Mossiebass Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So I've been looking for a new bass to help me through my final year of college, and I've settled on a Maruszczyk Jake. The only problem is I can't decide on the colour! I'm thinking I'll go with either orange or yellow, which looks best? Also, if anyone who has one of these basses has any recommendations for other customisations, let me know!😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Is this going to be a forever bass? If not you may want to consider the re-sale potential - how many people will want to buy an orange or yellow bass? Most popular colours are likely to be red/ black/ white then probably natural - I'm a green freak personally and know that selling green basses in the past has been an issue.

DarkHeart Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yellow all day long for me but with 2 mm style humbuckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's your forever bass both these colours will hurt you when you come to sell. It's not a Dingwall NG2 and won't have the same resale value as one...

[/quote] Would be better if it were a nice sparkley metallic orange. There's a Mike Lull Jazz for sale here at the moment in the colour I'm thinking of.

Rikki_Sixx Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1504127112' post='3362919'] Yellow for me. Not sure about the tort pick guard with either though... [/quote] Exactly what I was thinking too. The yellow would be cool, but if I had either of those colours I'd go for a lighter pickguard. Let us know what specs you go with - and colour!

Marc S Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Yellow for me too. And with that pickup arrangement, and those blocks on the fretboard .... and perhaps with ebony, as others have already mentioned Go for the chambered body option too, if you can. That'll give you a really lightweight bass Let us know what you opt for EDIT: There was a rather nice looking trans purple one in the market place the other day too....

CameronJ Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 With a cream pickguard though, so it looks like a big Solero ice lolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yellow with alder body and keep the rest like this, but take the Haeussel pickups option : they are terrific. It reminds me of my 1971 Fender P-Bass that I had painted in pearl yellow colour : so beautiful and easy to resell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
