jrixn1 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Maruszczyk Jake - a stunning and versatile passive five-string bass. £1050 (sale only, sorry no trades) Body: chambered alder with flamed maple top and back Neck: 21-fret (plus zero fret) hard rock flamed maple with rosewood fingerboard, blocks, and vintage white binding Scale length: 34" Headstock: originally matching, it was subsequently refinished by JP Guitars, Bristol. Nut width: 45mm Tuners: Hipshot USA Ultralites Pickups: Delano PC 5 AL/M2 (neck) and JC 5 AL (bridge) Controls: Volume, volume, tone; push-pull on the tone for both pickups in series. Bridge: Gotoh 205B-5, 18m spacing Strings: Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt flatwounds 45-130, new in September 2022. Weight: 3.585kg, and perfectly balanced - a real pleasure to play. I've looked after it well during its time with me. It came to me with a few slightly uneven frets, which were levelled and dressed by Phil Jones (bristolguitartech.com). It also arrived with stripped neck screws; these have been replaced. Truss rod works correctly in both directions. N.B. Maruszczyk truss rods are clockwise to loosen and anti-clockwise to tighten (i.e. against convention). There are a couple of small marks on the body, one of which has been painted over (see photos). Comes with a Gear4Music foam case in good condition. UK postage included in price. I'm also happy to travel up to say 100 miles from Bristol for a handover in person.
