Conan Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I really like the look of this particular Elwood... although for "Burgundy Mist" it looks a wee bit pink to me. And I'd like it better with a maple fingerboard with pearl blocks... I may well be ordering something similar from Maruszczyk in the next few months (when funds allow) - but their prices are incredible when you look at the specs and quality of the hardware. With the Euro/£ conversion rate being what it is at the moment you can get a bespoke instrument for around the price of a MIM Fender!! Quote
cocco Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I cant wait for mine to turn up now. I reckon I've got about another month to wait Quote
Conan Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1423410823' post='2684445'] I shall probably buy one of these items so that when someone asks me 'What bass is that?' I shall be able to reply 'It's a frog', opening up all sorts of possibilities for comedic misunderstandings, amphibian puns and whatnot. [/quote] Careful! There are lines that need to be toad here...

Fisheth Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Gonna be sending Adrian a FB message in the brief short time. Also WOT are you still selling your white Jake? Quote

It's a great bass I've borrowed it from Michael and used it at band practice last night. It plays beautifully and sounds wonderful - really rich but also quite growly. Lots of tonal options due to the pickup combination.. The neck is absolutely fantastic too - so playable that it almost feels like a short scale. Highly recommended - and it has clarified my thought processes that I need a Maruszczyk Elwood in my life! Quote
legend142 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 This damn thread! I really, really want this even though I've just purchased a new jazz! - Quote

Got a custom Jake coming soon, heard back from Adrian today, it's getting painted this week and set up next week, here's hoping I can get it shipped before NAMM, if not it'll be the last week of January, early February it looks like before I get it.

[/quote] Yeah - even allowing for the colour not photographing well, that's not even close to the Fender Burgundy Mist is it? Not a bad colour in itself, but not exactly what it says on the tin Quote

ead Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Is there customs duty / VAT / any other taxes that need to be considered for these basses. Poland are in the EU are they not? Quote

ead Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Damn , even better value. Been eyeing your OW bass up Mr WoT Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 By the way, in anyone in the Tyneside-ish area wants to have a lend of either of mine, you're welcome. Quote
JamesBass Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Michael out of interest, is the bridge pickup a single coil, or hum bucker? I'm interested in getting a 5 string PJ and have heard excellent stuff about these Maruszczyk's, I had been looking for a 5 string with soap bars or dual hum buckers, PJ seems to suit the sound I'm after more though.
