have any more? ,,i have #12.

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,

the ORIGINAL bass of doom is indeed jaco's 62 fretless jazz bass.
i took that name, and made my own bass of doom.
doom = awesome!
