Jazzneck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Go topless young man, only fit a bridge cover. This, admittedly, is a half-way house but it looks good, allows space to play and you can stick your knickers under the bridge cover to mute dem strings when needed.

Matt P Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 i'm a bridge cover only guy, i did fit the pickup cover as well (the holes were already there) but after one short practice session i took it off. i don't really palm mute anymore, i switched to floating thumb instead.

colleya Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Put my deposit down on a 63 jazz a couple of weeks ago. Mark said the lead time was roughly 12 weeks but he hoped it would be a bit less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_bass Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1419239285' post='2637778'] I think this must be the best looking bass I have ever seen! Wow! just Wow! [/quote] Yarp. It's sitting in my little studio right next to me as we speak! It's lush alright and sounds brill too. Very glad I snaffled it up!

I am now really really envious! Lucky you - it just looks perfect to me One day, I'll order one of these fab basses....

theyellowcar Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 [quote name='Hector' timestamp='1422362411' post='2671569'] Well, this is on it's way to me soon. 63P in faded sonic blue, with lightest relic available. Can't wait to get my hands on it! [/quote] Wooooooow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Got it yesterday and can't put it down. Lovely classic P bass sound, and feels spot on. Really pleased by how even the tone is all along the neck. Just missed a full day in the studio and evening gig on Monday, but have a gig this Saturday so can road test and see how it sits in the mix (very well I'd expect!).

peety Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I originally had a limelight maybe 18 months ago was a P bass olympic white over sunburst heavy relic foolishly sold it, so have taken the plunge and just placed an order for a medium to heavy relic 63P in burgundy mist with matching headstock and rosewood board, have to say once again Mark has been excellent to deal with lead time 12 weeks now for the worst bit the waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledum Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 12 weeks, hmmm hmmm, that means mine will be ready by e/o march. Ach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 After a couple of rehearsals and gigs, I can safely say that this is a [b]great[/b] bass! Sits prefectly in the mix, and really nails the classic flatwound P sound. An embarrassingly large amount of compliments from people who know what they're talking about. It's a good 'blank canvas' to shift the tone towards a more specific type too - I use an Aguilar Tone Hammer pre, and have some settings I've worked out that give me a very good B15 impersonation. Very happy indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
