The weight really surprised me. And it's the stock bridge.
Every time I use the configuration tool on the Public Peace website I always select the stock bridge. It looks like the ABM bridges that is used on the Sandberg's.

Congrats!! beautiful P-bass
Wondering how the Katalox fretboard compares to rosewood!!??
Any of you all use the passive jake p 5? Looking for details on how it records, how the b string is and how the neck plays. Really anything you can share. The youtube clips sound awesome. I prefer it to the active one.
hey man, that bass is super long sold but give it a listen
I play in a cover band, so no recording. But the B on mine is really good and the neck plays very nice. Nicer to play than my Sire P7 5 string and on par with my German Warwick Corvette. Great tone, it's just a really nice bass overall. Probably around 8.5-9 pounds, so not at all heavy for a fiver. I have 7 five strings and it is my favorite for sure.Any of you all use the passive jake p 5? Looking for details on how it records, how the b string is and how the neck plays.

As a quick follow-up to my NBD post in February, I thought I'd share the Youtube video Adrian did with my Elwood. Frankly, I am so massively impressed by the instrument that I have begun rerecording all my bass parts for our upcoming album - it truly sounds that much better than what I used previously!
I speced my Elwood out to be a hard rock(!) machine, but despite its passive layout, it's actually really versatile. Here, three months into my Marusczcyk ownership, I am still absolutely smitten with my Elwood - Adrian's video should give you a pretty good idea why:

Thanks man - glad you enjoyed it!Wow, did not know Maruszczyk had a multiscale option. I can see why you're smitten and like the tone of those Delano DSlant-X. What is the scale length of the lowest and highest strings?
Thanks man - glad you enjoyed it!
The fan is a fairly modest 32.5-34.5"... But it sounds absolutely brilliant on the low B (I tune BEAD - poor man's 5-string). It is hard to know which element does what. However, the combination the woods, the carbon rods in the neck, the scale lenght(s) and the Delano DSlant X set is utterly brilliant for what I need in a bass.
Thanks man.Congrats on the bass again and glad you're liking it! Is the bass longer than a regular 34" scale instrument?
Thanks man.
I haven't measured it, but it fits neatly inside my gigbag and certainly doesn't feel any longer than my Jazz Bass (which is what really matters). Hence, if it is longer, it's only by a decidedly small fraction.

Hooray! All rosewood neck??
This guy knows his wood!![]()
