Is it possible to bond with a new bass in the first 5 minutes of playing for the first time? ABSOLUTELY when it is designed “just for you”!
Super happy with this one, it is just as expected… plays amazing, sounds fantastic with a nice aggressive growl, fantastic low B (no dead spots anywhere) and it’s the perfect size as it is a petite version of my headless Maruszczyk Frog.
The Luminlay side dots glow nicely.

AWesome! I've been thinking of a custom build similar to that (frog headless 32"). I see you have two, with both styles of headless tailpiece, how do they compare?
I went with the mono ETS bridge pieces on this one, they’re very nice and height adjustments are really easy to deal with however no lateral string spacing adjustment. That’s OK for me on this one I prefer the 17 mm spacing and have no need to go narrow or wider.
The two-part ETS bridge is also pretty nice because it does allow for lateral string spacing adjustment. That Frog in the picture was actually sent out with 19 mm spacing and I was able to adjust it down to 17 mm without an issue, so it’s pretty flexible. The tuners on both are great you kind of set the tuning and leave it as they don’t require much effort to stay in tune it all.
The other custom build that I’m still waiting on has the two-part bridge as well but it has the Piezo saddles so that’ll be truly unique.
Heck Yeh!!!!NBD!

- No neck dive
- Compact, you don't hit your guitarist's head so easily
- Fits in a guitar gig bag = easy transport, e.g. on a plane
- Usually no dead spots
- Punchy and direct sound
- Looks b@d@$$
I'm all for blue instruments, headless though... I'd make an exception in a heartbeat! That is a stunner!
This thing can't be that heavy, can it ?
