Hi All - I'm reluctantly putting my beautiful Maruszczyk Jake back up for sale. There's loads on the forum about how great these basses are & this one's no exception. It's a one off medium (32") scale build with a chambered body & weighs approx. 3kg (6.6lb) - probably the lightest Precision ever!
The original spec was: -
Jake 4p - Chambered, 32” medium scale
Body Wood - Alder with lightly flamed maple top and back
Neck - Maple with Rosewood fingerboard, 10” radius, 2.64/1.20mm fretwire (medium jumbo), 40mm nut width. White 3mm dots in front, matte finish, Mr. Tee (Telecaster style) headstock, 'slim C' profile (21mm at first fret, 24mm at twelfth feet)
Pickups - Haussel P with passive volume & tone
Hardware - Hipshot Ultralite Tuners
Colour - Redburst (red with black border) gloss
I had it for a while & decided I wanted a maple neck, so Adrian built one for me. The spec is the same as above, but with a 7.5" radius, the Fender-style Hipshot Ultralites & a 1.5" (38mm) nut width - like an old Jazz Bass. I've also fitted a Gotoh 201 bridge instead of the Hipshot Vintage bridge it was built with & this is a big improvement. Home use only, so really good condition.
The deal is for the bass in a gig bag with both necks & I'll throw in both sets of Hipshot Ultralites. Pics: -

No problem doing more photos if you want some
I also found a video of Adrian playing it to demonstrate the Haussel pickup. It's strung with Status 100s in the video: -

I have since restrung it with Ernie Ball Slinky 45-105s & it sings with rounds on!
Ideally I'm looking for a cash / collection deal (I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne) for £650, which I think is a lot of bass for the price!
Postage may be an option, but will have to send the spare neck separately.
Cheers,
B.
