Matt P Posted May 13, 2015 Share 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 Share 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!

wateroftyne Posted May 22, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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.

Matt P Posted May 28, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Michael will probably own 100% of the Maruszczyk basses by the time we organise a bash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted June 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted June 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
