So mine arrived today in case that wasn't obvious ;).
I can post a photo tomorrow, however the picture above from Adrian can't really be beaten!

After an evening with it at home, my instant thoughts are:

- It's light! (7.3lbs) due to the chambered body (costed extra)
- Beautiful finish, the shoreline gold (costed extra) is lovely, and the matching headstock really sets it off.
- quality bridge, nice and solid.
- Hipshot USA tuners (costed extra).
- It's light.
- the neck was slightly more shallow than I anticipated, which is perfect actually. Really fast and smooth neck.
- frets slightly smaller than anticipated, really nice feel.
- the above two points are largely born from my '71 Precision being my benchmark, which is a bit of a chunk.
- really lovely & dark rosewood fingerboard!
- the Haussel pickups sound great through my Markbass practice amp, but the real test is gigs this weekend, I'm confident!
- did I mention it's light?!
- the 'retro' strap that came with it is stunning, hugely happy with that!
- nice gigbag too, simple but effective.

Overall I'm incredibly happy, a 33" Precision bass is ultimately what I wanted, and I have that and more :).
Can't wait to gig it!

Was looking at a Warmoth J build to treat myself in 2016. Having seen the spec of these now, I'm not sure whether it's worth it - these guys seem to be on the money. Just need to have a good look through their website.

I wouldn't go the Warmoth route after I have seen what you can get from Maruszczyk. UNless part of the joy is teh actual build, finishing it etc, of course. Just make sure you measure everything you think matters to you and specify it exactly the way you want it. Beautifully made instruments.

Emailed Adrian at 11:52 asking about options and pricing for a super light Elwood 5.. He emails back at 11:56 with a detailed and informative reply!

Oh dear, I feel I might've been bitten by the latest BC bug. One of these, 4 string, passive, in that blue; oh my!

I was looking at options as well............. and a bitza was an option (Sims) but it is now down to either a Sei build or getting a close look (and play) of one of these.
Decision time is the New Year.

Lovely bass there... Makes waiting for mine harder!

The order form was done on the 14th, will it be from when that went through, or when the payment went through (The following Monday)

Seriously, if he had Paypal or credit card payment options on his website, I'd have at least two of these by now. Spectacularly good basses for the money. :D

Dayum! Love the matched headstock. All the awesome bursts are making me wonder about mine being black. It seems a shame to hide the gorgeous grain they all have.
