    My Maruszyzck fretless will arrive in the next 4-5 weeks, so I am now open to offers...

    I own the 2nd one of these, and it is THE most expressive bass you'll ever hear. I've played a Rob Allen, and it was only as good as my Firecreek (and 3 times the price). Somebody buy this bass- you'll never wipe the smile off your face...

    Hey, don't look at me- I'm just obeying the 36hr bumping rule...

    [attachment=220614:snconk3.jpg] I bought this wonderful instrument from BinkyBass of this parish, and had him send it straight to Jon Shuker, who did a wonderful job of defretting it.He used Purpleheart veneer and maple for the 'cheat' lines. I find a lined fretless confusing and distracting, and wanted as clean a look as possible. It works very well- I use the maple markers generally, but have the option of the 'full' lines as needed. I haven't had the bass for many months, it was an experiment to see if I could unleash my inner Michael Manring. unfortunately, I seem not to actually have one, leashed or not. It was a successful experiment, though, as it has taught me that I really don't need a low B (an E-C 5 string is sufficient). So that's why I'm selling it. It is in immaculate condition, but for one thing. In transit between Jon Shuker and me, it must have had a knock- there are 2 hairline cracks in the lacquer either side of the neck. I've pictured them, they are very small, and are of the lacquer only, NOT the wood. Playability totally unaffected. So- wine red 'cellophane' finish swamp ash body with flame maple top Purpleheart and wenge neck (2 octaves) Bartolini Humbuckers/2 band preamp La Bella hard rockin steels (B-C) and custom Newtone high F. All new It plays just wonderfully, the neck is sublime, very tactile and organic. It absolutely sings- the board does not feel like a defret job, but like it was made that way. The pictures are Jon's, and they do it justice. The only trades I'm after are an Ebow, and a Ditto x4 looper. Otherwise, just sale only. £700 delivered to your door in the UK. I will consider sending abroad, but the postage would increase the cost. Happy to answer questions where I've forgotten details. Thanks for reading.

    Sold my Rikkers fretless to Ignacio. Good communication, quick payment,and good follow up. I would recommend him happily as a buyer. Cheers, Ignacio!

    The topic title says it all, really. I wanted a single high "F" for my Conklin GT7. Asked advice here on where to find one- emailed Newtone Wed morning ( on your recommendation), and Friday morning it's delivered! Several emails, manufactured, posted, all in 72hrs. That's what I call service

    Thanks chaps, that's the reassurance I wanted

    What a gentleman!

    I'm just about to pay the deposit on a custom Marusczyck, and Adrian has requested a bank transfer to his own account. I know I'm being slightly paranoid, but is that how you other M. users have paid? It just seems very slightly less than 'German'. I was expecting a payment webpage and all that jazz. Any reassurance will be gratefully received...

    Any chance of a photo of the back? And how does the neck profile compare with the L2000 ( my favourite profile)? Cheers

    Thank you guys, that's perfect! Much appreciated

    Does anybody know of a pedal dedicated to mids? I seem to remember reading a BGM article about a Nathan East pedal, but can't remember details. A quick trawl through t'internet has not revealed any bass oriented mids only pedal. Is it a hopeless quest?
  14. Sambrook
    Thanks for that. I was hoping to just buy a single F, as the rest are new on...

    My defretted Conklin GT7 has a plain steel F string that sounds slightly out of kilter with the other strings. Does any body know where I can find a single, wound, high F? (Bass Direct are out of stock of Ken Smith single F's) Thanks in advance, good people

    Interesting looking bass- any pictures of the fretless neck? And neck dimensions? Cheers

    Can you tell us what the controls do? How much tone shaping is there on the piezo?
  21. Sambrook
    Still for sale, although I'm enjoying it very much. Neck pickup in series blended with the back pickup in singlecoil is particularly fine
  22. Sambrook
    Likewise, John, thanks

    I traded this bass to Marinus, and can vouch for how great it is. If not for me going all fretless, I would have it still. I was particularly impressed with the preamp/pickup combination
  25. Sambrook
    Thanks Marinus. I'll return the favour with the W&T
