Yeah I think it might help, Might go for a five string Jake in the future with a 35 scale... Not sure if he does them though. I want an alternative to my Lakland Skyline. However, a five string Speesy in a checkered finish is what I've ordered now. Over the top? Yes. Garish? Possibly. But I asked him about it, he said they could do it so I thought why not. It's something different. Even if it's a backup for my 4 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Well, the quote is in and with a slightly more expensive build and the current value of the British Peso, I have some work to do with Mrs Ez. I could go off the peg and make a couple of compromises, but I really want another bass that feels like it's full of helium, just like my Elwood L fretless.

scrumpymike Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1487257636' post='3238436'] I hope to be joining you in the anticipation stakes. [/quote] Trouble is that, as well as being kind of exciting, it's also kinda painful! Just as an aside, I spotted that Adrian now offers a 'Boston' bass hard-case on his P-P website (rectangular rather than fitted). It's EUR90 plus delivery but when you order one with your new bass (i.e. to replace the standard 'FOC' gig-bag that retails at EUR39) the add-on cost is EUR80 - presumably due to the extra shipping weight. I've gone for that this time - I'd be getting a hard case anyway and this way my new baby gets extra protection in transit from Poland. Just hope that it's not too 'gappy' above the headstock of my s-s Elwood. (My question to Adrian: "Have you got a hard-case to fit my s-s Elwood?" His answer: "I think it fits.") Oh well, I can always use the vacant space for me butties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheth Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Getting rid of some excess instruments this week, I guess another Jake might be in order in the near future. There's one I want to base it off on the website, what's Adrian's stock necks like? Might not have to go for a customish build as this one looks perfect.

Fisheth Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) So, played my Speesy for the first time at a gig last night, it sounded amazing and exactly what I had in mind with this, it's really, really suited to a band mix. Like a P but has a Stringrayish grind to it. Which makes the excitement for my second one even more great, as I put a MM humbucker in it.
