Maruszczyk custom configurator...this is deadly.

And another....

Vintage white binding w/ vintage tinted satin neck. :-D
 
Converted to US Dollars, right around 2k.

Alot of custom bass for that price...

Got me really thinking.......

Here's my design with Aguilar electronics and black hardware, transparent pickguard, swamp ash body, birdseye neck and fretboard.....

Setup with 35" scale 14" radius.

I wish they had an option for string thru body, but I didn't see that....

Still not bad though.

Be advised that you guys can always discuss your custom wishes with Adrian or your representative. Speaking of which, be advised that there is at least one U. S. dealer for Maruszczyk instruments, I have linked the Facebook link somewhere above, otherwise you can contact Adrian via [email protected] about dealers in your area. If you go with a dealer, the customs will be taken care of!

Speaking of U.S. dealers, I ordered through Fretspot.

Donovan was very helpful in setting up an option through Adrian that was not on the configurator. The bass should ship to Fretspot and they will check it over before forwarding to me.

The best thing is you can order with just a $300 down payment. Very dangerous to all those with GAS :laugh:

That is close to what I like.

I was first attracted to them because of the Hellwood:

I didn't mind the orangish pickups and logo, but the neck...




So here's my version, which rings in at:
Gross Price € 1,270.00
Including 19% tax € 202.77

What a wicked time sink. Mine is 90 percent of my ideal. Perfect would be the same but with a humbucked J pup in the neck position and a black headstock. String-through-body is the 17.5 brigde spacing option ( @RolandMHall ), which is what I chose with a Hipshot A style bridge.

Yeah, for me string through spacing is almost required. It'd be nice if you can choose the fret sizes also. Jumbo, vs Mandolin size, etc.....
