thebrig Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 [quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1475136805' post='3143256'] What a beauty is that! Question: did you know in advance from the way you spec'd it that it would look like that or was it a pleasant surprise? [/quote]Yes, I sent him pics of other basses on his site with the colour scheme I liked, I also chose to call it "Old Thumper" rather than Jake, I designed and sent him the logo, I chose to have white binding on the neck, and I wanted it to be chambered so it would be lightweight (7lb 5oz), I also asked for it to be medium scale, the body is alder with swamp ash veneer front and back, and I have to say that I'm very pleased with it. It's a happy day for yourself, it looks outstanding and I bet it will play and sound fantastic, it will be with you next week so let us know just how good it is.

pierreganseman Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) my custom is ready... full disclosure (i've seen people getting stoned for less on here) : i do work with Adrian for his dealer network.

[/quote] Firstly Secondly, I assume you're going to pick it up personally thus avoiding the dreaded courier wait. The ability to be able to do that makes me envious. I feel it's only a matter of time before I order another Elwood L from Adrian (I've already mocked it up and worked out the spec). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it would beat following the tracking online if one could remain strong willed to keep the credit card stored in one's wallet.

The fact he started with 4 basses now close to 11 years ago and now has 500 or 600 at his home. Is utterly inspiring for a kid like me trying to do something in this business. Adrian is one of the coolest i've met and I am even kind of honored to call him a mentor and even some sort of friend. He's been extremely generous with me. i'd encourage anybody to go.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
