    The downside is that it’s not cheap, at its most basic, it’s a shade over £1400. A few extras (opaque colour, rosewood ‘board, better hardware, etc) and you’re getting up to £1800-£2000. Not bad for a custom instrument, but it would be good to have an off the peg option available.

    It should be noted that the pickup position on the SS Jake is proportionally more towards the neck than in the normal P position. IIRC it’s more in the standard, Mustang position.

    P bass with T’Bird pickups?

    Recognising the background, I just checked The Gallery website, it’s a 34” scale.

    That looks like just one piece of ash and, if I’m not mistaken, a DiMarzio pickup. - nice.

    This ^^^^ ; never a bad thing.

    Metal or plastic case? It looks like metal in the various images online, but that may not be the case (pun unintended).

    Bassists in the audience will be intrigued. If it is the 32” version, you’d have slightly less harmonic overtones, which certainly makes some effects behave better. I see it has the classic, Jaguar upper switching, I assume that this adds more tonal variation.

    I can’t help thinking that a Lionel is probably the bass for me these days.

    Ooh, interesting. A review of this with regard to build and tone would be interesting.

    I like a 0.1 cap. It's what was on my old '63P and I've fitted that value to my 2 custom basses. That said, I think the cap in my JMJ Mustang is 0.05 and that does a perfectly fine job.

    Good point.

    IIRC there is a push/push switch on the volume control, on the SS ‘Ray, that engages a volume cut cap, it could be that there is something amiss with this.

    Fight for Your Right - Beastie Boys Great track from the fantastic album, Gold Plated.

    Plenty of 34” scale 5 strings out there (‘Ray5 for example) so a 34”, 4 string, tuned BEAD, shouldn’t be an issue. Avoiding smaller tuner capstans will remove any need for alterations there (Fender/MM/etc type). However, widening of the fret slots will probably be required, as all 4 slots will be taking a thicker string than intended, unless you go for a gauge that is light enough to negate this small modification.
