My first medium scale bass - it plays like a dream and sounds even better!
This is from the Moon series by Peter Malinoski, #94:
Check out this scarfed neck joint - 10 degrees:
The body is 90 year old douglas fir - not your standard pine - it is a very stable and if you are into tonewood, this wood has tons of it:
The fretboard is Padauk, neck is maple, scarfed headstock is ambrosia maple:
Now, this is a slab fretboard!
Hard to see in a photo, but the headstock has a radius to it - sort of puffed up like a pillow, very subtle:
(There are also 2 carbon fiber rods in his necks - not shown!)
Pete doesn't usually sign his work, but he will if you ask him! Check out the figuring on that ambrosia maple (also know as wormy maple):
Next to big brother P for size reference:
They look good together!
Those pickups are pretty special. Each pickup is actually 4 individual humbuckers wired together (in parallel) - if you go on his website petermalinoskiart.com,you can see a picture of these unusual "mono pole" units. This bass thunders on the lower registers and these pickups are why.
There is also a passive piezo that is activated by pulling up the tone switch. It is adjustable via those 2 small holes on the back. Expands your tonal options and gives an acoustic vibe to the sound.
It has 26 frets (polished to mirror finish), 1-5/8" Delrin nut, 1 inch thick neck, 12" fretboard radius, and weighs in at 7lbs 5oz
I can't put this thing down. It has also inspired my playing to a degree that I can't believe.
Thanks for looking!
(And thanks to Mr. Pickles for posting his 2 Malinoski's next to his fEARful cabinet or I would have never known they existed!)

. Then, I reached over for my drink, andlooked back at the screen. And then, I GOT IT!!! I simply can not explain why I dig these basses soooo much. Is it because it's not your everyday, cookie-cutter type of bass? Probably so. Wow.
