leschirons Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I took this in as a PX trade. A Maruszczyk Elwood 5a. Wasn't even sure if I was going to keep it but I was interested in the pickup config as I sort of missed my Ray but also tended to use a Jazz on the neck PU 90% of the time. I know nothing about these basses other than what I see mentioned on here. If I'm honest, I'm mighty impressed. Can't fault the craftmanship and finish. Neck is a little chunkier than I like but I'll get used to it. So yesterday, I gave it a bit of an outing with a couple of muso mates as I'd only tinkled around with "at home" volumes. Don't know why I didn't try these before now. It has the tone I've been looking for for ages now. I'm sure I've owned other basses that would have achieved it too but I had no idea how to find it. This was sort of "plug & play" if you like. I'm hooked. It's a keeper. Seems to deliver everything I need from a bass. Edited October 11, 2022 by leschirons Spelling 22 Quote
msb Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Congratulations , finding that sound is quite the trip , oddly enough it was a Dano Longhorn that got me . Gorgeous looking bass too … bonus ! I still can’t decide if my Dano is cool as heck or butt ugly. Edited October 11, 2022 by msb Quote

abar121 Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Wow, never knew these existed. I love my Ray and also the Jazz on the neck. Stunning. 1 Quote
