  1. I've got a chambered 32" Jake and the balance is spot on for me on a Mono strap
  2. Cheers for that, hardly anyone remembered it! 👍🏻
  3. @AndyTravis Bit off topic this, but do you have any memory of a music shop at the far end of deansgate, near 42s... not Forsyths, I think it might have been called Deansgate Music. This would have been mid-late 90s, but I'd just started playing so my knowledge was poor. Fairly sure there were lots of Spectors/Warwicks in the basement room
  4. Never seen anything decent in there lefty-wise. I made the mistake of trying to offload a few basses in there, was met by a disinterested low-ball offer each time so never bothered again
  5. So, if I were to order a LH JB75 @£122, and the £8 delivery quoted, then the £130 total would be all I had to pay, am I right?
  6. @Double Thumper Thanks very much indeed Andy, this will come in very handy. Really appreciate it. I think I already subscribe to your channel (going by the name at the bottom of your tabs) and I've commented on a few of your vids - I'm James. Keep them coming - they're fantastic! Cheers again for the tab
  7. I saw that earlier. Absolutely bizarre
  8. I got mine about a year ago and it's spot-on. Bass is the best I've played. Feel, weight, sound. It has everything. It's not wildly spectacular in terms of looks etc but chambered medium scale precisions don't exist left handed
  9. Saw this on FB last week, a seemingly new colour "Vista Green" Got to be honest, I'd have preferred this over the Valley Green I have but hey ho
  10. I noticed that straight away. The price was a dead giveaway too. What a crock 💩
  11. Strange. He's normally very accommodating from what I've heard. Maybe the furore over the nitro finished bass which went around here some time back may have cooled his enthusiasm for going beyond his normal custom options.
  12. This. It's not very much of a difference in fairness. I balanced it out with a higher mass bridge and hipshot tuners
  13. Don't see why not. You'd have to ask Maruszczyk about it though as it's not a selectable option. In fact I didn't even realise it was a thing until they put up a picture of 3 Jakes together, 34", 32", and 30" and they were each smaller in turn
  14. The forearm contour isn't quite as pronounced as a fender on mine, but it is plenty comfortable. Also, as mine is a medium scale, the body size is slightly scaled down which is perfect for me being a bit on the smaller side. The 30" are smaller still.
  15. What is it you're not fond of, the EQ in this particular bass or active electronics in general? I've only ever owned one bass that wasn't passive so haven't much experience with them
  16. Looks great - always been tempted by one of these
  17. Not sure what to make of this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/P-bass-left-handed-Perfect-Balance-Bass-by-PCsGC-/193840192221?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
  18. I did this, removed the scratch plate and now it looks really nice. Mine's got a quite attractive burst on it, some I've seen look a bit pants. There are YouTube tutorials on how to paint the nut, reverse the pickup orientation and T-Cut out the truss rod logo but I think it's a waste of time myself. Each to their own I suppose
  19. Saw a Harley Benton Jazz on this morning for 70 quid that lasted all of about 3 hours
  20. If it wasn't collection only I'd have that Sire. A bit too far from the frozen North for me!
