[quote name='dodge_bass' timestamp='1450208346' post='2930589'] And here's mine...just received in the post yesterday! mmm mmm. Looking forward to gigging it (thats the real test!). [attachment=207393:IMG_1261 copy.jpg] [/quote] Dayum! Love the matched headstock. All the awesome bursts are making me wonder about mine being black. It seems a shame to hide the gorgeous grain they all have.

Has anyone got the preamp in the Jake?

I reckon mine will turn up with a black one.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1450135972' post='2930013'] So mine arrived today in case that wasn't obvious . I can post a photo tomorrow, however the picture above from Adrian can't really be beaten! After an evening with it at home, my instant thoughts are: - It's light! (7.3lbs) due to the chambered body (costed extra) - Beautiful finish, the shoreline gold (costed extra) is lovely, and the matching headstock really sets it off. - quality bridge, nice and solid. - Hipshot USA tuners (costed extra). - It's light. - the neck was slightly more shallow than I anticipated, which is perfect actually. Really fast and smooth neck. - frets slightly smaller than anticipated, really nice feel. - the above two points are largely born from my '71 Precision being my benchmark, which is a bit of a chunk. - really lovely & dark rosewood fingerboard! - the Haussel pickups sound great through my Markbass practice amp, but the real test is gigs this weekend, I'm confident! - did I mention it's light?! - the 'retro' strap that came with it is stunning, hugely happy with that! - nice gigbag too, simple but effective. Overall I'm incredibly happy, a 33" Precision bass is ultimately what I wanted, and I have that and more . Can't wait to gig it! Si [/quote] Sounds amazing, can't wait for mine to turn up now.

SRs are incredibly well playing basses. My SR605 is amazing for long practices and gigs. I do sometimes wish it was a 4 string though.

I'd love to see this in the flesh. Glorious looking bass!

[quote name='Clint' timestamp='1444252589' post='2881685'] My Gibsons. The ES335 is totally amazing and the Les Paul is a real tone monster that is massivley underated and has a powerful output for just about any style. think they stopped making the ES335 after a year as Gibson tend to do. Hopefully they'll reissue the Les Paul Signatures soon! [/quote] I'd love a go on a Les Paul bass, they have a charm to them!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1449775205' post='2926772'] Hopefully never - barely anyone would be able to spell it. [/quote] I've got no idea how to say it. Maroochick? I should have figured that out before I ordered one

When are we changing the forum name to maruszczykchat?

I've ammended my order. It's now going to have a reverse headstock

I'd love for my Maruszczyk to turn up early. Can't see it happening though. February seems a long way off right now.

I'll have an addition in Feb watch this space

I've got GAS for a les Paul bass at the moment. Never played one though.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1449437453' post='2923587'] Just going to leave this here........ [IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/19r2gm.jpg[/IMG] BIT excited!! Si [/quote] Mate that is amazing!

Rickenbackers are Marmite basses. Play one and see what you think. I'd probably go for an S over the standard one. I much prefer the dot inlays and the body chamfer.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1449332969' post='2922705'] Hey hey hey It's the kind of weather that makes you want to stay in the house and make a video Caveats: The strings are fresh-out-of-the-packet flats, so they're zingy as hell (yeuch!), the whole thing was done in a hurry, and I still don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to recording and mixing my own bass. Apart form that.. errr.. it's OK. I'll do a video with rounds when I get a chance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFM3h7JaPvk [/quote] Awesome playing and a great sounding bass. I'm so impatient to get mine

So this isn't happening anymore, turns out someone else bought it earlier in the day. I have pulled the trigger on a black as you like maruszcyzk though

Trigger also pulled! I've ordered a passive Jake with the Jazzbucker in the bridge, their own pickups. Black body, black single ply pickguard, black hardware, matched headstock, ebony board with no front markers and deleted the model decal off the headstock, so it just has the round logo. I'm hoping to get a none more black, fire breathing rock machine out of it

I'm working out the details on one too 10 week lead time at the moment isn't too bad.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1448951889' post='2919449'] Very hot..! [/quote] Good times, I'm thinking about ordering the redburst with black hardware one, or the same thing but all black

I love the look of these. What's the output of them like? Are they fairly hot?
