    P-bass Bias

    Right now I'm not doing so much "real" bass playing but if/when I get back into it, it will be the day I get a solid 5 string single pickup precision. The sound really does just do what it has to, whether live or in the studio. I already know I'd end up buying two though 🤦‍♂️ one for flats and...

    Gibson Thunderbird Discontinued???

    The reverse thunderbird is one of those basses that just doesn't serve me sound wise for what I do, and nor does the look work for what I do, but I absolutely love to look at them. Beautiful basses. I wonder many other people are in the same boat, not wanting to drop that kind of cash for one...

    What is your current recording rig?

    The latest generation Scarlett stuff is sounding much better, but the Clarett+ does have better preamps and, most importantly for those who are doing heavy lifting which mixing and production, the output sounds significantly better - I believe this is a combination of better conversion and and...

    Show your video! --You on Youtube Part 3

    Here is a video from my main gig these days: Mery and I write songs for just bass guitar and voice and then seek to dress them up in a modest amount of pop production. We hope you'll enjoy it

    The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

    Good choice! I can't remember how long mine too, but whatever it was that Adrian said is what it ended up being. The instrument turned out wonderfully. To this day, it still gives me butterflies when I take it out of the case, just as much as the day they put it in my hands! As for options that...

    Wing Rack and Wing Compact

    Nah, will be sticking with the M32C and DL32 or DL16. We use one for our IEM setup and the extra features of the Wing software just aren't necessary.

    So here's a niche question! (Flatwound 6 string related)

    I have Dunlop flats on my 6 string fretless and they have pretty reasonable tension at 35" scale. I also like the fact that with the tone wide open they can sound slightly more modern than other flats, yet when rolling the top end off they do get thick and motown sounding.

    The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

    Hey everyone, so how does this work these days, is there still a club numbering system? If so, sign me up! I picked up my bass at the end of October last year and it's a dream. Here are some live studio performance videos in which I used the bass: I literally never even consider the idea of...
