Mattpt85 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Here's my Custom Elwood Absolution, haven't had a chance to plug in and play yet but will do so tonight and update this tomorrow. Some pics and a video from Adrian for now https://youtu.be/98DGvbJZglA Quote
SICbass Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Niiiiice, and Adrian, as we all know, is no slouch on the old lownoteaphone. Quote
Fisheth Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Stunning! It's making me want to order another one tomorrow! Haha! Quote
cana.dan Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Amazing. Lovely flame maple neck. Great finish. Bet it sounds fantastic! Quote
cocco Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Gob smacked. What a beauty. I should get mine tomorrow, all being well. Quote
Guinness21 Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I don't know why but I'm surprised to see so many Maurszczyk basses about on here. Still think this is one of the prettiest basses I've ever seen, never seen anything else like it. May well commission a bass of my own some day, I can at least dream... Quote
AREA Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Congrats to your new Bass. Stunning. A real Beauty and I bet it sounds awesome. Edited February 18, 2016 by AREA Quote
Davebassics Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Looks fantastic. How does that pickup configuration work for you? It's high on my list to try out. I'd imagine there is an great deal of versatility when soloing each pickup. How do they work together? Quote
Mattpt85 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks for your kind words people! As usual it's much better looking in real life. Extremely happy with it, had a little play last night but only at quiet volume it was getting late, I mainly held it and cried The neck is perfect. Going to give it a proper blast with the band on Sunday, can't wait. Dave even though I couldn't play loud there was a great deal of versatility, each one solo'd sounds like it should do, but together they sound great too, powerful and smooth. Really bright and clear overall but waiting till Sunday to get a proper impression. I see you're in Huddersfield, I live in Milnsbridge, welcome to come try it out for yourself! Planning to have a louder run through on Saturday afternoon. Same goes for anyone else, message me if you want to have a go! Quote
keefbaker Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I've only just ordered one and I want to order another... God flipping damn it. I've got enough to go to the bass guitar show and come home with a fretless, if there's nothing there that rips my face off I might wait until this arrives and order a second one. Quote
aldude Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I'm loving the look of these [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maruszczyk Elwood jazzalikes. There seem to be so many different and wonderous ones available, that I fall in love with a different one every day.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]What's the wait time on these things once a custom order is placed?[/font][/color] Quote
keefbaker Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Looks like between 12 and 16 weeks from what i can gather. I'm a week in so far. Quote
keefbaker Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Also I didn't mention... loving that cutaway on the back for the top frets. Quote

[/quote] Yeah that's inspired, never had such easy access to 21st fret before, may actually find an excuse to use it Quote
Mattpt85 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Something is telling me to try flats on this, I've never really used them before, anyone have any recommendations for a flats newbie? Quote
Muzz Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Looks like lovely workmanship - I just wish I liked a single shape they make: sadly, I don't like Fender lookalikeys, and the others (singlecuts and the..Frog, is it?) don't appeal either. Congrats, and enjoy! Quote

[/quote] Many People prefer the Thomastik Jazz Flats or LaBella Flatwounds, but I am a Flat Newbie too. I've tried the D'Addario Chromes, but they are a bit stiff and have lots of Tension. Anyway. Soundwise they were good. Quote

[/quote] I use Chrome flats on my Elwood. They are brighter than most flats so you retain a little more edge to still cut through a band mix. Quote

The sound is really bright anyway so I think it can stand it and have a sneaking suspicion it will work really well Quote
