colleya Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 (edited) Bought on here a couple of months ago, it's everything I was looking for - lightweight, ebony board, passive, sounds fabulous, looks superb in oly white. But for some reason I'm just not quite gelling with the 35" scale, so my loss will be somebody else's gain. The body is light weight chambered alder, weight is 4.1kg. Pickups are Delano SBC with coil taps and passive v/b/t wiring. Hardware is Maruszczyk's own. Comes with a Maruszczyk gig bag. The bass was originally a 2020 fretless order and has been converted superbly - the fret tangs have been hidden so as not to interfere with the side dots that served as fret position markers. I've added some adhesive dots to the middle of the frets (the bigger dots in the pics) just for my own sanity, but these come off with no trace. I'll also swap my straplock black pins back to the originals. It's in superb condition, I can't see any marks apart from a little light swirling on the pickguard. The neck is a thing of beauty. I've put a fresh set of Newtone strings on that have had maybe 3 - 4 hours play time. I won't be gutted if it doesn't sell. Sound clips (with complimentary dodgy playing) here and here. Trials, tyre kicking, cups of tea/coffee and collection welcome at mine in South Manchester. Trades wise - Sandberg TT5 / Vincent Metropol 5 or other lightweight 34" scale with cash adjustment either way. Not after amps/cabs etc thanks. Standard postage included in the asking price. It will be well packed in the gig bag and then boxed. Edited Monday at 17:14 by colleya 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody great, it does the jazzy/funky thing excellently, and the neck pickup does a pretty decent p impression when you select the coil tap. Thanks for the prompt/excuse to post a couple of rehearsal recordings with my band: Listen to ttfc practice 20241008 - Waterfalls.mp3 by Tea Time Funk Club on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/fPFTr Listen to ttfc practice 20241008 - American Boy.mp3 by Tea Time Funk Club on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/xCAgY Edited November 24 by colleya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleya Posted Monday at 11:16 Author Share Posted Monday at 11:16 I'll be in Oxford overnight on Wed 11th December if that's closer to anyone who might want to try the bass out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
