    I can switch via the es-8 if needed but to be honest both heads are live all the time!

    Interesting, how do you plug them both in? Been wanting to do a clean/dirty rig for a while now!

    If that configuration tool works like Warmoth, I'm so in there. For days. Weeks. Months.

    On the plus side, hopefully it'll clear up the "how much does this option cost?" nonsense that is the case now with prices a bit hidden from direct view.

    Good point, it'll make the prices even more attractive!

    It's been two days since receipt of my new Elwood L and I seem to be more open mouthed every time I play it. This is my first fretted [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maruszczyk and I'm absolutely knocked out by the quality of the fretwork. I've tried and bought (not all of them) many top end guitars and basses and this is [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]without doubt the best finished neck and fretboard I've ever played, bar none. As previously mentioned, I've replaced the strings with [/color][/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EB Cobalt flats and I've just replaced the tone capacitor to my [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]preferred 1 meg value and I can honestly say that I don't think this bass could be any better now. A massive shout out for the Delano JSBC HE pickups, they're really articulate and clear, but growl nicely when you dig in. I'm seriously considering changing out the Bassculture MM pickup on my Elwood L fretless for an MC-4 HE on strength of these jazz pickups. Suffice to say that I'm a very happy camper and even more of a fanboy than I already was.[/color][/font]

    Just a question about those Delano's how close to a Stingrayish grind are yours? The one in my Flying V is really close to that tonality, but still sounds like a P pickup.

    Just wondered if the pickups in your Elwood did the same thing for Jazz's!

    Yes a great pick and the first I thought of. This, the Steve Harris and the Mike Dirnt current models all have the slimmer 40mm nut which would be the one I'd go for. Not quite as small as the Jazz 38mm nut but still wide enough to feel like a P.

    Nate's signature model is crafted on his own favourite 70's P bass. I forget the year, possibly '71.

    Just want to make a point about the Harris, it's got a rather Chunky neck, so if you're not a fan of that style of neck then I'd rule it out.

    It also depends on if you like West Ham or not :D

    If Mesinger start doing a Firebird-a-like, I'm in real trouble. :unsure:

    It'll be like that with an Explorer for me...

    I'd have to sell the Epiphone!

    Week 10 of my new Speesy build.

    Can't wait!

    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.

    Hopefully an Explorer type thing.

    This isn't helping my GAS either, I always wondered if he'd do a bass version of the Valentine!

    On his way to me...thursday is only the day after tomorrow...

    Yum.

    Used mine for a Jazz set last night, sounded great despite being relegated to the J pickup as the P was far too overbearing!
