MR Fat Freddy,
What would be the difference between the Caspar and Joker.
Is there any Reason why u went with Joker.
I know Joker is little more expensive and I think it looks nicer than the Caspar .
I was think about getting the Caspar but that Joker sure looks a lot better to my eyes.
Thanks again.
You can check their site to work out the differences between the Joker and the Cazpar....

My main influence in going for the Joker was primarily the look of it but also, I liked the sounds that Adrian got out of the Joker on this demo...



Again....Hope this helps...:)

I absolutely love adrians demos. Or the demos on the public peace channel in general. Maybe that's silly to say since they're basically advertisements, but he really gets across his passion and he obviously makes those basses sound amazing. If I'm ever around that area I should visit their show room.

Ok.....The measurements.....

From the bottom of the neck to the bottom strap holder....12 inches....

At widest point side to side....14 inches....

From tip of horn to bottom strap holder 19 inches....

All measurements approx but near as dammit! :).....

Once again.....hope this helps....:thumbsup:
 
Love this thread!

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on something like this - a Elwood with P/J pickups. I would put a black pickguard on it and change the hardware to a Hipshot B-style bridge and Ultralite tuners however. And get rid of the Delano pickups.

Had another Elwood with J/J pickups a couple of years ago, which I sold because I started playing in another band that needed a P-bass sound. Loved the bass but hated the bridge, the saddles kept falling out because the locking screws became worn out.

Despite that I'm having a hard time finding something with better quality at this price point, especially with this level of custom options.

thanks for the measurements.....as I thought, it's much wider than all my other basses by at least 2 inches......It might be very similar to a PRS guitar (which I have)....I'll check your measurements against the PRS later tonight......
 
It's a short scale...which makes the body look bigger

it's body is bigger than any of my short scales......short scales are normally built with the body being smaller than long scale basses. The Joker is more or a hollow body bass type though it is smaller than a Gibson Hollow body Short Scale bass, or others like them, Jack Cassady short scale bass, etc.
