[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1466169541' post='3073840'] This happened to me at the Epsom branch and my wallet was the sorrier for it, [URL=http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/513d22b9-b781-4121-8e31-0bd18dc8c43e_zpsqhjmsedo.jpg.html][IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/513d22b9-b781-4121-8e31-0bd18dc8c43e_zpsqhjmsedo.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote] I adore the S version. If I was going to buy a Ric it would be an S. or a 4004

That my friend is an SB 2 elite. You weren't far off with the SB900 guess. It's pretty much the same bass but with a different neck profile. The 900 has the super skinny, parallel profile with tight spacing at the bridge. This has wider spacing and less of a parallel profile Edit the inlays are also different on the normal SB range. Also the controls don't look right to me. If memory serves the top knob is a 3 way pickup selector, the other 2 knobs on mine were stacked volume and tone. Yours don't appear to be stacked though?

Go back to passive. A bass like that should be passive/as original as possible anyway.

If you had to describe what his own pickups sounded like what would you go for? I'm having a hard time finding samples in the context ( older style Metal and general use) that I'd use it for. Adrian has just told me his own brand of pickups aren't doing a Humbucker right now, just letting you guys know [/quote] They're high output and pretty gritty. They do the rise against kind of sound really easily.

Yeah, V/V/T+ push/pull single coil, I went for Adrian's own pickups which is one of my better life choices:)

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1464550307' post='3060281'] Hey guys, been off site for ages. So I've got thirty odd pages of this thread to go through. Looking forward to seeing what sort of basses you guys have got from Adrian! I'm planning another one from him, as I've been saving for about seven odd months. My band folded and now the money I have that was going to recording is now going to another bass. I'm wanting another Jake for sure, with a MM/Split P combination and a Sea Foam green colour scheme. However I can't find many basses with a reversed headstock that's a P style. Didn't someone in here get one of those from Adrian? (Seabasskid?) What did it look like and how much was it added onto the price? Looking at going no pick guard for this one too. Bit of a departure from my usual solid colour/chrome guard but I wanted a change. [/quote] Hey buddy, it was me that got the reverse headstock Jake. I added it about 3 weeks into the build, luckily it wasn't a problem. It didn't add anything to the price though. I think the only part that knocked the price up slightly was the ebony board. Here's the pic [URL=http://s1106.photobucket.com/user/ashrome/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_8730.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h373/ashrome/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_8730.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Without sounding like a knob have you tried simply playing it more? I had a similar problem with my old grabber bass, it was made worse by the slightly different scale length to my other bass which at the time was a fender jazz. I didn't really want to modify it either. I found that by grinning and baring it for a while I got used to it. My muscle memory improved and after a couple of gigs on dark stages and a few extra hours of practice with it the problem faded.

This is lovely. so jealous of your collection .

That looks loads better than their stock photo. I still think Pelham blue would have been better.

Gawjus!

Mine was within a week, paid Friday arrived Wednesday

If only I could justify it. I've fancied the squier bass VI since they came out.

So much yes! Congrats mate.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1460758719' post='3028635'] Very nice! What's custom about the build? Compared to their stock 'Human Nature' builds. Si [/quote] Love this. The black hardware really sets it off.

These are great basses! I nearly bought a mystic once, but something put me off last minute. I love the look of them. They remind me of the S.D. Curlee basses from back in the day

Mint for me

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1460616889' post='3027212'] Black for me [/quote] I think black too. It looks nice against the finger board. If it was maple the pearl one would look lovely,
