  1. That is such a nice bass! Maruszczyk are doing something right! Just a quick one because I can't seem to find the answer anywhere; are the dimensions of the Maruszczyk jake the same dimensions as a standard p bass? I am hoping to get one but a standard precision is slightly big for my size and I have a condition that limits movement in my left hand. My other bass is Fender jazz American special. The body is fine and the neck is superb on that for example.
  2. I have had my rumble combo for about a month now and I honestly think it is a great amp. 350 @ 8ohms does make a big impression (the slight boost with vintage control on is a real bonus and to my ear gives a slightly richer bass tone). Played in a medium venue (150 seats) and it was on about 9 o'clock on the gain and master and it really needed no more.
  3. Been looking at American Specials new and old, this is a stupidly good price! How is it still here?!!
  4. Thanks a lot for the help people. The condition makes phases of symptoms rather sporadic and hard pin down to one specific thing. I have neurological tests and they all came back inconclusive (they took my blood 39 times!) and so they said it would be hard to properly know what to do. I will definitely look into the short-scale stuff and the string gauge is a quick fix thing. I didn't even think about the action to be honest and it is rather high at the moment so that is another thing. To the physio's it is! Cheers
  5. Hi guys, I have been playing for about 7 years now but have hit 'the wall' in a way. I have a neurological condition which affects mainly the left side of my body both tone and strength wise. Despite this, I would still say I can play bass to an okay level (gospel, rock, blues etc.). The problem here is that I have began to develop a dull, aching stiffness in my left wrist. This means that I can play the songs normally up until about 30 seconds continuous (especially on the high strings) and then this stiffness comes. I do have small-ish hands and my fingers don't naturally stretch that much but it has never been a problem before. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to combat such a thing and delay, if not stop such a pain. This is even more important as I am meant to be buying a new bass (american special) very soon and this issue is downright discouraging me! Other points: I use a long-scale Ibanez GSR with 45's. I have seen posts about people using a short-scale for similar problems but I have no clue in a first hand way. Thanks
