[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1502378483' post='3351086'] Keep popping in to look at this... [/quote] ...and I keep picking it up & playing it - not played a bass with rounds for a while, but this one's lovely!

Withdrawn - I'm keeping it!

Thanks for the interest - the bass is now sold. Cheers, B.

Hi - had a few queries about postage. Interparcel / UPS fully insured next day works out at £29.26 & I'd want £500 for the bass in gig bag plus postage costs. Wouldn't want to post it without the gig bag for obvious reasons... Quite fancy hanging on to the gig bag as it's a good one, so I'm offering the bass on it's own for £450 on a cash & collection deal if anyone in the North East fancies a quick sale. Cheers, B.

Bump - edited the original post with new pics & additional info...

Giving this a bump & would be interested in doing a cash / collection deal for £450 without the gig bag if you're near Tyneside - less than half the new price!

Hi - the spare neck is now sold, so I'd be happy to sell the bass with the maple neck for £500 collected (shipping cost extra). Marc - it's a beaut, isn't it!?! B.

Now sold!

Bump!

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1494342158' post='3295141'] This bass just looks great. The colour & finish is just superb [/quote] Thanks Marc! It's a beautiful bass & plays really well too - think I'll miss it when it's gone...

Hi - put the spare neck up for sale separately ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/305276-maruszczyk-medium-scale-jake-neck/"]here[/url]). Would be happy with £650 for bass & neck including postage, but not keen on selling the bass on it's own if the neck doesn't sell first. Cheers, B.

Hi - I have my medium scale Maruszczyk Jake up for sale in the classifieds ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/304228-maruszczyk-medium-scale-jake-4-with-spare-neck/"]here[/url]), but I thought I'd put the neck up separately to see if there's any interest. The neck was commissioned when I ordered my Jake & is really nice, but once the bass arrived I realised I preferred a maple fingerboard so I ordered another one. The specs I ordered it with were: - 32" scale 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). The neck is fitted with Hipshot USA Ultralite tuners & I'll throw them in with the neck. The neck hasn't been any bother & is really great condition, but I've just had it sitting around & it will make a really nice neck for a project. The heel isn't likely to be a direct replacement for a Fender (it is contoured on the Maruszczyk so drilled differently), but isn't too far off at 62mm width. Reluctant sale, but something's come up & I really need to sell something before buying something! I'm looking for around £100 posted, which is a lot less than a new Maruszczyk neck costs! If you're in the North East then we may be able to sort out a face-to-face deal.

A picture of the bass with this neck fitted is on the bass sale thread. Cheers, B.

Priced up next day fully insured UPS / Interparcel shipping & as I'd have to send it as two parcels with the spare neck it came in over £48, which was a bit of a shock! Happy to split this though & do postage deal for an extra £25...

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1493314976' post='3287450'] Have a bump on me - this is a cut-price entry ticket to the wonderful world of Marra ownership (or multiple ownership even!!) [/quote] Thanks Mike! PMs replied to...

Hi - the Hipshot isn't a bad bridge, but didn't feel right to me. I had a Gotoh lying around unused so I fitted it & it made the bass feel a lot more solid. I'd say it gave it a bit more presence too, but it's a very subjective thing...

[b]Price drop - see below![/b] 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, a Jazz-style neck & weighs approx. 3kg (6.6lb) - the lightest Precision I've ever seen! The spec is: - Jake 4p - Chambered, 32" medium scale Body Wood - Alder with lightly flamed maple top and back Neck - Maple with Maple fingerboard, 7.5" radius, 2.64/1.20mm fretwire (medium jumbo), 38mm nut width. White 3mm dots in front, matte finish, Mr. Tee (Telecaster style) headstock, 'C' profile (22mm at first fret, 25mm at twelfth feet) Pickups - Haussel P with passive volume & tone Hardware - Hipshot Ultralite Tuners Colour - Redburst (red with black border) gloss (It was originally built with a different neck with a rosewood board, but I commissioned Adrian to build this maple one that was fitted by Maruszczyk back in Poland - spare neck is sold now). I've also fitted a Gotoh 201 bridge instead of the Hipshot Vintage bridge it was built with & I much prefer the current bridge (you can have the Hipshot bridge if you like, but I wasn't a fan). Home use only, so really good condition - only a few light wear marks.

If you're interested in a postal deal, I'd give me a shout & I'm sure we could work something out... Cheers, B. P.S.
