Are there any Stenback owners on basschat? I love the look of these and every time someone plays one it seems to be like some sort of bass spiritual awakening.

I know they stopped taking orders and there is no website anymore, is there a huge waiting list? He also mentioned exciting developments which they never said any more about on facebook.

Just interested to know more I guess.

Well tom is building 15 basses per year roughly so the more time on emails , the less time building , and he's alone ....

if thats the ones i think about they're not walnut but tainted ash.

i had one in stock , amazing JB , sounded nuts but on the heavy end of things

built between 82 and mid 84 roughly , after went on to be "A serial" ...... from 84 to 86 ... etc and so on

Nice. Been looking for a lefty version for over a year now.
[/quote]

good luck , from geeking around they estimate that 10% of JV instruments were done lefty....

I'm liking these ideas!
I might have to start with the 2 necks option & then at a later date, get a 2nd loaded body built.
[/quote]

you'll then need to send the neck to adrian or to the shop , to make sure the neck is perfect fit ....

(i had a customer asking same)

Adrian told me the configurator is very complicated to do and program , more options and things will be added as they go along

there's a FB group "public peace configurator" where you can go and post your feedback


[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1494235338' post='3294123']
I'm a little disappointed the configurator isn't fully complete yet, I'm not GASing for a jazz style bass, however I am DESPERATE for a decent P currently and some of my wants are very specific.

The configurator however is a phenomenal idea and something more brands should look in to adding to their website, it'll simplify the process of getting any custom bass ordered!
[/quote]

The custom configurator is now live guys ! ;-)

I had a customer asking for the same sort of vibe , it came out a sputnik with solid color is a bit cheaper ...

Just asked , bolt on is not possible ... so solid color is the only way to bring price a bit down.

I have no idea but he can eventually do a bolt on? No idea, you need to ask him


[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1493545921' post='3288996']
Question, I really like the Sputnik, but I notice it's always the most expensive model but does anyone know if Adrian could cater for a more budget Sputnik? I guess the price comes from the premium woods used for the Sputnik so do you reckon he could do it cheaper with non premium materials?


I'm probably best off emailing Adrian but thought I would ask here too.
[/quote]

The customizer will be updated as it goes along as apparently its a proper nightmare to program .....

So worry not , your wallet is in trouble lol , all shapes and models will be possible


[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1493479817' post='3288682']
So, turns out that the customizer on the website will be for the Elwood's only, at least for now.

My wallet is safer than it was.

I know you described it as Lake Placid Blue, but I always thought LPB was lighter.

Beautiful bass none the less though!
[/quote]

i agree , however that's his version of it

i may have just wet myself .....

My custom is kinda close too ,

54 style PB (sting) in Lake placid blue , matching head, ebony board ;-)

Some kinda porn that's gonna be éy....

Morning guys ,

may be of some interest to some of you....

adrian told me they just did their 1st Thunderbird design Maruszczyk ;-)

other Gibson shapes maybe will come later.

Anybody play a Jazzus? If so, how does it compare to a US Fender Jazz?
[/quote]

the jazzus is a 34 scale on a shorter body. (you'd have to ask adrian if you needed exact measurements)

to me they're nicer as they have perfect balance (i played many when at adrian's house) ....

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1486906859' post='3235379']

Is it done yet?

By the way, does anyone know if Adrian does neck through versions of the Jake/Elwood?
[/quote]

hi hi, i had to ask for a customer once. As far as i know he does do them. Didn't seem to be a problem back then.

[quote name='Lightlyseared' timestamp='1486423034' post='3231741']
What is the standard neck shape like on a Jake?
[/quote]

standard is Modern C shape , 21mm at 1st fret but again Adrian can supply just about any shape as far as i know

Sei Bass

ah , They're at Namm , i should go one day haha

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1484471892' post='3215600']

[/quote]

Well I have a pair of Dingwalls (a Super P5 and a Super J5), and I much prefer the string length to the Combustion I had before both in terms of playability (small hands) and tone (the G really sings at 32", and the B is still tighter than a Fender at 35").

Here's a clip I did of my Super J a couple nights ago (guest starring my Egyptian Mau, Chloë).

Would really like to try one of the Maruszczyks. If he can make a six string fanned fret, then I'm REALLY interested.
[/quote]

of course he can ... custom order only most likely.
