Wow, those came out really nice - love the contrast of the black and the white ebony.
Adrian just sent this pic after I inquired about a bag upgrade. My latest (clear pickguard has protective film below) will probably be on the same truck as yours from Poland.

So nice! Love the look of the pickguard and the knob recesses.

Sometimes I see two basses with couch pics like you guys. Do you think Adrian especially liked your configurations and made one for you, one to sell off the shelf?

WOW, They look amazing! The white ebony (I think?) fingerboard looks incredible.

How many weeks form order to couch?

Edit - read back and it looks like 12 weeks.

Thank you! yes white ebony on the black one. 12 weeks almost for the Spalted Maple and only 7 weeks for the Black swamp ash Bass. I ordered the black one on March 2nd :hyper:

If you mean the two "basses" in the shot, that's their standard image trickery so you can see both sides of the same bass! PS my bass took exactly 10 weeks from order to couch.

What's thevfretboard on the black one . That bass looks sick. Congratulations on your cazpars.

Thank you! Its White Ebony for the fretboard :thumbsup:

Is that 1st one a Spalted Maple or maple burl top. That top is sweet.

It is Spalted Maple burl...This one was the coolest looking top that Adrian let me chose for it out of 3 different tops..IMO :cool:

@TK4261 Do you have specific uses in mind for them individually?

How much time from Adrian's couch to yours?

I'll hopefully be using them to gig with in my cover band. Having a Jazz & Humbucker in one and a P & Humbucker in the other should give me enough tones.

Adrian sent me the couch pics yesterday and he said he would send me tracking info next week when he ships them so I'll keep you posted on how long it says it will take to get to me here in Vegas. :thumbsup:

I'm considering a Maruszczyk 30" 5-string or a Atelier Z ZPO-5 (30" 5-string). Does anyone have any comparisons?
I was debating them as well. I went with the Maruszczyk, partly because I could find more people who had played them and partly because I wasn't a fan of the look of the ZPO-5. I really like my 30" Elwood 5.
