Thanks for sharing. I ordered the bass 18 months ago, but after FedEx lost the package, Adrian had to make me another one so I had to wait about 8 months after placing my order and didn't end up receiving my bass until 12 months ago. The 2nd bass came from Germany to UK and only took several...

Thanks for sharing. I think that mine must have slipped the quality control net due to how long I was waiting after FedEx lost the first one that was shipped out to me. I believe your approach is the best option and I will make sure that my luthier checks over any future purchases as soon as I...

As detailed, the issue required far more than truss rod adjustment

I've been overun with work for the past 12 months and haven't had much time to focus on playing music - I'm self-employed and run my own business, so I've had to prioritise work commitments. My bass was delivered just over a year ago and I ordered it with a 3-piece roasted hard rock maple neck...

Hi all, So I was very happy with my Maruszczyk bass when it arrived and it looks and sounds stunning. However, the action was very high and I decided to arrange for a luthier to check it over and do a full set up with new strings (I'm not yet that that proficient in such matters). It turns...

Did you have to put in a special request for it, as I haven't seen it available in the configurator & what was the cost?

That is one gorgeous bass. What top is that?

That is one sleek, sexy bass! How do you find the sound from the Delano Xtender P/J configuration? I'm considering this exact pickup configuration for my next Maruszczyk bass (it looks like you went for the Xtender humbucker for the bridge pickup with the mini switch for serial/single...

That's a beautiful bass

Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can get for it. Bass Direct in UK suggested £1500, but said that I could try for a bit more. However, Bass Direct's commission of £300 is definitely too much. I can list it on Basschat Classifieds for an annual subscription of £20, which would mean that I...

Great, thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it.

I'm planning to order a new Paddock from Adrian. However, I need to sell my Jazzus first, which I received just over 6 months ago and is in mint condition. I had a number of extras added to the bass, which means that the total cost of the bass with VAT came to about £2300. I'm in UK and...

I went with 2 single coil Delano JC 5 HE/M2 pickups for my Jazzus with the same preamp - NOLL TCM 4 XM (B2086). The only difference being, that I went for an extra pot for passive tone control. The sound is extremely versatile and capable of vintage warmth, which is exactly what I was after...

I placed an order with Adrian in April 2021 and it was shipped to me in the UK in September using FedEx. The tracking showed the bass leaving Germany within 48 hours, but never updated after that and didn't show up at FedEx UK. After 6 weeks of both Adrian and I constantly chasing FedEx with...

LMAO - & unfortunately, some mental images can't be unthunk!
