Please don't. I have watched enough Adrian Maruszczyk videos on YouTube to know that these basses come in 1,000 different tonal varieties, and all of them are amazing. I am hoping not to buy any new basses this year, and you are not helping!

...kidding. I'd love to see some more vids of these basses...and your chops! Have you played the Jake with the JPJ pickup configuration? What did you think of it?

How about clearing up this pronunciation question?

Musicfreak have answered this question very well.
m = m
a ... I don't think that sound exists in English. An 'a' in English is a phonetical æ, but in some Slavic and some Germanic languages an 'a' has got a slightly different sound.
r = r
u ~ oo
sz ~ sh
cz ~ tsh, like the 'ch' in the English word 'check'
y like the y in daddy
k = k

I didn't play the Jake with the JPJ pickup configuration, but I played Jazz and precission pickups.
If you choose will reflect your sound pickup, you were very satisfied , workmanship is very fine instruments
But a relative concept sounds. Ifyou choose your pickups and electronic, everything could have been nicer . For example;
If you like 17mm string spacing, Jake has a 17mm string spacing originally. If you don't like the 17mm string spacing, they can produce whatever you want.

If you like 17mm string spacing, Jake has a 17mm string spacing originally.

A P bass of high quality, reasonable price, and narrow string spacing? You are one heck of a good salesperson! I guess I better start filling the piggy bank.

Check this video. He introduces himself around 0:28.



That guy has a real good reputation here. I've ordered strings and other stuff in the past. Great guy to deal with.
Didn't really like the strings though.

A bit better to understand.

It seems to be Polish surname, so:

Strings are very subjective and I'm always trying different brands. I always come back to Elixirs even though I'm not always happy with them , I love the feel. It's interesting about the fretboard radius discussion. Even if you have a completely flat board the string gauges are going to give you some kind of radius regardless by design.

I love the idea of a JPJ configuration. I'm having a J installed on my precision and have really given thought to throw in a neck J pickup. Taking two of the greatest basses and throwing them together sounds like a good Stew (Hamm). Sorry Stu, that just slipped out like bad gas.

I like the idea, too, and I think the Urge I is the best Fender I have played, but I have to admit, the concept has issues. Matching output level between the P and J's is a tricky bit of pickup height adjustment. Also, you can't put all the pickups in the traditional location; either the P or neck J has to be in the "wrong" place. Even so, I like the JPJ configuration.

I think the Maruszczyk implementation of this offsets both the P and the neck J from their traditional location, so purists can argue (with some merit) that it can't quite nail either the P or the J sound.

Edit: I just realized that that headstock is dangerously close to Fender's shape. There probably won't be too many US dealers cropping up anytime soon.

Adrian is originally from Poland. I don't know when he came over to Germany, probably a few decades ago. I know he studied Jazz / bass guitar in the Netherlands.
He speaks German with a strong Polish accent.

Musicfreak1988 and Felixx are generally correct. Additionally, the accent would be on the second syllable: mah-ROOSH-chick. Surprisingly enough, Polish is a remarkably phonetic language; much more so than English, or even German. Of course, my German is pretty weak...

Anyhow, I see one of these basses in my future.

 

[Marsik]

My guess is 'maroosh-chick', more or less.

m = m

I'm from Poland actually. Musicfreak1988 is almost right. We pronounce Maruszczyk as 'ma-ROOSH-chick' with strong 'r', 'sh' and 'tsh'. Only the 'y' sounds like a short 'i' in english (~> give). A phonetic transcription is given below:
