Mike2tone Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Pictures!!! Mine should be here on Monday. I had Adrian change the bridge so it took a bit longer. Quote
NancyJohnson Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I've just revisited this thread. Interesting observation on the [i]guerilla marketing[/i] front is that the OP has pretty much disappeared...his last post to BC was mid-February. Job done on his part, eh? Heh.

Lw. Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 The thread has certainly taken a turn for the better - I'd much rather hear from happy users than a dealer. Much better for the brand too. Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 [quote name='spyder' timestamp='1427719899' post='2733379'] My two.... a Jake and an Elwood in fiesta red. Enjoy. [attachment=187873:DSCF0530.JPG] [attachment=187874:DSCF0531.JPG] [/quote] Yum! From what I can make out, the P pups on Jakes are a shade further from the bridge than what Leo settled on. In your opinion, does that change anything tonally? Or is it still classic 'P'? Quote
spyder Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I put in a set of dimarzios with a serial / parallel switch and the sound is classic P with a huge sound. Quote

spyder Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I bought from stock..... only a three day wait. Ha ha. I'm sure time will fly by, just think of your new toy and the fun you will have. Quote
Mike2tone Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Well mine arrived yesterday and I cannot put it down. Well balanced and a very comfortable neck (More comfortable then my Jabba Custom). The preamp is very clean (does not get muddy) and very precise, not too bright but definitely modern. The humbucker almost acts as a ramp which takes a bit to get used to it, but sound wise it is a Music Man style and it nails it. The Series/SC/Parallel switch produces some interesting sounds. I'm yet to get used to it but found some sweet spots on active an passive mode which got me very impressed. I play anything form Latin to Reggae and Fusion (badly!!) and so far all bases covered. Very happy man. Quote

Worth the money and very good quality. Quote
Markolinni Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 And here is my frog I simply love it! [url=http://postimg.org/image/57708tlkt/][/url] [url=http://postimg.org/image/jkyydoozx/][/url] Quote
ikay Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Excuse the probably dumb question but is the Mensinger Cazpar also made by Adrian Maruszczyk or is that something entirely different? Also, there doesn't seem to be any indication of scale length against any of the Maruszczyk basses listed on Public Peace (or any others for that matter). Are they all 34" as standard or are any of them shorter scale (like the Cazpar)? Quote
such Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Mensinger is another brand made in the same factory. It's had different owners throughout the year (I've had a couple of their basses in the past, branded Mensfeld and MEG), now they seem to make Mensinger and Maruszczyk. I don't know what Adrian's part in Mensinger is, if any (he does sell them in Public Peace though). Quote
wateroftyne Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I've just had my first in-the-flesh dalliance with a Maruszczyk Jake. It was someone else's 'cos mine isn't here yet. Goodness me... what a beauty. It screams quality. Can't wait for mine to land... Quote
cana.dan Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Interested in these but is it me or is their version of Fiesta Red a lot darker and metallic than Fender's? Quote
wateroftyne Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 The one I played yesterday was Fiesta red. Definitely not metallic, and maybe a shade less 'pink' than you would expect from Fender, but still identifiably Fiesta red as opposed to the other reds. Quote
cana.dan Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I really want a Pino clone and want it to be pretty pink. It's either this guy or Limelight. Not sure who to go with. Quote
wateroftyne Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I doubt you could go wrong with either. I know Maruzyzyk can do relics, but Limelight will get you visually closer if it's a clone you're after. Quote
Matt P Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 these look so nice, does anyone know what the string spacing is for the 5er's? I've seen 19mm as a special, if they can do 17.5-18mm then I think that they might beat limelight for my next bass, 5 sting Jake, sonic blue with matching headstock and a rosewood board. probably just a p-pup and passive. not made my mind up on the scratchplate, mint or torty? att Quote

I was able to specify just about every detail of my incoming Jake. Quote
Markolinni Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 You can especify what string spacing you want. normally is 17 / 18 / 19mm in mass bridge. If you go for mono rail, i guess the minimum is 16mm up to what you want You can especify everything you wan't. from woods, type of construction, neck woods and dimensions/specifications, inlays, hardware, to the simple colour screw. You imaginations and your wallet wil be the limit For example, my frog is all costumized by me, to the electronic, woods, neck dimensions and specicifications, strins spacing, inlays, and even the desirable total weight Quote
