In the works at Brubaker...

Seeing that jazz never gets old.
As I've said many times, Kevin's basses are the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen.

I didn't read the whole thread,...just glanced over the pics, so I don't know if I'm the only one with this gripe,...but the lack of contrast between the PG and the fingerboard on that Jazz is a bit much for me. It may look good if the fingerboard was stained and finished to match the PG or an all together darker wood (ie rosewood or ebony) for the fingerboard was used. Otherwise it's a beautiful bass. The burst detail around the PG is nice.
EDIT: I know Brubaker's rep and it's build quality is top notch,...just offering up a little constructive criticism.

The 12 string tuned in the circle of 5ths - Hmmm... I could play a whole set and never set my beer down, even if they called something like Giant Steps.

Good thing Kevin(Brubaker) asked for your input
I have just that much clout round these parts.

Brad, I have been wondering what is up with Kevin's Jazz bass... Those pictures are amazing! Is he in production on that model and if so, what is the price? Are the 5's 34" scale?
I'm surprised they're came out as well as they did, considering I used my Treo 700P's camera.
Yep, they're in full swing. 34" scale is standard on fours and fives. He's currently working on a seven and I'm trying to decide on whether to get a six to replace the shadowbuilt six I just let go.
Can't put any pricing info in a thread.
Courtesy of Preach. Both of these were recently delivered. The Redwood had the 1-5/8" nut. Narrow but still easy to play. Personally I'd stick with 1-3/4".
Redwood JXB-5. Preach's new Jazz...
Dave redesigned the single screw control cavity cover. Worked out great.
Ash on Ash with Ash neck, Maple board JXB-5. Didn't get a chance to check this one out...
Here's a Brute MJX-5 with custom pickguard

Nice piece of Ash!
Here's some pics of the recently completed JXB-7. Spalted Maple top, Maple body, Maple neck with 200+ year old Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Bartolini 3 band preamp and wide seven string pickups. Black and gold Hipshot hardware. Satin finish. Glad I don't need a seven
