Matt P Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I was going for a fairly standard precision type bass, I'm leaning towards torty for the plate, and probably just dots on the board, something along the lines of a '63 p-bass but as a five string, I think I'm going to have to start saving/selling stuff to get the money together, I've just had to fork out for a new car as the old one fell to bits so it will be a little while before i can pull the trigger on a new bass. we'll need another north east bass bash when your Jake arrives wateroftyne !

warwickhunt Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 [quote name='cana.dan' timestamp='1431513062' post='2772016'] 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] I have the Maruszczyk that WoT tried and it isn't that far off a Pino clone (colour, woods etc) but it has a cream DiMarzio installed with a series/parallel switch! Quote

wateroftyne Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 It's bloody lovey. I couldn't put it down... Quote
cana.dan Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks! Definitely a lot pinker than other pictures I've seen! Quote

wateroftyne Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 While I wait for mine to be delivered (back end of next week, maybe?), Warwickhunt has very kindly lent me his Fiesta Red Classic Jake for my gig tomorrow night, I've just spent most of the evening plunking away on it - I can't put it down. It's absolutely wonderful. I shall report back tomorrow... Quote
wateroftyne Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Here's some pics I've taken of Warwickhunt's Jake. As I mentioned earlier, it's a beaut. The swept-back headstock is a great idea. You don't notice it until you see it in the flesh... Quote
Matt P Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 You guys are not helping with my GAS for a sonic blue p-bass! I think another North east Bass bash might be in order so that we can drool over these basses in person! Matt Quote
warwickhunt Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Michael will probably own 100% of the Maruszczyk basses by the time we organise a bash! Quote
mcnach Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Ah, I just found mine is ready too, so this is coming to daddy McNach next week too Quote
mcnach Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1432817239' post='2785251'] Yes yes yes, but how do you pronounce it??? Si [/quote] A guy in my lab is Polish... so I already know Quote

cana.dan Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Lovely basses lads. Always partial to a natural finish and black hardware. Quote

mcnach Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) a Polish colleague explaining to me how to pronounce this... (the 'y' was some kind of hybrid between i/e, closer to 'e' actually) Edited June 5, 2015 by mcnach Quote
such Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I'm not sure if it was this thread, but someone gave excellent pronunciation advice - if you can say "pushchair", you can pronounce "szcz" in Maruszczyk. Quote
Marvin Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I'm going to write it down and ask my eldest's schoolmate's Dad, he's Polish Back to the bass. I think WoT's new bass looks WAAAAY better than the Lakland and I really like the Lakland. Quote
