2 weeks down and I'm more antsy with the waiting than when I was for my first Elwood L. Maybe that's because I have an aching shoulder from a long rehearsal with the boat anchor.

I'm 5/6 weeks in.

It doesn't get any easier.

I'm already there!

I've built this bass 11 years ago (out of raw wood! ), then modified it at least couple of times. Still is my main bass (that is when I don't play upright)!

In answer to your original post which contained the line

Join us!

4 weeks into waiting for my build and it's a pain.

Oh well, just another few to go. Hopefully I'll get it in time for the very last gig of my course...

Ask for things like Ebay/any forum id. A seller who is genuine would have no problems sending it over.

But I'd wait for advice with this.

Hey guys, if I was going to clean my Speesy what would I use for the body? Elbow grease?

It's a gloss finish.

So who bought the Ash and Maple fan-fret Jazz from Bass Direct recently? That I have to say was a very nice bass indeed.
[/quote]

Wasn't me. I was gassing for it though.

Beautiful!!!

(I'm of course talking about the bass )

Aw!

I'll sort some photos when my second 32" is finished - both ACGs but very different flavours
[/quote]

Heard lovely things about ACG, would love to own one at somepoint.

My 32 scale bass, tried it at a gig a couple of nights ago and it was super.



Anyone tried a 5 string 32 bass? What's it like?

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1488026748' post='3245129']
I went through a similar process when I was trying out Gibson Les Pauls. The Gibson Les Paul Standard (Traditional) is a really nice guitar but not £2200 good. At this point it is what it is.

How's was the QC on them? Been hearing bad things about them over the past few years.

With tons of options like Lakland, Sandberg, Maruszczyk and various other builders available for less than 2K, I wouldn't bother with Fender right now unless the *right* bass came along or I got a really good deal on something used (I love my MIJ Fenders)

On the Ibanez front, did you find that they sounded really honky and midrangey? That was my impression of them in Glasgow, but it could have been an ancient battery.

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1487978315' post='3244865']
That really looks the part
[/quote]

It sounds like it too,

the next one is having a black and white chessboard finish,

Saw it on one of his Les Paul models and couldn't resist something a bit off the rails.

Love the Lakland basses, my JSonic was an instant winner for me.

I tried one of the DJ basses in Glasgow when I was there, it sounded and played great. However the Jsonic had exactly what I was wanting with a J so it won out.

Awesome colour too, HNGD.

So, played my Speesy for the first time at a gig last night, it sounded amazing and exactly what I had in mind with this, it's really, really suited to a band mix. Like a P but has a Stringrayish grind to it. Which makes the excitement for my second one even more great, as I put a MM humbucker in it.



Obligatory picture, if this thing works

Edit: Sorry for breaking your computer monitors

I thought it was this one (as it's mine)



But I've just ordered another one of those...

From your comment that all screws are tight and speakers are securely fixed to baffle then my first thought (without knowing the cab make, construction material, bracing and dimensions) would be insufficient bracing. Get someone to play loudly through cab to induce the vibrations. Use your hands to find and damp the offending panels. Obtain some scrap 3" strips (approx) of 12mm (or thicker) mdf or ply or 2" x 1" (or an old broom handle). Cut these to provide a tight internal cross bracing where the vibrations occur. This shows the idea (courtesy of BFM) [url="http://www.billfitzmaurice.info/images/Templates/bracing.jpg"]http://www.billfitzm...tes/bracing.jpg[/url]. It might provide the solution, from practical experience it does make a difference.

Edited the OP for more info,

I'll try this tomorrow.

So I've just got a new cab, which was making a farting noise when I played through it.

That has now been solved, but now my 2*15 is vibrating/resonating at louder volumes.

What could be causing it? Everything feels tightly put into the cabinet, so I'm not sure.

Edited, I don't know much about this cab, but it's a JCM800 Bass cabinet with two fifteen inch Celestion in it,
don't know more than that.

Really good guys at Guitar Guitar Glasgow, bought my Lakland from them.

Ryan is ace.

I want a Harris!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1487709218' post='3242108']
Easy. Speak to Adrian at Maruszczyk and get the exact P you've always wanted.
[/quote]

This.

That looks like a lovely bass! What's the finish type? Looks lovely.

Mrs Ez is on board so I'll be ordering the new build today and transferring the money; exciting times are here again.

What are you going for?

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1487605257' post='3241118']
My custom build from AJR guitars (Andy of this forum) is as good as any other custom build i've played.
Better than most. 100% individual spec too.
I'm aware my spec might not be to everyones taste, but i made it for me, not for opinions

It has been featured as bass of the week here:

Worth sending him a message i reckon

That's a unique looking bass.

I love it.
