Gareth Hughes Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Hey eude - nice one, I'll have to check out the FB page - can't wait to see the video Adrian made. Specs are fairly standard - 24 fret bound neck, rosewood fingerboard. Body is chambered alder. Pickups are Delano's, hardware is Hipshot. Only non-standard-ish thing is the controls are vol-balance-tone instead of vol-vol-tone. Hey ezbass - cool, I'm really looking forward to hearing these pickups in the flesh. I loved the demos of them. Was tempted to get the models that could be coil tapped, but then I knew I'd go mad with options. "A man with a dog has a problem with a dog." Quote
Fisheth Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 So I was meant to get my bass today, but because of French security, who wanted to X-Ray it, it didn't get to Stoke till the cut off time for their deliveries, so I'll get it Monday. Maybe they got suspicious because it looks like a missile? Who knows! Quote

[/quote] Funnily enough, Schenker was my first thought with it (I own a Schenker guitar funnily enough) didn't want to get into legal trouble though Just had a quick play with it. Adrian wasn't lying when he said the B string would be tight enough, it's tight enough for standard tuning that it won't cause any issues. Still not as tight as my Lakland though, but that is a 35 scale bass compared to the 32 of this one! Quote

adamg67 Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 I'm liking what I'm seeing and hearing on here, the pointy bass is something special and that white 6 string is pretty close to what I'd get if I ordered another bass from them (but with flats on it). I've resisted asking how long mine's going to be, I'm not a great waiter (in either sense of the word, no good at taking soup to tables in restaurants either) but I really get the feeling it will be worth it.

What did you order? [/quote] It's a Jake 5a+, 35" scale neck. Blue burst, everything else black including the back of the neck and head, apart from the MOP block inlays which I think just brighten it up a bit (always wanted block inlays). I was original wanting a Stringray 5HH in stealth black, then considering a Sandberg before I saw what I could get with a Maruszczyk. This will be my "rock bass" and should have a good range of quality tones (Delano pups and pre, active or passive). Tuners are ultralights and I'm hoping the monorail and 35" scale will make for a really nice big clean tone as well. Edited July 2, 2017 by adamg67 Quote
Fisheth Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Going for another Jake I think for Uni, I was considering Sandberg... But their shapes look dodgy to me now that they've put in the newer models: Contemplating something like this Or like this... I know, it's less out there than some of my previous basses, that's for sure, currently veering towards the second one, but the cost is basically identical. Edited July 14, 2017 by Fisheth Quote
ezbass Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 White is very classic. How about that with block inlays? Quote

NickD Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 How about no inlays? It's something I've settled on over the years and I can't imagine anything but a clean fretboard now. Quote
