I like the look of the small pole showing through. Suppose I could just get small hole covers. Actually just looking at them it wouldn’t work as the covers are cut exactly around the poles.

I've a couple of Maruszczyk Jake 5 stringers, one is a P/J (not sure of the pickups but they have small poles) and the other is P/MM with large pole Delano pickups. I love everything about this second bass (the red one) except for the large pole pieces. They look terrible (to me). Is there a set of modern sounding P/MM 5 string passive pickups that anyone can recommend as I can't find any online or in stores?

He's retired :(.

As I go to Hastings every couple of weeks that might be easier. Many thanks

Setup in Sussex - Does anyone know where I can get my double bass setup in the Sussex area (preferably, though I'll include south London or the south-east )? I've googled but can't find anyone who isn't the other end of the country.

Setup in Sussex - Just found this post and as it's relevant to my question I thought I'd ask here (rather than start yet another post).

I've a Suitcase and a C8 that I use exclusively nowadays. I'm in Buxted, about 40 minutes from Sevenoaks, and you're welcome to come and try it if you want.

I've 2 Maruszczyk Jake 5's. Both chambered and both around 7lbs in weight. Both perfect.

I have two Maruszczyk Jake 5's (a P/J and a P/MM) and they both weigh only 7lbs (they are both chambered - not all of them are), which is why I bought them. They look 'traditional', so if you don't want something 'modern' looking that might be the way to go.
