    NBD: Maruszczyk Elwood Fretless

    Hello TB! I had this bass made for me and i have had it for a couple of weeks. I must say, I love this bass! I never had a fretless, but wanted one almost since I started playing bass, in 1999. Now, I thought that it was time to buy a new toy for me and I don't regret it a little bit. It plays...

    What bridge to get?

    I'm in the process of (virtually) putting together my new future Jake, and I'm slightly confused about what bridge to get. Maruszczyk have an online configurator, which is insanely useful. They have various types of bridges, some at no extra cost and a bunch of Hipshot ones at extra cost. There...

    Sell unique instrument if not in use?

    As some of you may know, I own a Maruszczyk Jake 6 which was made to order for me. There should still be a few pics of it in some Show Your Basses thread if you search for my username + Maruszczyk or something (unless I spelt it wrong back then, which is likely...). To start from the beginning...

    Maruszczyk Jazzus

    yep, now they’ve done it...they built my dream bass...again... I had this idea lingering in my brain for a few months now...to build a bass very similar to this. But I would use a ‘51 P slab body, body binding, two MM pickups in the same position as an L2500, 3-position switches for each...

    Anyone here own (or tried) a Maruszczyk?

    I'm SUPER interested in one. I live in the sac area and they have them at a San Jose store, but that's crap traffic (if you know what I mean) So, just curious, seems that the Elwood's are a little TGTBT considering a good price point (well, other than the "europe" which I cannot afford)...

    NBD - Maruszczyk Frog 5 Headless

    So, as the title says, I have received my new build from Maruszczyk. It arrived after waiting about 6 weeks longer than I was initially told, well worth the wait, though! The nut is extra wide (50mm) and it plays like butter and I love the looks of it! Matte black alder body and birdseye...

    Maruszczyk Elwood X 5A-24 vs Bass Mods K534 vs EBMM SR5 HH

    So I've narrowed it down to these three, I think... The Bass Mods happens to be in my favorite color, has Delano pickups, USA made (apparently some are made in korea), and possibly a J Retro Deluxe preamp - also is the least expensive. The EBMM is white with gold hardware... super sexy. The...
