6feet7 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) After having finally admitting I quite liked Fender basses, I very quickly realised that I did but I didn't really, so did a big change and bought PTB's Maruszczyk Jake 5P P/J bass. Partly because I think it looks gorgeous, but also it only weighs 3.5 kg (which is wonderful for a 5 stringer). I also decided to exchange my three remaining basses for a German made Warwick Star Bass II 5 Bubinga (I did momentarily put it up for sale on here straight after I got it because I thought it was too good for me. It is, but it's also so wonderful I quickly withdrew the sale). My logic behind this is that as I'm in two bands (a function electric band and a double bass/acoustic instrumental style band) and I didn't want loads of basses upsetting Mrs 6feet7, I though one bass could act as the backup to both the electric Maruszczyk and my double bass. At the same time, rather than have 2 different sets of amps, I've got rid of my Phil Jones Briefcase and my Markbass setup and got a Phil Jones Suitcase Compact BG-400 with a Phil Jones Compact 8 Cab that covers both bands (I've kept a Markbass LM II head as a backup, just in case). To say I'm excited to do my first gigs with this setup is an understatement. Anyway, I thought I'd share Edited July 1, 2019 by 6feet7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
