Ditto!

I hope to be able to install new pickups in my MM Brute over the Christmas break. I've had the dang pickups for probably 3 months now

Not yet, but I have seen a mean looking Brute in the classified that is calling me

, love the mods that was done on it, I'm very tempted for that one.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a white Brute pickguard with just the MM bridge pickup cutout. Anyone know who sells material similar in thickness to the stock pickguard?

TRichardsbass · #**251** 01-06-2013, 06:34 AM

Three ply or four ply is fine.

selassie1 · #**252** 01-09-2013, 03:40 PM

Thanks - I'll post some pics when it's complete.

Headed to Baltimore tonight to check out fellow Brubaker Artist Kevin Walker. Taking my black MJX5 as they might let me get down a little as well. Should be a fun time. Holla!!!

BassDepot · #**254** 01-11-2013, 01:55 AM

I'm looking for a black JJX5, does anyone have stock on this?

TRichardsbass · #**255** 01-11-2013, 05:32 AM

Check BASS NORTHWEST. Also I think Bass and Beyond and also The High Studio.

BassDepot · #**256** 01-11-2013, 11:18 AM

...thanks, been there, everyone is out of stock on the JJX-5...

Hey if you get a MJX5 and add a coil splitter the front SC with the rear coil on the MM makes for mean JB tone. I did this with my Brute Single Cut and always end up playing this combo. Man it just sounds so good to my ears.

BassDepot · #**258** 01-11-2013, 03:34 PM

Wanna sell it to me... ;-)

I hope this is the right place to ask, but several questions about the Brubaker Brute MJX-5
1. How does it sound compared to something like a classic Fender jazz? Does it have more of a P-bass sound (sorry if this sounds like I'm kinda new to bass)?
2. Where can you get one of these online? How about a more custom option (if there is one) for the MJX5? Any catalog to choose certain options?
3. What is the average weight of this bass?

Go to the Brubaker Guitars web site. There is a pdf you can download and has info on the Brutes.
Brutes have a modern aggressive sound. Does not sound like a jazz or a p-bass. With the front sc soloed it can get a pbass tone. The JJX has a nice fenderish tone as well. Like I said with a MJX and a coil splitter it can get a jazz bass like tone but not exactly but it is still very good.
