Hi dude, I did one Elwood L6A for Anthony wellington and it had no neck dive whatsoever. Be aware too you can ask the "classic" shape and they'll just chamber it. You don't have to go "shrunk up" version.
I did that with mine! Classic C but chambered. I'm 6'3" and the Sadowsky NYC I have is just a tad bit on the smaller side. While the sound, quality of instrument and playability are top notch, it's not the most comfortable to play the smaller body. So, therefore, when Maruszczyk comes in and wows me, here comes the classifieds for Sadowsky NYC Satin. Lol.
Lead me not into temptation. The configurator is a dangerous snake... 
91 days left (without any possible delays), but it feels like I have been waiting for ages! How do you guys cope/deal with such long waits?
I personally hate to wait (wait for my wife to get ready every day for the past 18 years) and it doesn't get any easier. Lol
Waiting for the wife to get ready? Try waiting for the wife at all, that's a whole different Story
Oh my. Would love to hear these tones:

sure , no problem. My experience with 6's is limited (not often requested) however that one was perfect.
That would be my Mr Tee Build I think.
But it must have a neck with 42 mm @nut otherwise it won't work for me.
as I'm mainly playing 5 strings now, I'm still debating with myself between the Mr Tee and this one below
Anyone has a preference? (don't tell me get them both)

The Jazz copy looks AMAZING!
BTW, exchanged an email with Adrian last night. He's in the US for the NAMM show. I wish I could be there...
Thanks, still not sure about the pickup config, though.
Thanks,
I must say that I wasn't, at the beginning, a big of a Mr. T fan either but it kind of grew up on me.
Find it cool and something you don't see too often on stages, at least here.
Oh and the difference price-wise is only 200 Euros for the Elwood. So it's not that significant.

hey man, never asked Adrian but i'm sure 42 mm is possible.
Turns out Maruszcyzk Custom Shop is the only place I've found to get a 32" 5 string P bass.
That's pretty awesome....and may have just shut out Warmoth for me.

I'd change that to black hardware and add creme pickup covers!
I'm a 42mm guy myself but found the 40mm (1.57) like Adrian does to be awesome and big enough for my hands but not too small like a jazz at 38 mm. Once I got a Spector that had the 40mm and found it to have less strain on my left arm and hand it's still very very comfortable to play.
Personally I'd go with different knobs and a black or chrome headstock logo, the gold looks kinda weird to me. But that looks really nice otherwise. 32'' scale is probably super comfortable to play as well.
Salut Pierre!!
Well actually I did asked him for my Elwood, and he answered that it was possible. I found out that 40 mm is just too small for me but it can be also due to the shape of the neck itself.
I didn't think that 2 mm would make such a difference and was kind of "laughing" at people who argued between P bass neck and Jazz neck.
But when I got my Music Man Cutlass (by accident), oh boy, I knew that this was the kind of 4 string bass neck that I enjoy the most, and allow me to play effortlessly.
Yep, Same for me but with 42 mm neck. Or 5 strings bass to eliminate incredible stretch.
