The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

I've finished reading the last 600 or so comments in this thread and mostly people seem thrilled with their basses. Then, there are comments about fret sprout, nut to tuning peg alignment, wrong string spacing, and things like that, which have me hesitant to go forward on the configurator.

Does Maruszczyk have fit & finish and communication problems or are these just minor things that come up when mail ordering a custom instrument?

When you guys talk me in to a purchase (which is what I'm hoping for), coming from the US, should I just go through their site or have an American dealer involved?

Some thoughts:

Fret sprout can happen with any instrument if the humidity change is extreme enough.

Some people are never happy with anything.

I used a US dealer (Fret Spot) and all went very smoothly. They handled all communication with Adrian and checked out my bass when it got to them. I only had to put $300 down which I thought was very cool.

100% agreed. Things can happen in transit and all. I am told Adrian inspects every instrument that gets sold and I doubt he did not notice it before shipping the bass in question out to customer.

I'd going through a US dealer. A good dealer will make ordering easier, and assist you with design, and any issues you encounter, all for the same price (maybe less) than going direct.
 
I'm thinking hard about ordering a multi scale 5 headless frog with Delano extenders split coil/humbucking. Although I should really sell something else first i don't like having stuff around that's not getting played

Sounds good to me, go ahead! :thumbsup::)

I've been thinking of a short scale headless Frog but Adrian won't make them shorter than 32"........the Cazpar just doesn't look as nice but maybe.....

It MUST be short scale? I like my 32" a lot.... :thumbsup:
