Brubaker Brute Club

[J. Crawford]

I am officially the owner of a Brubaker Brute (well, its in the mail, but the money has been sent, etc.) and I feel the need to make a club. I dont do clubs too often, but with a whole new line up of basses, I plan to get back into things.

Im up for giving numbers, but I need a PM to tell me if youre in! If the numbers dont work, well figure something else out.

Unless Kevin Brubaker, or Brad Johnson, want numero uno, Ill take it!

Just PM me with your picture, etc., and Ill add you to the list.

Brubaker Brute Club #1 - J. Crawford

Here is mine, a picture from the seller i bought it from:

[Darkstrike]

Love the blackbursted flame maple guard, utterly beautiful.

 

[J. Crawford]

Anybody else?

 

[a2zbassman]

Alright, I guess I'm ready to join.

My Brute JJX-5

From stock when I bought it back in May:

To painted black and fully upgraded with Delano electronics:

Guess I'll take #3

 

[splitcoilsenior]

How are these basses, they looks sweet. Good for the money? Unique tone?

 

[J. Crawford]

How come you didnt get it stock?

But very nice bass! Just take your number guys!

Split, great basses. Supposedly the best in the price range.

 

[a2zbassman]

I did buy it stock. But kept on looking at the pictures of the Black with burst guard basses on the Brute forum and just had to have that color combo . . . so I did it myself. And decided to upgrade the electronics in the reassembly process.

Split, I love my Brute! It's got a thin, fast neck, and even stock it sounded great. Easily the best $600 I've ever laid down for a new bass. I just like to tinker too much I guess. That's why all the upgrades.

 

[J. Crawford]

I meant, why didnt you just get it black when you bought it? But you answered that question.

But you need to update your Avatar now!

My poor Fender went from all the spotlight the last few days, as I just got it 3 days ago, and now its looking at me funny.

I still love it, its still my main, but man, this Brute is awesome! When my pops gets home Ill take pics. He has the camera.

 

[orlando123]

Count me in O.K.

 

[J. Crawford]

Wow! That is killer! Other than the knobs, what have you done? How hard was it to do?

Okay, youre in!

J. Crawford - 1
Supertanker - 2
a2zbassman - 3
orlando123 - 4
coop - 7

 

[Flatty Banks]

These look like excellent basses. Might have to try one out myself...

 

[J. Crawford]

I would love a 6 string version to come out.

I may have to get another Brute sometime in the near future.

 

[DaveTomasi]

I would like to apply.

I love this bass. Kevin's words still ring true each time I pick it up. "This bass practically plays itself." In my case, that's quite an improvement.

Kevin is about to perform some upgrades to this guy in the very near future.

Notice the number hand written by Kevin himself.
