    Maru Elwood 5 strings - Nut width problem

    Anybody have an elwood 5 with 48mm nut width ? Just to see the "curve" of the neck who's very important for me (i like the "straight" necks). It's hard to find pictures on internet, all maruszczyk elwood i saw was with a 45mm nut width =(

    Maru Elwood 5 strings - Nut width problem

    thanks ! I agree with the "connique" aspect of the neck which I don't like either, but in my head, 18mm spacing and 45mm at the silet doesn't give a very connique neck, does it? (not like 19mm / 45mm or there, I find it very marked, even visually it shows a lot). Just to know : -18mm spacing...

    Maru Elwood 5 strings - Nut width problem

    Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm not sure concerning the 19mm, i mean, it's very practical cause is the same spacing than a classic 4 strings jazz bass or Pbass. But, after thinking, a 5 strings is made for different things than 4 strings. That's why i'm interesting by the 18mm. I cant...

    Thanks for your reply. Yep a jazz bass 4 strings is nice to me. But i think that the ratio of a jazz bass 4 strings in this case is the 48mm nut width (48/5= 9.6 for 5strings, and 38/4=39.5 for 4 strings).

    Do you eventually have an idea of the string spacing of the Squier Classic vibes 70's ? 18mm or 19mm ? Thanks

    Maru Elwood 5 strings - Nut width problem

    Hi everyone, I am currently finalizing my order at Maruszczyk. An Elwood C 5 strings. The order is almost finalized, it only remains to make the payment but suddenly, I am wondering about the width at the nut. I am very hesitant between 45mm (1,775') and 48mm (1,875') (the two options offered...

    Issue (or not) with my Tech21 VT Bass deluxe

    They have already given me an answer but I am still quite surprised that it is "normal" as it is not practical at all. That's why I ask users if they have the same thing. For example, how to modify a patch to find a sound if the latter is permanently spoiled by this buzz?

    Issue (or not) with my Tech21 VT Bass deluxe

    Hi, I recently acquired a tech 21 VT bass deluxe (v2, with the simulation of CAB buttom). Everything is fine, however I notice a particular noise problem. For example, when you activate a switch with the settings it contains, and you start turning a knob (most generally, the charactère, volume...

    Aging of the varnish

    Thank you very much ! And thats a polyestère finish right ? Anyone have some pictures of the aging effect of a polyester body ? I mean, it's longer but similar to he aging of a nitro body ?

    Aging of the varnish

    ok ok, I imagine all the same that, taking into account the increasingly present environmental standards, petroleum is not used very much, especially on models at this price. Finally, this is just a guess =) For exemple, the pictures i saw before on this post are very reassuring. Their neck are...

    Aging of the varnish

    thank you very much, suddenly if I understand correctly (English is not my native language), the urethane finishes like the one on my handle do not risk taking this very dark yellowish tint? On the other hand, concerning the body, this time it is a polyester finish and not urethane, does it...

    Aging of the varnish

    I totally agree with what you are saying, in fact I am not trying to keep my bass "new", I just know that it is going to age and accompany me for decades. This is exactly why I'm trying to find out what it might look like in the future =) For example, if the neck was going to get really darker...
