Look what Santa has brought to me :-)

Here i proudly present my new Bass Guitar. Just picked it up by the Builder today. I ordered 4 Weeks ago and Yesterday he mailed me that the Basswork is done.

Tha Manufacturer is Maruszczyk Instruments made by Adrian Maruszczyk a famous European Bass Player that also builds Basses from Player to Player.

Body is selected Ash with transparent White High Polish Finish. The Neck is made of Hard Rock Maple and it´s One Piece with the Headstock. Fretboard is East-Indian Rosewood. Hardware is made by ABM. Pickups are made by Christof Dolf from Bassculture. They are Handwired with Neodym Magnets. They´re called Bladestack Humbucker.
Electronics are passive 2x Volume + 1x Tone. The Craftmanship is amazing. I´m still breathless. I´m a really bad Photograph so Pictures can nly give very small Impressions.

I can´t find any Words to describe the Sound....Amazing, Awesome, Great....don´t fit really. It´s definetly more than I ever expected it´s perfect. There is nothing missing. I wish you could come and try it by yourself....

So take a Look... (Bad Fotos)

That is simply fantastic, thanks so much for posting them.
I hope you and your new bass have much happy music together. Idf you can post sounds clips, I'd really enjoy that. I've never heard any neo pickups...

Oh, I´ve got really no Expirience in recording with my PC, but if you´d like to go on the Hompage http://www.public-peace.de

and then on the left Side, below click on the Black Label "Maruszczyk Instruments" There you can go to the three Models "Elwood", "Jake" & "Frog" and for every Model you´ve got different Soundclips, all with flat EQ only Low Cut @ 50Hz
