    Hey thanks for the quick responses. I was always planning on a maruszcyk custom job but after playing those Ibby's yesterday I'm not so sure.

    Price or trade value £1200. Up for sale is my lovely 4 string Shuker. The photo's don't do it justice so I'll try and take some better pics in better light. The body wood is zebrano with walnut facings front and back, It's a 5 piece through neck made of wenge and paduak and the finger board is made of, I think, African Ebony. It has side dots. It weighs just under 10bs using the man on a bathroom scale with/without bass method. It has 2 Delano soapbar pups and Jon's own pre-amp. It's a very versatile instrument and can do anything you want, it can sound very powerful and very smooth. The action is real low and it's a joy to play. It's in excellent condition with a couple of very minor dings on the front face which can only be seen if you angle it in the light - I couldn't actually photograph them (although I will try to take better pics for full disclosure), and there is a little scuffing on the tip of the headstock. It comes with a Shuker hardcase. Not sure if I'm up for trades but I do like short scales and Ibanez premiums so you never know.

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1498416652' post='3324427'] Yes, the neck on my elwood is based on measurements of the neck on my SR1605. Its very nice - that was one of the reason (as it shows somewhere on this massive thread) that I went for one, that I could have the neck dimensions that I wanted. [/quote] I thought I'd read that! How accurate a reproduction is it? Does it have the same feel?

    Played a couple of gorgeous Ibanez SR's in Dawsons yesterday - I particularly love their necks; thinnest - and fastest I've ever played. Just wondering, has anyone requested the SR neck dimensions on their Maruszczyk mod? How did it turn out?

    Another fantastic V - love the matching headstock too!
  6. burno70
    Would love this - great price too! No funds though. Have a bump.

    Thanks Grangur - I have a better idea what this means now - although I have no idea what my preference is!

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1493677172' post='3289941'] The radius is the curvature of the fretboard and this is of course determined when the neck is carved. This is not altered during a bass setup [/quote] Yeah, I didn't explain my point well at all. You use the radius in a bass set up to even the string height across the curvature of the fingerboard. But in terms of playing a bass say, what difference does this make?
  9. burno70
    I know what the radius is - in terms of a bass set up. But what does it mean in terms of a new build? Is it just the plane of the fingerboard beneath the strings - if that makes sense? Or is it the thickness of the neck? I'm asking as I do find the stock neck a bit thicker than I'd like (not width).

    [quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1493408664' post='3288209'] Video on Facebook just been put up announcing the configurator goes live on Monday. Credit cards at the ready.... [/quote] Holy sh*t! And if you buy on a credit it card it feels like it's free right?

    That's gorgeous - loving the quilted maple top and red fret lines!
  12. burno70
    Lovely!

    Tried one out in Dawsons Liverpool a few months ago: played and sounded great. Excellent price for a quality short string. I really want one but no funds at the minute.
  14. burno70
    Brill reviews - very informative. Thanks bud.
  15. burno70
    Lovely bass that - wish I could have a go! Well done.

    [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1490051814' post='3261869'] They do look v nice. How's the tone when compared to a normal Fender Jazz? Sounds a bit beefier than a usual J in the demos I've seen but that could just be processing. [/quote] The Marusczczyk stock pick ups sound like a regular jazz pick up to me. Warmer with the neck pick up and Jaco-like with the bridge pups. They sound really nice to me but I've never actually owned a Fender Jazz so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

    [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1490042056' post='3261733'] Does anyone here own a Maruszczyk short scale? I'm interested in the shortie versions of the Elwood and Jake models in particular, wondering about feel / playability / balance etc. [/quote] I got a short scale Elwood just before Christmas and totally love it. It took all my will power not to order another one straight away! It was a stock bass and the workmanship, fit and finish is 10/10. It's light weight, well balanced , looks lovely, and most importantly it's fantastic to play. I will be getting another one but will wait until later on in the year.
  18. burno70
    Wow - that's stunning! Love the black hardware too, perfect match.
  19. burno70
    Lovely - the maple, mother of pearl and black binding on the neck is awesome!

    He tried to repair one of my pedals but found that the maker, Durham Electronics, had covered the circuit with resin. He tried to get at the board but couldn't. Hardly charged me for his efforts and had kept me updated throughout the process. I would always send a pedal to this guy first.

    I'm not keen on relicing per se, I'd rather have my own battle scars on a bass. But man, I love the Flea sig, it's just phwoarr!
  22. burno70
    I tried one of these a couple of months ago in Dawsons. It's a really nice bass and I still intend to buy one! Due to my small mitts I always go for slim necks but with this being a short scale it just doesn't matter - to me at least. I ended up with a short scale bass that was 40mm across the nut (Maruszczyk) - wider than my preference on a full length, but really makes no difference on a short scale at all, with your hand being closer to your body. Hope this helps!

    Being pretty much content with my pedal board for well over a year or 2, I've only recently noticed the price hike - whether it be gradual or otherwise. I've taken to leaving said board in the rehearsal studio and have been toying with the idea of picking up a budget board for home practice use and so have started looking again. Wow! I'm looking at pedals I used to have or I was gassing over a few years ago and the price difference from what I can remember is quite staggering in some cases.

    I've got stock Maruszczyk jazz pups on my Elwood. It took a while to configure my amp to bring out the best in them but I've got them sounding really lovely now. I'd still like something different for my next build though - just for variety's sake.

    [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1486068255' post='3229050'] Yeah, but they just got this... [url="http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Musicman_SR4_Starry_Night_HH.html"]http://bassdirect.co...y_Night_HH.html[/url] [/quote] Wow - just wow! And I'm not into Musicman basses!
