Trades considered - £850 - Maruzsczyk Elwood L5 P - 4.1 kg - *SOLD* £1000 Sale - South Manchester

[colleya]

Final basschat only bargainous price of £850.

 

I also quite fancy a 4 or 5 string jazz type bass, so if you've got something to trade let me know.  Sandberg TT / Vincent Metropol or other lightweight 34" scale type things please. Not after amps/cabs etc thanks.

 

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 strap lock 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.   

Postage available at buyers risk and choice of courier/level of insurance etc. It will be well packed in the gig bag and then boxed.

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:

I'll be in Oxford overnight on Wed 11th December if that's closer to anyone who might want to try the bass out?

Little bump for a price drop, and to add these videos of the bass in action.
