So we have got to the point of giving money out. Did someone say there was a cheaper way than just sending it through a bank?

Shame the build time is 15 weeks - I have enough difficulty waiting for a shipment from thomman!

Transferwise!

I played Transferwise off against FC Exchange when putting the deposit down on a Spanish property.
FC Exchange won.

Thanks wateroftyne - one of those pictures that's worth 1000 words!

You're welcome. The box is strong, and for purpose... worry not :-)

[/quote]I heartily concur.

[scrumpymike]

OK, I've just ordered the box. The good news is it comes with a bass inside it

So unfair, its 15 weeks on mine

Been 3 days now.. still not here... Going to be a long 15 weeks!

[shemeckfrac]

After a long period of GAS for a Jake, I finally got my hands on this. Great built quality, light, easy to play and most importantly the huge, warm sound.

[Fisheth]

Lovely!

[Woodinblack]

So I suppose you don't really get much progress while you are waiting do you? I am really not good at this waiting thing!

I feel you,a few weeks into my Mensinger build and having no updates is hard.
However, it builds the anticipation whilst waiting for that email.

[Sumbabba]

OK you've all pretty much convinced me to get one! I think I'm going to go for a medium scale (which I never realised was an option before) but I'm slightly concerned that a shorter scale might affect the tone of the instrument. Is this something I should be worrying about or should I just shut up and get on with it?

[/quote]I've got a medium scale Jake, to my ears, it makes no noticeable difference, it plays great and is so much easier to get around the fretboard with my slightly artritic fingers which restricts my stretch a bit, and being just under 7.5lb, it also agrees with my back and neck problems.

Interesting to see what appears to be a 'relic'd' finished Maruszczyk on the Facebook page today... It would appear they're really trying to put Fender to the sword!
