Thank you! I've had a few Warwicks too, and I couldn't get them to buzz if I tried. - this is the kind of playability I'm looking for.

I have only had mine for a short while, but it came setup very low and definitely "buzzable". I'm not sure about that aspect for you, because I've never owned a Warwick. It plays as good or better than any Warwick I can recall playing, but those would be just Guitar Center instruments or a quick look at someone's bass. I find the Elwood that I have to be more quite playable and a little "easier" to play than my SB-2 or my main jazz bass. Definitely better than any Fender I've played. It is my first 14" radius, which may be part of the playability. The only bass I've personally handled that seemed to take a lower yet still playable setup was a Fodera, of course at a considerably higher price tag.

Came out a little more red than I was expecting but looks great regardless. Waiting for shipping confirmation.

Congratulations! :thumbsup::cool:

And indeed, my basses also looked different on the sofa shots than in real life.

Looking forward to your report!

Edit: This is the 2nd Cazpar here in the past few days which makes me wonder if I am actually GASing for one....:drool:

I was looking at a short-scale 5-string thread and saw a mention of the Cazpar configurator a few months ago...didn't last too long after that. It has pretty much all the options I wanted at a decent price.

Will record a clip when I get my new interface in a month or two.

I think every bass can buzz depending on strings / setup and how you play.
I have my bass low action enough so it will buzz but since I play very close to the frets, it won t come out during playing by my hands.

The maruszczyk I have tested had lower action than my other basses and wouldnt buzz at all even if I tried.... but then again , its all relative.
The question is how low can you get the action before it will buzz and from what ive read here, you can get it pretty low.

don't worry too much. Colours in my experience are always much more "vivid" in his pictures than in real life.

and they'll depend too of lighting , your screen ... and many other things
