AREA Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I know Adrian Maruszczyk since 2006. He is a great Guy and the Basses are awesome. Yesterday I visited him in his House/Showroom, wich is about 40km from here. I was not alone, as I left him... As you can see: - Elwood 5a - Ash Body - Maple Neck and Fretboard - ABM Hardware - Delano JC5AL Pickups - Glockenklang 2-Bd.

wateroftyne Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 There's a used Oly White P/J [url="http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/jake/4-string"]on the Public Peace / Maruszczyk site[/url] at the mo which looks like a bit of a bargain...

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szGSXQt5xu4[/media] [/quote] That short scale sounds glorious, of course Adrian is a wonderful player which doesnt hurt ... The stock pickups sound great to me, can any Maruszczyk owners tell me if tonally is there much difference between those and the Delanos or Haeussel pickups in a live gig situation? (hard to tell from the video clips)... very tempted to order one of these to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 My Elwood came with Maruszczyk jazz pickups as standard. I found them to be good for the price and on par with Delano single coils. The biggest improvement was changing to Haussel. The bass came alive and sounds like a true high end instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheth Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What are the neck profiles on these like? I'm tempted to order one, cause my Harris is far too heavy for gigs and these have some nice options. How much do the Customs start from? I know what I'm wanting, but it doesn't come stock from the big F and this guy looks like he'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo2 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 From what people have been reporting, you can spec out your ideal neck dimensions and they will do it. You can get your dream spec custom made to order for well under a grand easily, especially now with euro being quite cheap in relation to pound.
