thebassist Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) This Maruszczyk “Jazznik” 6 I commissioned arrived with me today. A terrific instrument, it’s really just as good as a lot of the Fodera 6s I’ve owned. Edited June 10, 2023 by thebassist 14 1 Quote
eude Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Congratulations, that is lovely! Why are you calling it a "Jazznik" rather than Sputnik by the way? Eude Quote
thebassist Posted June 8, 2023 Author Posted June 8, 2023 It’s got the Jazzus headstock and the Sputnik body. It was either the Jazznik or Sputus 5 Quote
velvetkevorkian Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Very nice, much more balanced body shape than most Foderas imho. 1 Quote

asingardenof Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Very nice! I'm not normally a fan of that style of single cut bass but that actually looks lovely. Quote
thebassist Posted June 12, 2023 Author Posted June 12, 2023 Hi @eude - I've had a few days with the bass now and it really is brilliant. I wanted the advantages of neck-through while trying to get as close to the sound of a bolt-on as possible hence the wood selections and pickup positioning - I think it is as close as I could have gotten it.
