Maruszczyk Elwood 4a - shell pink - PRICE DROP!! - *SOLD* £1000 Bristol

[aldude]

Price dropped to £750!

 

For sale, my beautiful Maruszczyk Elwood 4a in shell pink.

 

I don't have a lot of information on this bass I'm afraid, but it was bought second hand in mid-2019 from Bass Direct who was selling it "as new" from someone who had changed their mind.  New it was £1750 as it has various options, though I don't know what they were and the original listing as since been removed.

 

It's a great bass though and the colour is quite something!  It's in great condition with very little to speak of apart from a little bit of wear round the pickups where my thumb presumably goes.  So there's a little light ageing at no extra cost

No trades thanks as I'm going to try and buy back my old bass!  I would rather not post this as I've never posted a bass before, and the thought terrifies me.  So I would prefer a pick up in the Bristol area or deliver/meet within reasonable distance.

Neat

Drax you absolute legend!!!  I guess you are the original commissioner of this bass?  Thanks for the spec list, I would have had no idea!  (Save for what I remember, but my memory is terrible.)

 

And you're right, it plays like a dream, I would definitely keep it if I could, but I am at my limit of the number of basses I'm allowed to own!

No worries - yep was my build and sold thru BD far too soon after receiving.. ! Gigged it a few times and it was an absolute cracker. Sold on to fund a GAS attack.. standard. Glad it's been much loved. Have PM'd you.

Now THAT, I dig!

Some backstory - the bass started life as matte black. I didn't appreciate the default Maruszczyk matte finish is without grain filler, and to me it looked and felt like a 1980's MFI sideboard. Terry Chapman (TJC Guitars) did the excellent refin. He's the reason the M logo is parrallel with the tuners, not the neck

Terrys work is always superb

For those who don't know Terry's work he has repaired a couple of broken headstocks for me - so well you had to look for the repair!

Terry is also a member here - @nosbig

Now that's what I call "Pink". Nice colour

Bump, because this is back up for sale having gone back and used it for another year (and loved it!).  But I am moving towards hanging up my bass gear for good now I'm getting older 👴

[aldude]

Price reduced by £150 to £850 to try and shift it!

[alyctes]

Nnnniiiice!

[zapp]

Superb looking bass.

[Fishfacefour]

Bump as this is still available and I took another £100 off. Grab a bargain!!
