[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1476712100' post='3156511'] There are rumours that Fender were "involved" in the new shape being introduced. Fender haven't tried it on with Sadowsky or Lull, presumably because the price points are so different. So if it is true, it must be because Sandberg were perceived to be taking market share. [/quote] Considering their P and J shapes changed, I wouldn't be surprised by this.

Gassing for a Jake with a Rosewood board...

Barefaced Retro 210 would be my shout here. But TKS, and Bergs are good cabs from what I've heard. No experience with them however.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1476380450' post='3153855'] I would point out I am no expert in finance - I just found it stressing worrying about it [/quote] I had the money anyway, so I thought rather pay it now and not get stressed. To be honest, it was the best call

Because WoodInBlack had suggested it, I have paid the rest of my Mensinger.

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1476309345' post='3153311'] The van would certainly be handy for bringing a few basses back [/quote] Indeed. Just seen Pierre's sparkly gold bass on the Facebook page. Looks gorgeous.

I'm interested in this en-devour. If I can afford it that is!

You guys seen this yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxj1QwZoZgI Lovely.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1476041067' post='3150769'] I am paying early - the second half of the payment is already £50 more than the first half of the payment was 5 weeks ago, if I leave it the full 15 weeks I doubt I will be able to afford it :/ OK, just paid. It was actually £47 more for the second half payment than the first 5 weeks ago. [/quote] Pretty much my experience right now. Gonna see what the market is like by the end of the week. It can't drop even more can it? [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1476042968' post='3150806'] On the public-peace website they have both Maruszczyk and Mensinger, both Polish is there a connection? Also where are you guys ordering the custom instruments from? [/quote] Same builders, different brands. Ordering from here: [email protected]

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1476029135' post='3150580'] Ha ha.. this is hilarious. "Eeeh... I can't wait. I'm so excited. I was out buying new strings and a stand for it yesterday." "When's yours due? Have you had your 10-week sofa shot yet? Haussels or Delanos? Or are you just happy with whatever you get?" "Jimmy in Norwich's is due any day.. it's a couple of days late, but they reckon that's normal for this time of year. I can't wait to see it!"\ [/quote] Haha!

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1476027018' post='3150544'] When did you confirm ? that's the orders i receive yes lol , 12/15 weeks eventually less if something similar is in production and can be adapted to customers request. I recently found out that Adrian actually doesn't know what custom instruments are finished , until the day he receives it and starts opening boxes. That's what he said for my Gold one. So he probably won't know for your one specifically. The Gold is great and ridiculous value for money as always. I know its been said and so on... but when i see what some people (or fender for that matter) do for 4k + and what he offers for 25% of the price. Makes me wonder ... lol ... but anyways.... been said in the thread i suppose :-) and yes , seeing how the £ is busy falling down.... if you can, i would pay now [/quote] I confirmed on the 12th of August, but payment went in on the 22nd. Aha, interesting. I'll get round to paying him tomorrow after I go to the bank in the afternoon then!

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1476025546' post='3150518'] enjoy the custom when it comes ;-) i'm surely enjoying my gold ***** :-D ! [/quote] Really looking forward to it. You've just reminded me, I was going to ask Adrian if I could pay the rest (The pound falling has me worried) tomorrow and what the waiting time would be, been hearing reports of 12/15 weeks. So was wondering when mine specifically was. How is the gold one anyway? I was thinking about a Gold Jake originally!

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1476024840' post='3150508'] well i suppose you can always ask.....but the company is already at full capacity with waiting time increasing so i wouldn't expect a custom project to go through. but ... you never know :-) [/quote] For sure, it wouldn't be till sometime next year anyway, once I know what's happening with my life! Just I like pointy basses and there's nothing really for me out there, so thought I'd ask none the less though!

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1476024482' post='3150503'] I can only tell you my personal experience. He may have done custom request here and there but he didn't even wonder about it when I had a customer asking a custom shape. Was a big fat "no , no sense" :-) :-D [/quote] Damn, so my plan for a 32" scaled Horn is out then Was wondering if he'd do a bass version of that one or the Navigator (as nobody really does those kind of basses) Still, got a Speesy on the way so that's cool.

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1476023391' post='3150494'] Adrian will not do custom shapes. I had a local customer asking that. He flat out refused. cheers [/quote] Really? Got my catalog out in front of me and I could have sworn there's a guy playing a bass in the shape of a bottle of Jack Daniels?

Beautiful! Would love to own a Sandberg one day.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1475754641' post='3148463'] Get something from Maruszczyk, and do something nice with your change from £1500. [/quote] Came in here about to say this, the options with them are insane. I've got a custom speesy on order and it was far, far less than 1500.

Gorgeous. Just wondered about this, but has anyone put in a full custom from Adrian, so I mean something that is a shape that isn't offered by them. What was the price point on it?

Love the look of these!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1475739680' post='3148284'] Even at the current rate, they're still great value. [/quote] That is true.

[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1475686008' post='3147979'] I ordered in August, shortly after we voted for economic and societal suicide, and given the already rising cost asked if I could pay in full. It left things a little tight at the time, but it's saved me a bit. On the upside, when we're the outcasts we're going to be, they'll be dearer and rarer. [/quote] It's going to be crap. Going to have to stock up now, gah.

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1475215331' post='3144016'] my custom is ready... full disclosure (i've seen people getting stoned for less on here) : i do work with Adrian for his dealer network. This bass however is not for sale and will not be. This is my own personal one. [/quote] Are you Bootsy? Looks awesome!

Week 7 of my build... Not long to go I hope. What's the waiting time for you guys? 12? 15? weeks?

Take your pick: [url="https://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/jake/4-string"]https://www.public-p...k/jake/4-string[/url] Can get a custom for less than a US Fender...

I'm in Town tomorrow after noon, I'll have a look round Cash Converters and stuff.
