It's a great feature that we can just put forum users who can't live up to the unrealistic expectations of them on mute.

No it's not, it's a terrible point to diminish people's experiences because they don't fit your view of the builder.

It really doesn't though. People are paying the same amount of money for an inferior product. Why on earth would their reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt? Why would their experience be worth less than the positive ones? You can't just shove aside negative experiences because of some...

Are you suggesting I'm never happy with anything after I just listed a number of issues with my bass that are objectively not in order?

Imo the quality is okay for the price, but there is plenty that isn't good or great. The block inlays are a bit messy. The binding looks cheap and isn't always perfectly glued it seems and uneven. I have one fret that constantly buzzes no matter what I change in the setup. The pickups were...

My lord, what a beauty!

Does anyone have an idea which of the pickup options Maruszczyk offers has the most similarity to a 60s Fender Jazz bass sound?

Sure! This is the configurator pic, after finetuning it for months before finally pulling the trigger (you know how it goes): And this is the couch pic: I'm not saying it isn't a beautiful bass in its own right, just not what I expected. Especially since the comparisons they do of...

I unfortunately agree. My bass didn't look anything like the configurator when "done". The neck and fingerboard were way off. After saying so Adrian said I should have specifically requested a certain darkness. That's what the configurator is for though right? And later he said there aren't many...

Beautiful. It looks so much like the one that Adrian is building for me, so great taste :)

Thanks! Yes it's a passive bass :) How long have you've had yours?

Hi all, long time lurker here. I ordered my first Maru bass today, I can't wait for the couch pic. This is the configurator version: Edit: it's an Elwood L, 34", matte vista green metallic, roasted flamed maple neck and fingerboard, Nordstrand warm&wooly pickups, and a cream binding.
