cocco Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm incredibly tempted to enquire about an ebony Mensinger preacher (Les Paul) bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefbaker Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm going to hold off till mine arrives and if I don't pick up a fretless at the london bass guitar show and I think my Jake is good enough I'll be ordering from them again.

cocco Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 [quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1456320104' post='2987773'] Great, thanks! Are they suede type of fabric on the back? All leather ones I've had in the past tend to slip a bit. [/quote] Mine isnt. It's matte on the front and shiny on the back. I have no slip issues at all, the bass balances pretty perfectly. I'd go as far as to say I prefer it to my Comfort Strapp. The leather is nice and tough too, once its over the strap button it aint going anywhere, it did take some convincing to get over in the first place though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREA Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) After 3 Rehearsals, I can say it was a very good Decision to go with Alder/Rosewood instead of an Ash Body this Time. Sounds amazing. Feels like a very good Addition to my Laki 55-02 wich is Ash/Maple.

wateroftyne Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 That's really pretty. I placed my order a couple of days ago, and I'm fighting the urge to tweak the spec already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I emailed Adrian earlier today just to remind him that I wanted it strung with flats. I just received this reply: "Hello, your bass would be ready next week and will come with the next delivy, I think 2-3 weeks," Talk about bang on schedule. Excitement levels at Ez Towers just went through the roof! I think I need a lie down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project_c Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Are they going to be at the LBGS? I might be joining this club soon but I'd like to try the Jake basses first if at all possible. Also - and this is a small point - I'm not a fan of the 'jake' name and the general graphic appearance of the headstock, do you guys think it would be naughty to ask for a plain headstock, or one that has my own artwork on it?

wateroftyne Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I've just emailed Adrian to change my spec for the millionth time.

[/quote] Yeah, the headstock logo does seem to be quite divisive. I don't mind it - the font is close enough to the TV logo to keep me happy.

The Knobs on the Lakland are just perfect. Edited February 27, 2016 by AREA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
