And much less of a wait than some boutique custom builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my Elwood L this week and it was a real wrench but I'm happy that it's incoming replacement will be every bit as good as my old one.

He upped the RRP to £1700 from around £1300 too, to justify the hike. I imagine it'll be there a while. Nice bass 'though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Indeed - by the time it arrives it would have been heading towards 20 weeks. Still, not long to wait now before it is in my grubby mitts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so that I thought a Jake 5 would be useful for backup and thumpier stuff... can't remember the last time the Elwood left the house now, must be over a year... that bloody Jake is an addiction.

I'm at 15 and a half weeks now and not heard a peep so hoping it won't be too much longer. My last one only took 7 weeks so clearly their business is growing nicely. Hi , i started working with Adrian about 2 years ago and the lead time for a custom bass was around 8/10 weeks (roughly). Its now up to 16/20 I guess (if you keep in mind those are made to order only , so delays can happen i suppose. That's just the way it goes....). And prices have gone up to kinda control demand (even if Adrian is not about money, he told me he would never build a 5k JB). Factory has recently expanded to be able to use all machines at all times (in previous place while X was using machin Z, Y couldn't use machine B) and keep up with orders. 1st time i went to Public peace (about 2 years ago too i suppose) it was literally FILLED UP with basses. My DREAM place to be ....probably about 500... not sure. Well its now getting emptier and emptier. Every time we go there's less ... (im about 90 minutes away i guess) ... starting from 4 instruments in 2005.... proof with patience ... anything can be done. 4 instruments , 3 luthiers , a Factory about to go under... 13/15 years later there's around 450 custom bass per year (600 total , around that) and about 14 luthiers full time... Amazing success story and i got so much respect for the boss for that.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 5 or 6 Elwoods specced oh my phone, just trying to decide which way to go with it now. A classic (eg white/tort) or a bit different (that would be telling!). Once I’ve played some at the London Bass Show next week I’ll be closer to a decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
