    I've just taken delivery of a beautiful Maruszczyk. Lead time is only about 12 weeks aswell. And as has already been said anything you want is possible!
  2. cocco
    It's really not.

    Mine is home. Far exceeding my expectations to be honest. It's an absolute monster! Plays like a dream. Looks incredible, even if the wife doesn't understand why it has a reversed headstock. Never been happier, just can't wait for practice now. Roll on Monday!

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1455723657' post='2981844'] My Haussel-laden PJ is warm and vintagey, exactly as Adrian said it would be. My Maruszczyk-wearing Oly (which has just been put in a postbox, on its way to its lucky new owner) is hotter and more aggressive. And the bridge humbucker burps like a monster. [/quote] Glad I went for the Maruszczyk pickups in that case In other news I've missed my delivery. hopefully I can pick it up from the depot tonight

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455633664' post='2980892'] Looks lovely, currently waiting for mine. The wait is agonizing! Oh well, a few more hours till tomorrow! [/quote] I'm not even going to be home when mine is delivered. God knows when I'll actually get it.

    [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455549266' post='2980081'] Guys, I am proper stoked for you. You'll have to let me know how long it was from initial order to your door so I know what lead time I'm looking at. [/quote] Mine will be 11 weeks if its here this week. Guess I picked the optimum time, he seems to work in batches.

    [quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1455358561' post='2978362'] Wow! [/quote] I know, right?!?!?!
  13. cocco

  14. cocco
    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455292844' post='2977928'] Sent an email about that, didn't get a response. So will have to tell you when it turns up. [/quote] Looks like it could be mirrored with a cover over it?
  15. cocco
    WANT! But incoming Marusczyk.

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455183243' post='2976681'] It really is! I tried to combine all the things I love about my Steve Harris basses and my Geddy Lee, but without the weight of the Harris, so the neck profile is similar to my MIM Harris whilst it looks a bit like my Geddy with the black blocks. Looks stunning though. [url="http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/Andyscarlettreviews/media/Jake_zpsvhnnw7yy.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] That looks lovely, Whats the scratch plate made of?

    [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455181048' post='2976648'] That looks phenomenal, I have some idea what I'm likely to see when mine is next to the sofa now As to the reference it's from Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. Disaster Area are the band that had the blackest spacship in the universe. </gkke> [/quote] I can't believe I missed that reference. I loves me some Adams

    [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455180049' post='2976635'] Phwoar!! I went for the blank board too. I'm tempted to call mine "disaster area". Points if you get the reference. [/quote] Thanks mate. I don't get the reference unfortunately. The fretboard on mine is ebony aswell. It looks so sleek. I said I wanted the blackest Jake possible and I don't think it could have got much blacker!

    [quote name='Mattpt85' timestamp='1455141677' post='2976485'] Speechless [/quote] Oooof that flame is lovely!

    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1455123929' post='2976195'] I have a hankering for one of these but I am really put off by the "JAKE" logo on them I know that is shallow but I just cant get my head around it it just seems so crap and tacky it would be OK if your name was Jake I guess I think if it wasn't for that I would seriously be thinking of pulling the trigger on one infact I may email and ask if I can have one without that logo. [/quote] Mines going to just have the M. Sibobs shoreline gold Jake has aswell.

    [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455116907' post='2976075'] And of course when yours arrives photos are required too!! [/quote] Absolutely. I'll probably post the "sofa shot" on here before I've had a good look at it
  24. cocco
    [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455115471' post='2976052'] black everything 5 string with an ebony fingerboard, 3 Delano pickups on it, a MM/J, a P and a soapbar for the neck. All pickups have individual volumes so totally blendable, 2 band active EQ on a stackable pot. I want it to be stupidly versatile. [/quote] mine is a 4 string jake, black everything with P/Jazzbucker passive. Mine has a reversed head stock. Im excited to see yours!

    [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455114316' post='2976031'] So anyway I'm now destined for the next few months of checking this thread, checking my mail for updates and howling like a sad dog at the door until my custom Jake arrives. [/quote] What spec have you gone for mate?
