Ander87 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I just got this stupid light Jake 4P at 3.2kg in a trade. my first time playing a Mariszczyk, it’s so very nicely done…! Sounds great and comes with labella flats, jazz necked too. Sadly, I’ve filled my Precision allocation and will pop it in for sale - I gotta say I’m very impressed with these basses! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one just like that, I often wonder whether I should’ve kept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basexperience Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Hey people! New joiner to the club - after I got this absolute stunner last month. BTW heads up to @Quent - a gent! Love this bass. The look is amazing. It's weighty, and I like that. Hardware seems pretty good - the tuners are a little stiff, I'm guessing they could use a little lubrication. One question though - anyone on here play a 5-string Marus with low action and .135s? I'm having some trouble getting an action I like with a straight neck (straight neck is easy, but I'm getting a lot of buzz unless I crank the action way up). I like a really low action, normally play pretty gently but love to dig in sometimes and the "choke" of the dig is part of it - I've got a couple of other 5s set up this way. I'm stringing everything with the same 135 gauge D'addario XL nickels. Wondered if anyone else likes the same. Ta in advance!

I play an Elwood 5a with La Bellas with a 135 B string. Action is Rizla low with no buzz anywhere so, you should have no problem achieving what you need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think you must have one where the guy doing the fret job did a better job than mine - it has very specific issues. I'm on 135s so it's not like they're floppy strings either - I guess I'm just going to have to take it to maybe the bass cellar in London and get them to work on the board to level the frets out.

Lovely! Is that the medium scale that was advertised recently? I was really proud of myself for resisting the temptation but it hurt! Brilliant spec and looks fantastic! Enjoy!

It's got a very playable neck 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that must be the same neck as I have on my Elwood medium scale. One of the most comfortable necks I have ever played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrumpymike Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Can anybody tell me anything about what I'm likely to get from a Jake C4P 30" in terms of playability and sounds, especially what the Haussel PB4 pickup brings to the party? It's really the classic vibe that I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Just realised I never posted my two new Ooshyks on this thread! Meet Scarlett and Skye - a pair of Frog 6S 6-strings, fretted and fretless: The spec is basically the same for both: 6-string Ash body, quilted ash tops with colour in the grain Roasted maple necks with ebony fingerboards and graphite rods, bolt-on 17.5mm string spacing Luminlay blocks on Skye (the fretted one), edge lines (on Scarlett, the fretless), Luminlay side dots on both Hipshot Ultralite tuners, monorail bridges, Schaller straplocks, coloured knobs for volume and pan (I have the coloured knobs for the other pots, but Noll use a non-standard size for their concentric pots and they don't fit!) Delano Xtender pickups with series/parallel/single coil switches Noll custom 18V 4-band EQ (frequencies adjusted to match the 4-band EQ on a Musicman Bongo) Absolutely loving them so far. One thing I've noticed - if anyone else has the Noll electronics, do you notice the output at the jack being a bit quieter than you might expect? The pickups and circuit are extremely hot, but the output is pretty low, considering... Edited January 16 by Russ 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviedee Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Pretty sure this Custom Elwood 5a active 5 string has been owned by a one or two basschatters! Very lightweight and sounds great! -Alder body -Maple neck and fretboard (nice grain on the fretboard!), matte finish, carbon rods for reinforcement, nut width 45mm, radius 14”, 34” scale. -Charcoal Frost Metallic finish (lovely dark grey with a dark blue hue to it) -Aguilar AG5J-HC hum cancelling pickups -Delano Sonar 2 active preamp, with a push-pull volume to switch to full passive, with the treble knob acting as a tone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! I've had a gear overhaul over the last year, including migrating to medium scale. An active Shuker PM should be finished imminently to complete the trio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
