    [quote name='mazdah' timestamp='1443119217' post='2872451'] I don't own any Taurus gear, but I know their stuff enough to have an opinion. IMHO they are just like Mayones are in bass guitars category. Modern, hi-fi sound with some unique features, that you might or might not like. The sound is clean and solid, VERY punchy, with bright top end and solid lows, a little bit dry. I prefer more "wet" "soft" and "mid-oriented" sounds (Ampeg!) There's nothing wrong with them, but I'd never use them for my P-bass, especially with flatwound strings, whereas I'd have no troble using Tone Hammer, which I find richer and warmer sounding. IMHO they are made for modern and/or heavier music. [/quote] You are right. The description is spot on.

    Where you based?

    I had a combo amp based on a valve preamp design that sounded very good. Had a tight modern punchy sound. Really miss that combo. Looking at the Qube 300 myself. 😀

    I don't understand it either. You don't go into a music store and ask for a 3.5kg P bass do you. I think we are getting obsessed with all things light weight. We should stop obsessing and get on with playing.

    Listened to it this morning with my work colleague. We both agreed that it sounds very much like all his output from the past, expect a few tracks where he was trying to do a different style but fails so badly. We won't be buying it for this reason.

    [quote name='Naetharu' timestamp='1442684311' post='2868782'] Nice! Those Haussel's are lovely if some of the online sound samples are anything to go by. [/quote] I've tried many pickups and the Haussel sound fantastic with the added bonus of Rosewood covers to match the neck.

    Kind of NBD bass. I was going to sell my 6 month old Elwood to fund another project but decided to breath a little new life into the old girl. I've added Rosewood covered Haussel single coil pickups and added a set of 40 -100 chromes. Now its perfect..... enjoy. [attachment=201027:DSCF0570-2.jpg] [attachment=201028:DSCF0568-2.jpg]

    Great looking Maruszczyk.

    Sounds great, I really like the spec. Ten weeks will fly by. At least it's not 18 months like my old Shuker build. I'm now loving my Elwood. Been playing for a good few hours today and loving the sound.

    Pity, I could do with more strings.

    I've decided to keep this great bass and change the pickups to Haussel single coils. The fender Mk1 noiseless pickups will be up for sale soon.
