Jazzneck Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Go topless young man, only fit a bridge cover. This, admittedly, is a half-way house but it looks good, allows space to play and you can stick your knickers under the bridge cover to mute dem strings when needed. Quote

Matt P Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 i'm a bridge cover only guy, i did fit the pickup cover as well (the holes were already there) but after one short practice session i took it off. i don't really palm mute anymore, i switched to floating thumb instead. Matt Quote

Handwired Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 My 62 Precision should arrive early March and I'm struggling to remain flaccid! Quote

colleya Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Put my deposit down on a 63 jazz a couple of weeks ago. Mark said the lead time was roughly 12 weeks but he hoped it would be a bit less. Quote
dodge_bass Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1419239285' post='2637778'] I think this must be the best looking bass I have ever seen! Wow! just Wow! [/quote] Yarp. It's sitting in my little studio right next to me as we speak! It's lush alright and sounds brill too. Very glad I snaffled it up! [attachment=182509:IMG_1680.jpg] Quote

[attachment=182509:IMG_1680.jpg] [/quote] I'm not often envious - especially as I'm actually satisfied with the basses I have (for the moment anyway) But sitting here reading this thread, and this comment in particular ..... I am now really really envious! Lucky you - it just looks perfect to me One day, I'll order one of these fab basses.... Cheers all - but please stop teasing me with all these pics Quote
theyellowcar Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 [quote name='Hector' timestamp='1422362411' post='2671569'] Well, this is on it's way to me soon. 63P in faded sonic blue, with lightest relic available. Can't wait to get my hands on it! [/quote] Wooooooow Quote
Hector Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Got it yesterday and can't put it down. Lovely classic P bass sound, and feels spot on. Really pleased by how even the tone is all along the neck. Just missed a full day in the studio and evening gig on Monday, but have a gig this Saturday so can road test and see how it sits in the mix (very well I'd expect!). Quote
peety Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I originally had a limelight maybe 18 months ago was a P bass olympic white over sunburst heavy relic foolishly sold it, so have taken the plunge and just placed an order for a medium to heavy relic 63P in burgundy mist with matching headstock and rosewood board, have to say once again Mark has been excellent to deal with lead time 12 weeks now for the worst bit the waiting Quote
Tweedledum Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 12 weeks, hmmm hmmm, that means mine will be ready by e/o march. Ach... Quote
Hector Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 After a couple of rehearsals and gigs, I can safely say that this is a [b]great[/b] bass! Sits prefectly in the mix, and really nails the classic flatwound P sound. An embarrassingly large amount of compliments from people who know what they're talking about. It's a good 'blank canvas' to shift the tone towards a more specific type too - I use an Aguilar Tone Hammer pre, and have some settings I've worked out that give me a very good B15 impersonation. Very happy indeed Quote

It was going to be Oly, then LPB, but now I like the idea of charcoal frost. Gah! Quote
