It will be cost neutral if I sell my Jazz and one of my electric guitars (neither of which I play)... or maybe I'll add a few more bells and whistles and pay a bit extra. The configurator is the no-brainer for me... hours of endless fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An exceptionally trim 3.6kg - 8lbs - for a 5 string Precision!! Neck dimensions I spec'd are perfect. Delano pup has the extra bite over the Aguilar that I hoped for. Figured maple neck/fingerboard and headstock are to die for. My expectations were very high but this has just blown me away - how is it possible to make such a good bass for £1600? Actually, £1500 - £100 was for the SKB case. And Adrian chucked a gorgeous leather strap in the case, too. I am now going to be mega impatient to use it at rehearsals and gigs. Swoon. I'll take some nice pics when the weather cheers up. I can relate to that feeling - been there twice and got 2 straps to prove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sunny day so out came the camera. I never learn - in the event an overcast day would have shown it better. hey ho. Ladies and gents, meet my new Jake 5! 3.6kg of 5 string Precision goodness. I ordered BBM to sort of make it a 5 string brother to one of my Squier JV Ps, which is BBM and has some figuring in the neck. So I opted for figured maple all round - yum! - with graphite rods, 45mm at the nut, zero fret. Chambered basswood body, Hipshot hardware, 17mm spacing at the bridge. Passive electronics. Delano PC5 AL/M2 pickup - which has turned out exactly how I wanted with more bite and growl than the Aguilar I had fitted into my MM Sterling 5. I like it so much, in fact, that I have bought one from Adrian to stick into the Sterling to replace the AG-5P 60. For me this was a big deal. I don't spend a lot of money on basses (although I manage to lose a lot - how does that happen?) and after a slightly gone wrong experience importing a Yamaha BB5000 that cost me dearly was a bit wary. But I couldn't be happier with this one. If I were given the opportunity to order another one i would spec it out exactly the same. So probably not worth doing... Anyway, £1500 for the bass, £100 for an SKB hard case (which retails at £130!). Big grin on my face every time I pick it up. Or just look at it, frankly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
