Details

I hate to do this, as this bass has kind of been my baby and is my forum identity as well, but I'm so rarely needing a 5-string these days. Also my house flooded (and insurance won't cover it) and I need a new garage. :(

Here are the specs:
- 34" scale
- Alder body
- Spalted maple top, wenge veneer
- Set in maple neck with carbon fiber rods, 14" radius, 45 mm nut
- ETS headless hardware, 19 mm bridge spacing
- Delano PC5 AL/M2 split coil, Delano MC 5 AL Humbucker
- Noll TCM 4 XM preamp with switch for series/sc/parallel.
- Natural finish, matte neck finish
- Dunlop strap locks.

The bass has the smoothest and easiest neck I've played to date, and tonally can do a lot. Balances great, easy to set up, and easy to travel with! :D New it'd run you about $2300, shipping and a 4 month wait. Only reason I'm selling is because I got my new 4-string from Maruszczyk and really dig it, and that bass will definitely see more play. It makes me sad to see this guy sit on my wall unplayed! Feel free to PM me with questions. Cheers!

It does, the volume knob is a push/pull active/passive switch. Weight I think is around 9 lbs, but I can weight it for sure later.

Full disclosure, I am a Maruszczyk dealer. If I wasn't, I would pick up this bass in a heartbeat. I have a similar 4 string Headless Frog, that has become a go to 4 string bass. I just love it.

Good luck with your sale. Someone is going to enjoy this bass.

Is the string spacing adjustable at the bridge? I can't tell from the photos if those saddles can be tightened up a bit?

Hey Bart! It is - it has ETS hardware, which looks like this. I have never moved them, but it's basically designed like the Hipshot KickAss Bridge: Headless. Welcome to come jam on it any time! :)

Price drop! And because I've received multiple offers, it's unlikely that trades are on the table. Need a new garage, need to refinish a flooded basement, and I certainly could use less gear. :D
