Fisheth Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1447552247' post='2908537'] It should be 8lbs 13, I believe. My baby was just born bang on 4kg a few weeks ago! Haha. They measure metric, but also state imperial, as people still want to know lbs and ounces when weighing babies, and basses too it seems. Anyway, a couple more longish gigs this weekend and my shoulder is painful after recent neck and back problems. It might be time to start thinking about an Elwood L5 little more seriously...

[/quote] Just been and checked the Facebook page and there is a natural finish Elwood L 5 string that went to Barcelona. It weighed 3.55kg and looks stunning. Crikey, that's my 30th birthday gift sorted, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheth Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Really tempted to put a deposit down on another one if there prices are this affordable... 2 tone sunburst Rosewood fingerboard MOP block inlays and two P pickups. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Culture Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I blame you lot! Been reading this thread for a couple of weeks and have today succumbed and put down a deposit on a 32" scale Jake 4p + in a natural finish and no pickguard. Control cavity round the back so it should look something like this: [URL=http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/_MG_6145_zpsbf5qtlv7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o168/Myrtle2014/_MG_6145_zpsbf5qtlv7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Except it's going to have a 38mm nut and 17mm string spacing so have had to go with monorail bridge units.

ben4343 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm having to work very hard to not email Adrian to spec out a fairly straight forward active Jake, with a bridge humbucker in addition to the split coil (it's either this, or a Sandberg VM4, which I think would be quite a lot more expensive.). I've wondered for quite a while now about the differences between PUP brands; as far as I can tell from the website I can choose Maruszczyk own-brand, Delano or Haeussel. My J-bass has Haeussels and they are very smooth, which is not what I want for this (though, that might be more of a function of their single coil-ness). Anybody able to comment on any differences between the Maruszczyk own-brand and the Delanos? Who got what, and why? It's hard to AB them between different youtube videos (and potentially different rigs), but my current feeling is that the Delanos have slightly more wallop...?
