Y'all have probably seen this on the other thread, but if not... this will be with me on Wednesday :-)

Lee Pomeroy. Fantastic player.

Come to Daddy! It'll be here next week :-)

Great fun... considerin it was at half 3 in the afternoon! [/quote] That's bloody brilliant. Well done.

Here's some pics I've taken of Warwickhunt's Jake. As I mentioned earlier, it's a beaut. The swept-back headstock is a great idea. You don't notice it until you see it in the flesh...

While I wait for mine to be delivered (back end of next week, maybe?), Warwickhunt has very kindly lent me his Fiesta Red Classic Jake for my gig tomorrow night, I've just spent most of the evening plunking away on it - I can't put it down. It's absolutely wonderful. I shall report back tomorrow...

Limelight gets the closest for my money. FWIW, relics that aren't in the old Fender stylee make my brain hurt.

Shoreline gold at that. The bass I refered to back at the start of the thread..

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1432071212' post='2777958'] Just seen this - check out the screens at 1:24! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT7k_pJRcKE [/quote] Yup.

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1431853198' post='2775483'] This place does spongey mutes. I have no experience of them; I found them whilst looking for mutes for a 5-string. [url="http://www.bassmute.com/"]http://www.bassmute.com/[/url] [/quote] I don't think they're making them any more. They never reply to emails, anyway. Palm muting works for me.

I just merged 'em. TBH I didn't look where they were beforehand. Apologies for the confusion.

It's bloody lovey. I couldn't put it down...

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1431516639' post='2772068'] these look so nice, does anyone know what the string spacing is for the 5er's? I've seen 19mm as a special, if they can do 17.5-18mm then I think that they might beat limelight for my next bass, 5 sting Jake, sonic blue with matching headstock and a rosewood board. probably just a p-pup and passive. not made my mind up on the scratchplate, mint or torty? att [/quote] I'm guessing you can specify the spacing. I was able to specify just about every detail of my incoming Jake.

I doubt you could go wrong with either. I know Maruzyzyk can do relics, but Limelight will get you visually closer if it's a clone you're after.

The one I played yesterday was Fiesta red. Definitely not metallic, and maybe a shade less 'pink' than you would expect from Fender, but still identifiably Fiesta red as opposed to the other reds.

I've just had my first in-the-flesh dalliance with a Maruszczyk Jake. It was someone else's 'cos mine isn't here yet. Goodness me... what a beauty. It screams quality. Can't wait for mine to land...

My Jake custom should be with me in around two weeks :-)

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1431344965' post='2770159'] But it's not just the keys with Geddy, it's the strange wailing delivery he seems to have adopted too. That changes the whole dynamic of the song IMO. [/quote] Yeah - his phrasing is just weird now...

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1431334942' post='2770005'] Knowledge of music, knowing what works in making good music, is much more important than chops. [/quote] Yup.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1431283150' post='2769610'] Do any manufacturers state those specifications? [/quote] TKS.
