Low End Jazz Megathread, post pics and soundbites!!

[p0k]

Just got word that my LEPJ could be done this week! I asked Brian if he had any pics, but I haven't heard back yet. I'll be sure to post one if I get one! woohoo!!!

Has yours got a buck eye burl top by any chance?

 

[p0k]

Nope...mines nothing fancy, but smoking hot nonetheless. Here are some progress pics!

Set up with volume, blend, tone, and lej pre. It has a switch to shut off one of the neck pups to turn it into a jazz.

And here is one with the pup-cover on.

Damn that's nice. I love the preamp options that Brian has. It seems as though he has a switch for just about everything a customer could want... except for the "Marcus Miller Skills" on/off switch. I'll get that one retro fitted once it's available.

Hey Jazzenfunk, I owned that bass last, sold it through BassNW... I DO miss her, but I picked up to Carvin SB-5000's and am showing them the love... However, that is a FINE bass!! ENjoy!

A vid I shot at church about a year ago. Playing what's needed. LOL

 

[TRBman]

lol! you seem asleep at the bass!

 

[diglo]

Lol! I had to concentrate because we never practiced. So, I was just getting set list that morning.

 

[TRBman]

Ok that's cool and this is for your advantage,well juggled

 

[diglo]

Another church performance. @TRBman...hope I don't look sleepy, LOL!

 

[TRBman]

you're grooving high on this one
and what a great looking and sounding LEJ5!

Played my LEPJ at church yesterday...sounded amazing. I highly recommend getting one of the P-J switches. Its awesome to be able to switch between a P, a PJ, and a true J on the fly!

I stopped in the Low End today and Brian handed me this one. Unbelievable sound! Those are both tone knobs - there's no volume control on the bass - Brian said it was 'plug and play'. Tone was off the hook. We were a-b'ing a Glock cab with a DNA-DNS-410; the Glock had more bottom to it, but it's rated for 850W RMS, and the DNA is rated at 1400RMS, 2800 peak (my rig has a crown XLS-1500 bridged into a DNA 410 4ohm at 1,550W, and it's got a *lot* of bottom). Forget the cabs, tho - that bass sounded great!! Neck was a little wider than my LEJ-5, but it really sounded thumpy and warm - it'd be a great funk bass, even if it looks rock and roll-ey. I think Brian said it was $3800.00?

Thanks guys, real excited about the new exotic tbirds and wait till you see the 6. The pickup config is pretty wild on the quads and the 2 to 3 band sq switch has gotten great reviews, new option coming.

The dna cabs are crazy, the volume they pump is unreal.

 

[diglo]

The 2 to 3 band eq switch is nice! Play through a glock rig and 70's ampeg rig.

hi all , i am a proud owner of another great lej that brian has produced ,

ive had it for about 8 months and im loving every minute

any opinions on nickel vs stainless steel ?

at the moment im using black diamond 45-125 nickels , and they feel a bit harder to play , and i feel the low B does not come out as well as it can , if u know what i mean ...
