TheGreek Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) In the past I've not been averse to supporting builders/ traders on this forum. I've got 3 basses built or worked on basses from @Andyjr1515, bought two lightty up things from @bertbass amongst others. This time I've been lucky enough to acquire a beautiful (aesthetically and performing) blue 5er from our own @Lukasz Chyla which he had advertised on ebay. Being familiar with his work from here I was able to contact Lukasz and we negotiated a deal that we were both happy with. I maintain that I am the happier of the two and I think you will see why from the photos (or in person at the forthcoming SE Bash). Fit and finish is as good as anything you'll get from a high production manufacturer and it feels top quality in your hands. No hint of neck dive, super smooth neck, excellent set up and action. Some under-rate the Wilkinson pickups - I have no problem with them - I think that they represent great vfm and I challenge anybody else to pick them out as budget pickups in the mix. As I said, this will be attending the SE Bash along with the @Jabba_the_gut short scale - both will be available to try so attendees can get an idea of the quality of products being built in this community.

TheGreek Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 I forgot to mention that Lukasz has several others available on ebay currently. I have no hesitation in recommending his creations. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166353012951?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2ktZllUoQpO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166355547362?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2ktZllUoQpO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374900172374?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lrPkWbz4QEW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Get 'em while you can!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I saw one of Lukasz' creations on eBay just last week, a lefty in matte black with an MM pickup. The design isn't for me (strong Ritter vibes, but less elegant), but they do look well-made and well-designed. Enjoy!

Thump Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I don't usually gravitate towards that style of bass but that is lovely. Wilkinson pickups are very underrated , 99% of people would not be able to tell they were "budget" pickups if the covers were unbranded. The one i have in my HB P is huge sounding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Some more of Lukasz's creation which are available IIRC he was also selling a red fretless - wouldn't be surprised if it sold but worth asking the man himself. @Lukasz Chyla Edited October 5, 2023 by TheGreek 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
