Here's a nice shot by a local photographer, from last week when I filled in for a cover band. I was tucked nicely behind the guitarists amp.

Placed my order with Randy @ Bass spotlight a couple of weeks ago for this lightweight Elwood L 5 string. Old school...Aguilar 60 PU, Passive and with a control plate (not shown) and battery box (if I want to go active)..VVT controls. Quilted maple top...he sent me images and I chose which piece of wood to use on the top. Swamp ash body, flamed maple fingerboard, lightweight tuners, etc.. This is the 5th one that I will own. I have sold one in the past, but still currently have 4.

Love the quilted maple top and color, I chose the exact same for my Paddock on order. That's gonna be a nice J.

I'm between the Jake and Mopped B body shapes.

Any owner of a Mopped B, around here? How is the balance? I notice that in the configurator the strap pin is on the 12th fret, but in the rare pictures I found online, it's in the 13th-14th fret.
How's the reach to the first fret? And playing sitting down?


Any pics of owners with Mopped B? And how is the 55 headstock live?



Thanks!

I just recieved a Mopped B last week, I'm currently getting it dialed in. The balance is good, no neck dive, sits even with the strap. It does sit a little off to the left but not by much compared to the Jake or Elwood. I'm still getting acquainted with it used it at practice last night, no issues, sounds great.

That's beautiful!

Is the neck tinted vintage maple? That's what I asked for in mine, I love that color.


Could you please show a picture of the whole bass? Thanks!

Have you thought about not having a pickguard at all? Wood that pretty shouldn't be covered.
(Speaking only for myself.)
