[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455549266' post='2980081'] Guys, I am proper stoked for you. You'll have to let me know how long it was from initial order to your door so I know what lead time I'm looking at. [/quote] Mine will be 11 weeks if its here this week. Guess I picked the optimum time, he seems to work in batches.

[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1455358561' post='2978362'] Wow! [/quote] I know, right?!?!?!

hopefully that means mine is too

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455292844' post='2977928'] Sent an email about that, didn't get a response. So will have to tell you when it turns up. [/quote] Looks like it could be mirrored with a cover over it?

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455183243' post='2976681'] It really is! I tried to combine all the things I love about my Steve Harris basses and my Geddy Lee, but without the weight of the Harris, so the neck profile is similar to my MIM Harris whilst it looks a bit like my Geddy with the black blocks. Looks stunning though. [url="http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/Andyscarlettreviews/media/Jake_zpsvhnnw7yy.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] That looks lovely, Whats the scratch plate made of?

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455181048' post='2976648'] That looks phenomenal, I have some idea what I'm likely to see when mine is next to the sofa now As to the reference it's from Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. Disaster Area are the band that had the blackest spacship in the universe. </gkke> [/quote] I can't believe I missed that reference. I loves me some Adams

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455180049' post='2976635'] Phwoar!! I went for the blank board too. I'm tempted to call mine "disaster area". Points if you get the reference. [/quote] Thanks mate. I don't get the reference unfortunately. The fretboard on mine is ebony aswell. It looks so sleek. I said I wanted the blackest Jake possible and I don't think it could have got much blacker!

[quote name='Mattpt85' timestamp='1455141677' post='2976485'] Speechless [/quote] Oooof that flame is lovely!

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455137560' post='2976412'] 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! Exactly the same time Does the thread want pics? [/quote]

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1455123929' post='2976195'] I have a hankering for one of these but I am really put off by the "JAKE" logo on them I know that is shallow but I just cant get my head around it it just seems so crap and tacky it would be OK if your name was Jake I guess I think if it wasn't for that I would seriously be thinking of pulling the trigger on one infact I may email and ask if I can have one without that logo. [/quote] Mines going to just have the M. Sibobs shoreline gold Jake has aswell.

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455116907' post='2976075'] And of course when yours arrives photos are required too!! [/quote] Absolutely. I'll probably post the "sofa shot" on here before I've had a good look at it

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455115471' post='2976052'] black everything 5 string with an ebony fingerboard, 3 Delano pickups on it, a MM/J, a P and a soapbar for the neck. All pickups have individual volumes so totally blendable, 2 band active EQ on a stackable pot. I want it to be stupidly versatile. [/quote] mine is a 4 string jake, black everything with P/Jazzbucker passive. Mine has a reversed head stock. Im excited to see yours!

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455114316' post='2976031'] So anyway I'm now destined for the next few months of checking this thread, checking my mail for updates and howling like a sad dog at the door until my custom Jake arrives. [/quote] What spec have you gone for mate?

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1455110873' post='2975972'] Absolutely... It's great to have viable, competitively priced European alternatives to Fender for traditionally styled workhorse instruments. [/quote] +1

Nope.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1455033459' post='2975233'] Now the, "When, when, when?" thoughts really ramp up. I'm just 5 weeks in and I'm trying to remain calm, but I did start ogling my photo mock up yesterday. Any word? [/quote] Yup! I am chomping at the bit. from what I hear its not uncommon for it to be another 2 or 3 weeks atleast. Mine has a reversed headstock aswell so I'm not sure if that would make it take longer as I can't see that they've made a reversed headstock before.

So 10 weeks after my order was placed is officially tomorrow!!!!

I would try to keep the nanyo aswell if at all possible. I dare say you'll regret getting rid in a few years.

It's ugly AF. I wouldn't touch it with yours lol.

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1454324083' post='2968494'] So I've been listing after the 5 string Musicman Stingray HH stealth black because.. I mean.... Look at it. [url="http://s141.photobucket.com/user/brendon8303/media/Guitars/Music%20Man/16MusicmanStingray5HH_03.jpg.html"]http://s141.photobucket.com/user/brendon8303/media/Guitars/Music%20Man/16MusicmanStingray5HH_03.jpg.html[/url] I was after the HH for the flexibility but I was figuring if I get Adrian to make a "Stealth Black" 5 string Jake with a split coil, tappable humbucker and active/passive switch I could probably cover off the P, traditional Stingray and Jazz bridge sounds.. What do you think? Would it fit the bill? I know there's a lot of love for Maruszczyk basses and the guy seems to be at his prime in a pre-CBS Fender way at the moment, so I'm tempted to get one instead of the Stingray. [/quote] I've got a blacked out Jake on the way. I'll be sure to post pics when it comes

I literally cannot wait for my Jake now.
