dannybuoy Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1452268626' post='2948332'] I don't know if you guys have seen this vid (it seems new). It features a Frog with an ACG/East filter preamp with familiar looking pickups. In fact the general look of the area of the bass shown in the vid is very familiar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh2asjr2k8c [/quote] Look a lot like Wal pickups to me, anyone have any idea if they are similar?

[/quote] Not really close according to that video... They certainly look the part, but the sound is very clean. Sounds to my ears more like it has a set of Barts in it than anything approaching Wal pickups. Quote
Musicman20 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hmmm....the amount of times I think about asking Overwater or Shuker to make me a really slick P bass, possibly even a 5er, I come back to these.... Quote

[/quote] Yup, if the Wal pickups were easy to copy, there'd be a lot of them on the market by now. The closest from what I can make out are the ACG MC ones, but they're not exactly cheap and rightly so. Eude Quote

spyder Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I've just picked up a Maruszczyk Bass Tank amp and I'm very impressed . Has anyone else used a Maruszczyk amp ? http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/amplification/maruszczyk-instruments/971-basstank-black Also would like to try his speaker cabs at some point.

colleya Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Oh dear, I appear to have killed the thread. Best try to revive it with some pics. Afraid I can't compete on the sofa front though. And while I'm here, does anyone know what gauge allen key you need to adjust the bridge? My smallest is too small and the next one up too big in both metric and imperial.

ezbass Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Well, you know what we always say, no pics, never happened. But now that has been rectified - oh my! Dribble, dribble, hubba, hubba! Those blocks just make it pukka. Quote

pierreganseman Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 that's a very sexy bass ! i'm still impressed every time I see one of their basses ..... such quality for stupid money.... Quote

AREA Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Ha, next Week, I'll visit my "Friend" Adrian in his Showroom in Aldenhoven. It is about 35km from my Home and ist's always fun to talk, and maybe jam with Adrian. We have a Coffee together and talk about Basses, Musik and everything. He really such a gentle Person. So many great Basses in his Showroom. It is always hard, to leave him, without a new Bass. Lets see, if i can do it this Time..... Quote

spyder Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Thought I would write a little piece on Maruszczyk amps. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWS0Y3sPg2U"]https://www.youtube....h?v=rWS0Y3sPg2U[/url] The link shows a quick video of the features of this two channel amp in its combo form but you will get the idea of the features. I've been using Adrian's basses for a few years now and haven't really found an amp that I like. They are either to dirty and rough or detailed and sterile. Having recently sold my Tone hammer 350 after using a Taurus amp I thought I would give the Bass Tank a try. Even though it has two channels I will only use the Electric input as I don't play acoustic bass... yet. Currently I'm using it with a sh*tty Maplin speaker for home rehearsals and whatever the studio / rehearsal room has when I'm out of the house. [attachment=211849:DSCF0828.JPG] [attachment=211850:DSCF0829.JPG] [attachment=211851:DSCF0832.JPG] It's an amazing amp with very flexible EQ ( I don't really use much ) and has a warm but detailed sound that I'm really liking. Adrian does not give any specs on his web site for the EQ points. At first this worried me but I soon just dialed in what I found pleasing to the ear and it was really that simple. I stopped worrying whether I needed a 200 hz cut or boost or will the 1khz range be to cutting. I just twiddled with my knobs ( oh ). They are very subtle and musical sounding. Can't even tell you if its class B or a Class D amp or whether it has a linear or switch mode power supply. Can tell you its 7kg and 400 watts into 4ohms..... Now I would love to get my hands on one of his speaker cabs. Quote
