Maruszczyk Jake 5p - £775 - *SOLD* £825 Leeds

[castlemaine22]

Hi all, I've seen something for sale that I really want so I'm looking to sell this beautiful Maruszczyk Jake 5p. If it sells, this will be withdrawn.

 

Spec:

• Finished in solid black with BWB 3 ply pickguard (you can see the grain through the paint)
• Swamp ash body
• Bird's eye maple neck and fingerboard with carbon rods in a matte finish
• Luminlay side dots
• Headstock with simple M logo
• Hipshot B style bridge with 17mm spacing
• 34" scale and 45mm at the nut
• Hipshot HB6C 1/2" tuners
• Passive electrics with usual P bass volume and tone
• Domed chrome knobs
• Delano PC5 AL/M2 pickup
• Weighs 3.7kg, just over 8lbs

 

This bass is super light and very well balanced for a 5 string P and sounds very, very as good as it looks!

 

Comes with original certificate and spec sheet and generic Chase hardcase. The bass is in great condition, there is a small scrape on the top of the headstock in the usual position, and there are some pick marks on the pickguard and minor swirls on body as you'd find on a black bass.

 

I replaced the chrome pickguard screws with black ones, but I can change them back if the buyer prefers. Currently strung with flats, but I have a new set of rounds I can put on if wanted instead. There is a 3D printed thumb rest attached by the pickguard screws which can be easily removed if desired.

 

Before I received this bass it was setup at the Bass Gallery, and it pretty much plays itself!

 

Pickup from Leeds is preferable, but I can post within the UK or drive a reasonable distance to meet up.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Love the look of this, simple P bass with a stunning neck! Just out of interest any idea of postage costs? 😁

 Happy to discuss via PM, but usually looking at another £20-30

I've never worked out how Adrian can keep producing these lovely basses at such reasonable prices, especially as he's bassed in Germany.

 

Good luck with your sale - I'm sure it won't be here long.
