AREA Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Hey Guys, Indeed I compared the different Pickups. The Maruszczyk Pickups are very hot. They have more Output then the Delanos, or the Häussels and they have some "Dirt" in their Sound. The Delanos sound more clean and even. More "civilized". The Häussels are mostly buildt in the passive Basses, as they bring out the Passive Tone best. That were my Impressions. All are very good Pickups and it depends what you're after. By the Way: I tested the Basses with an "Arnold" Amp Head. That is a very, very good Amp Head. Edited February 17, 2016 by AREA Quote

I know that's a really strange description, but do they stick out more? Quote
Matt P Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I had stopped looking at this thread as I realy can't justify another bass but now I find myself thinking of a major road trip to visit this shop and bring home a new bass, it's along way but only 3 hours from Amsterdam, which is an easy overnight ferry from Newcastle, as far as road trips go if there were a few people sharing a vehicle then this would be a great bass weekender! north east bass bash on the road perhaps?

This is REALLY useful info, especially about the Marusz 'own brand' pickups, which until today were a complete mystery to me. ... But now I'm gassing for them as well! Argh! Quote
AREA Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 If I get "pokey" right, i would say "No". They sound more "fine" more "noble". If anyone comes to visit Adrian, give me a PM. Maybe we could meet @ Adrians Showroom Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 My Haussel-laden PJ is warm and vintagey, exactly as Adrian said it would be. My Maruszczyk-wearing Oly (which has just been put in a postbox, on its way to its lucky new owner) is hotter and more aggressive. And the bridge humbucker burps like a monster. Quote
Fisheth Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Got the bass right this second. Had a quick play... Safe to say... I'm probably going to get another one! Quote

Sibob Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I would echo this, the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Haeussel Precision pickup in mine is warm and vintagy, very much like my '71 Precision. The Humbucker is hotttttt, but sounds brilliant.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Si[/font][/color] Quote
ezbass Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Oh my word, it's positively raining new Maruszczycs on BC. Congrats to one and all, you lucky lot. As for Adrian's shop, I've never seen so much bass stock! Wow, just wow! Quote

AREA Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 As mentioned, the 18th of June would be a good Date, as there is a big Party with lots of Music, other Bassplayers from all over Europe and Barbecue at Adrians House.... Quote
allighatt0r Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Surely that will mean fighting other people for a go on the sexiest basses? Quote

Fisheth Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Loving the bass guys, but my intonation is off due to it being inside a van. It's one of the Hipshot A style bridges and I can't seem to find a way of changing the intonation? Anyone know how to do this? Quote

[/quote] Yes I'm going to lower it a tiny bit, like you said, and wire in the push/pull for single coil (as mine was hardwired to hb), will help in higher gain settings. Quote
Davebassics Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'd be dead up for going to Germany! Going to get wor lass to do some photoshopping to see what my custom would look like! Thinking 5 String Fretless Jake with MM and P Pickups ... would look great with a jazz body as well but I feel like the MM pickup looks weird so close the the control plate. GAS, GAS, GAS Quote
