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...
Maruszczyk L5a custom
This bass is the most well crafted bass i have ever touched. From the perfect fret work to the inset knobs. ANY sound you want. Super fast and comfortable neck, high end electronics and very light. Did i mention gorgeous.

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...
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...
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...
Here it is. A beautiful custom Frog 5 string in ash with padouk fingerboard and padouk encased pickups. A real looker and a dream to play.
The ash body is ergonomic and gorgeous with the open grain. It's obvious it was designed by a bass player for a bass player. Excellent balance and feel...

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)...
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...
I am seriously gassing for one of these and was curious to know if anyone has any experience with these instruments.
Before I get chewed out, please note that I used the search function and turned up zero results, which was strange
.
Heard a demo of the bass and I was blown away. And it...
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.

Hello fellow tbers,
I am getting a new bass this week.
I just found out about bass_direct and their good reputation.
I am looking for exotic (more or less) tops and narrowed down to 3 basses.
I also really have no experience with an active bass, so I need you to help me pick one.
I play Jazz...
Hey TB,
I've decided I'm going to pull the trigger on a custom build on a Maruszczyk Elwood. I've been in the market for a modern jazz style instrument with an active three band EQ for a while and I think I've finally hit the jackpot for the price point and customization that I want. Here's...

The Sadowsky pickup/preamp combo simply sounds really nice. The channel has a lot of demos with different preamps and pickups but this one really stands out, at least to my ears...

Hey guys,
Fender or Maruszczyk?
More customization options for an acceptable price with the Maruszczyk, but does it sound as good as a Fender Jazz?
Thanks in advance!
If anybody here on TB has experience with either of these 2 basses or manufacturers, can you give me some feedback on whether they are actually as awesome as they sound on the Youtube videos that are posted?
It's virtually impossible to find a retailer to try one out here in the NYC Metro area...

I am looking into replacing my current Jazz Bass with something of higher quality, and as I am a great fan of short scale instruments, I have been investigating 30" scale J bass options (which are not many).
I am really interested in the Maruszczyk Elwood, which seems to be a lot of bass for...
This beauty arrived last Friday, a treat from the shop of Adrian Maruszczyk. It's an Elwood L Fretless 4 string, Alder chambered body with a flame maple top and matching headstock. Bolt on maple neck, 1 1/2" width and a 9 1/2" radius, with a rosewood board with fret lines and a 33" scale. The...
Maruszczyk Elwood Europe 5 string, buckeye burl top wood, alder body, Haeussel single coil pickups, Delano Sonar 2-band pre amp, sweet sweet sound :)
Not my own photo, because I don't have gear to make proper photos.
Hey fellas,
the day has come, my custom ordered bass has finally arrived after about 12 weeks of waiting, which is not really much taking into account that big(ger) companies will make you wait much much longer.
It is a jazz bass from Maruszczyk, the model is Elwood Europe.
Here are some...
Actually NBD was about a week ago. But here is my new Maruszczyk Frog Omega 5a Custom!
It's a fully custom build exactly how I wanted it. And boy do I mean exactly.
Specs:
Alder body with flame maple top
Trans Blue color
3 piece set-in maple neck
Ebony fretboard
Delano SBC humbuckers...
For Sale/Feeler: I am thinking of selling my recently bought Elwood L5a 24.
It is a very lightweight bass with an enormous variety of sounds but I can not get the feeling with it that I have with my recently bought Spector bass.
The inlay decals can be taken off easily.
If you like to have a...

TBers,
In the market for a new jazz bass. My budget is $2K or under (prefer WAY less). I normally like 24 fret 5-string lightweight chambered basses, but I really just want a pure jazz bass sound. I'm a huge Sadowsky and Kinal fan and have an NYC as well as two custom Kinal's, but none have...

Other deal fell through, so I am re-listing this.
Firstly, the only reason I am selling/trading this is that I don't play 5's. It is an amazing instrument that I got in a trade deal for some other stuff. Lowest action that can be. Flat radius. Awesome satin blue finish with a flame maple top...
