[quote name='JoeTomW' timestamp='1444613660' post='2884529'] That is such a nice bass! Maruszczyk are doing something right! Just a quick one because I can't seem to find the answer anywhere; are the dimensions of the Maruszczyk jake the same dimensions as a standard p bass? I am hoping to get one but a standard precision is slightly big for my size and I have a condition that limits movement in my left hand. My other bass is Fender jazz American special. The body is fine and the neck is superb on that for example. [/quote] You can pretty much spec what you like - I did.

But seriously, this one's pretty good:

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1444401589' post='2882967'] The one played by the best bass player in the world, of course. Wish I could remember her name... [/quote] Ah, Gladys Butterworth. Awesome. She plays a P through a stock 1985 Guinness Book of Records. It sounds tremendous.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1444335528' post='2882424'] So.Much.Want. [/quote] Yeah - it's a cracker. To be honest, it's overkill for most stuff, but it's nice to have it.

This one:

Put it between two heavy sheets of glass in the sunlight. Leave it a while. Sorted.

^^^ that's all good to hear. One of the main issues I had with my cabs was the use of MDF, meaning some of the joints weren't great. Bear in mind this is a number of years ago now, so hopefully that's a thing of the past!

It's dreadful. But so is everything before and after it...

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1443798091' post='2877828'] Yes it's not exactly a shining accolade is it.... [/quote] Why not? I know many part-time bands who are pretty formidable...

Of course - the main point of interest for me was how a chambered featherweight PJ can compare to a stock P. The age gap was immaterial, really.. it was just a bit'o'fun.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1443715746' post='2877134'] Thank you. I fancy trying some. [/quote] You're weclome. I ordered some direct from Lakland last Tuesday. They arrived yesterday. £22 all-in

[quote name='deaky' timestamp='1443616317' post='2876246'] Sorry WOT bad day. Apologies [/quote] No problem! I hope today's been better :-)

Hello! They're Precision flats.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1443626072' post='2876385'] Obviously a P-Bass has certain sound characteristics but it is not as tho all of them by the same maker sound the sound.. so the difference between the 2 examples are just that..THE two examples recorded. Put another two up from the same makers and I'd be pretty sure they'd have sound differences. [/quote] Oi fink we noe dat :-)

Cheers for playing along, (almost) everyone. And the answer is: Precision, then Jake.

[quote name='deaky' timestamp='1443605403' post='2876081'] Your welcome. [/quote] What you up to today, then? Owt exciting?

[quote name='deaky' timestamp='1443604522' post='2876060'] Who cares! [/quote] Thanks for taking the time to contribute. It means a lot.

7.2lbs right here...

Well, I can reveal that... some of you have got it right. (FWIW, if I had to guess, I would have got it wrong too)

Hmm... serial numbers aside, it' still a pretty unique instrument...

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1443389444' post='2874377'] Have you ever heard the version from the Concert For Bangladesh? - Klaus Voormann does a great job with it although he simplified the A minor twiddley bit. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei6VyjlgxZU[/media] [/quote] The line works well here, 'cos Ringo and Jim are playing a more conventional drum part. It makes me wonder if the hi-hats were taken out of the studio version during the mix.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1443525390' post='2875477'] Looks like a [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-active-p-bass-special-chrome-red-maple/15792"]Deluxe Active Precision Special[/url] to me, with upgraded bridge and pups. [/quote] Aren't they MIM...?
