    The Atelier Z Bass Owners Club

    They have different neck profiles and I don't think the Marcus clone has a passive tone. I'm not sure if there are any other differences.

    Just ordered this Japanese-made G&L L2000. What do I have here?

    I've had three G&Ls, a USA SB-2 that I still own, a USA L-2000 and a Korean Tribute. Aside from the cheap pots and the weirdly easy to rust screws, the Korean tribute was a perfectly fine bass. I swapped the screws before I sold it and I just heard from that guy that he's still playing it. I...

    Just ordered this Japanese-made G&L L2000. What do I have here?

    The Japanese Tributes are basically just as good as any US G&L, imo. I think they can be a really great deal because not many people know about them and sell for standard "Tribute" prices. Japan often has on-shore licensed instruments because it's very expensive to import. This allows them to...

    The Atelier Z Bass Owners Club

    Aspiring Atelier Z owner here, going through some planning stages of a possible order. I had the opportunity to try these and several other high end Japanese brands several years ago and the Atelier Z has just stuck in my mind and I'm getting close to pulling the trigger. Anyways, I'm hoping...

    Jeff Berlin Bass Mastery

    I bought the first package when it first came out. So early that I think the videos were still being made. Eventually I got sent a Vimeo link to the videos, which I downloaded and placed somewhere that I will probably never remember. For whatever it's worth, assuming the videos haven't changed...

    The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

    Mine is very well-made. Better than any Fender in the same price range and, imo, higher quality parts all around. The Skylines are nice basses, but I don't think they hold up to Maruszczyk. They also just don't have the finish or build options.

    The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

    Do you have an Elwood C to compare it with? My first order was a pretty straightforward configurator order with a couple upgrade requests in the notes. If I order again I'll have to talk with Adrian and get the scoop on how best to order. I love my bass, but if I could change one thing it...

    The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

    I asked the same question on the facebook group before ordering my Elwood. I got photos from members. The access is FAR better than the configurator indicates. But, I will say that it's not as good as my other 24 fret basses. I got an Elwood C, so I can't compare this to the Jake. Some of...

    What’s the Unicorn in your pedal collection?

    Noah'sark Gachaxx F Chopper KOGA overdrive/envelope filter. 100 of these were made and sold out the same week they were released. I spent a long time searching for one, found it, then managed to get her to sign it. Well, I did get her to sign her signature bass as well.

    eBay $20 or less new Bass purchase status poll

    If he/she clicked the shipping notification in eBay, they should have access to some level of shipping details. Maybe there are a lot of emails, that's a fair point, but to say they just don't know where it might be is unrealistic if they are able to estimate that it's arriving within days or...

    eBay $20 or less new Bass purchase status poll

    Robhe is the only seller still around that sold the $18 basses, as far as I know. No one should be waiting it out to see if they need to request a refund from the guy who had his account suspended.

    eBay $20 or less new Bass purchase status poll

    No reply from my seller regarding when he/she will give me a tracking number for the bass that's supposed to deliver sometime today through next weekend. I guess it's looking more and more like refund time ;)

    Possible flight case option: Pelican V800

    That was a deal, I always look at the warehouse deals! Let us know how you like traveling with it. So far mine has been good, but only made a couple trips.

    eBay $20 or less new Bass purchase status poll

    I like tinkering with basses. I also keep talking myself out of buying a fretless and if this shows up, it's cheaper than renting one for a day.
