Just got a picture of my newly completed Jake! I'm gonna pay the balance on Friday, because I need to wait for money to transfer, but she's a beauty! Does the thread want pics?

I need to stop checking my emails every couple of minutes! And reading this thread too

[quote name='Mattpt85' timestamp='1454073552' post='2966114'] I think we ordered at a similar time (End of Oct for me) bet they're coming on the same shipment next week! [/quote] Yeah, playing a mini festival next weekend, so I wanted something for that, haha!

Still no word on mine yet, last I asked was it was getting painted and then a setup... Hm, still waiting! I'm an impatient sod, me!

There's a custom 32" Elwood up on the Facebook page. Did anyone in here order it? Looks lovely.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1452197353' post='2947575'] You are close enough to check it out [/quote] I might, if I can sell some stuff. Got a custom Jake coming soon, heard back from Adrian today, it's getting painted this week and set up next week, here's hoping I can get it shipped before NAMM, if not it'll be the last week of January, early February it looks like before I get it.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1452110586' post='2946599'] I am. I'm not trying too hard at the moment, mind :-) [/quote] Believe me, I am tempted to buy it!

Gonna be sending Adrian a FB message in the brief short time. Also WOT are you still selling your white Jake?

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1451812665' post='2943524'] Does this help? [/quote] Oh sweet, so it's not like the Fender's that have their electronics under the guard. Meh, if I don't like it I can always remove it and go for the Jaco esque thing.

Just was curious about this, is there any Jakes that have been photographed without the pickguard?

Ahh! Thought one of you guys would know. My bad!

Gorgeous! I've got R********R gas now...

If the CV is like my VM basses. They're amazing instruments, finding one second hand is tough to do.

I don't, maybe Cocco or Ezbass will know. They seem to have sent emails regarding Elwoods lately!

So we're doing Trillians in Newcastle on the 14th of January, if any BC'rs are in the North East area Edit: Could a mod change the title so that Newcastle and the date are in there? I thought I'd put it in but clearly not!

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1451147152' post='2938559'] I will be there, i know where the place is now cos i work round the corner! would anyone actually be interested in having a play of my `Funder Jeff Bass` (jazz on a budget) that i knocked together a few years back? if so i`ll bring it. [/quote] For sure!

So I'm sitting here trying to Intonate my Mexican Harris and the strings aren't staying perfectly in tune once intonated, is this a sign that I need new strings on it? (This is my first attempt at doing this, I often left it to a shop to do, but I wanted to learn over the new year) Or is there something else that it could be?

Oooh, so it's that one! Lovely. Happy new year thread!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1451563670' post='2941536'] OK, deposit paid; the wait begins. [/quote] What are you going for?

[quote name='howdenspur' timestamp='1451481745' post='2940822'] Gear4music are doing the Yamaha Bb425 in black for £249 in their sale. Quite tempted myself... [/quote] I'm really tempted.

Parcelforce from Thomann, Never had a problem with them myself.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1451410206' post='2940279'] Seems that way, I received a reply this afternoon to the email I sent this morning. [/quote] Hm weird, I'll leave it until after new year and try from another Email address, sending an email to one that I know works was fine, so maybe it's on his end. Still can't wait to get mine though. Sent him a message on the FB page, I got a reply within seconds. Really fantastic stuff, can't wait for the build to finish now.

So is everyone else getting emails back from Adrian? Edit: I'm an impatient sod, I'll go and play a bass now!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1451372194' post='2939879'] Time off I imagine, with it being Christmas and that. [/quote] Yeah could imagine so, I'll give it a bit of time and see!

Sent him an email to see if I could get it shipped out with Flats and if there was a potential date yet. Still no reply back, admittedly it is new year, but as I got no reply with my other emails I'm guessing either my email is suspect or he's taken some time off. See what happens.
