Hydra19 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Crews Maniac Sound P bass in dark lake placid blue with 'cloudy' lacquer finish. This one has the 5D Power bomb pickup which is highly respected and vintage sounding. Nut width is around 42mm, very comfortable neck, and a vintage style bridge. Weight is 4kg In terms of trades, I would like an Aria Pro II sb1000 or sb900, or would consider a white p bass Edited November 27, 2022 by Hydra19 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 What’s the story with these? Can find much about them. What weight is it? Looks lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra19 Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 The weight is around 4kg, I don't notice any weight difference vs my other P basses. Crews Maniac Sound is a brand originally associated with MusicLand store in Japan, they ordered some guitars and they sold quickly. From what I've read their guitars are made either by Momose (PNG) or Terade factories that also made the Gibson by Orville copies. Anyway, their Les Paul line of guitars is highly respected on the Les Paul forums, and some models, called 5D go for over £3500, so pretty high end. Also they also make their own pickups and one of the builders is the person who built the Dry Z greco pickups that are very expensive used if you can find any. This bass has great specs for the price, 2 piece body, Power Bomb pickup, vintage spiral bridge, nitro finish and gotoh pots. It's currently strung with Rotosound Swing 66's and sound growly and deep. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackopie1 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Hi, Is this still for sale? And if so, what sort of profile/thickness is the neck? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra19 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's still for sale, the neck is a little more round than a Fender PB bass, and feels great. 42mm nut so not too wide either. The neck is a C shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umcoo Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is crazy cheap. Played a few Crew Maniac basses on a trip to Japan a few years back. They're great quality. I'd snap this up if I had some spare cash. Good luck with the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra19 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Thanks, it does seem that Crews are only known by Les Paul fanatics as everyone mentioned they're not familiar with the brand. As far as I know, it was a special order for SoundHouse Music Shop in Japan and that most were made in the Momose factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra19 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Bump, still here, probably will be forever but in case someone is looking for a blue P bass, there's one still here I've also got a new Edwards P bass in Olympic white that I wlll also be selling or trading, but I'll make a new thread title for that.
