The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

Parallel is always going to have less output than series.

Seriously, that is not the case with my Maruszczyk bass!

Respectfully, I think it is - an ohmmeter to the output jack could settle it once and for all ;-)

I'm adding some new graphics to my studio walls with some preferred brands these will be cut out of vinyl.

I am getting so much GAS from watching the Maruszczyk YouTube videos. There are some insanely cool basses on there.

 

[Jazzfanatic]

Hey guys. I just got my first Maruszczyk and I'm completely hook. I toiled over the details of this bass and it's everything I dreamed it would be.



I'm already starting to plan a 5 string build and I need some help. I'm looking at going with either the bass culture pickups or the Haeussel bass bars or jazzbuckers. Which do you prefer and why? With the Haeussel pickups is there going to be a major difference between the bass bars and the jazz buckers. I can't really find anyone that does an in depth comparison of the tone. All the Maruszczyk site says is the the jazzbucker have an "original jazz bass" winding. Does anyone have experience with these pickups or have any recommendations? I will say that currently my favorite pickups are Aguilars. I have AG70s and the HCs and while I prefer the HCs, the 70s sound great too but the hum can be annoying.

Nope, my ears work better than an ohmmeter to the output jack! ;-)

I don't doubt that one switch position is louder than the other, as it has been with every such-wired bass or guitar I've ever owned or played, but since he doesn't label them explicitly, this may help:

Extremely informative! Interesting that your past experiences explain my current experience.

Anyone have custom orders almost complete or shipping yet? I'm 8 weeks into my Elwood L short scale order and getting more anxious to get that couch pic soon I hope

 

[road-cat1]

I placed my order middle of June. So I'm only about five weeks in. But like you, anxious!

 

[BlueTalon]

Mid-May for me, but I'm not expecting anything until at least mid-August. I won't start getting nervous unless I don't hear anything by the end of September.

 

[mmbass21]

I'm end of May but I'm patient. Currently at 15 months for a Moollon, probably will wind up with both of these finishing around the same time hopefully.

 

[moderatelyfunky]

It makes sense,

Hadn't heard of Moollon before. Beautiful looking instruments.

Definitely opposite end of the spectrum from Maruszczyk in what they are but that was supposed to be my 40th bday present, just running a little late. I'm so excited for my Elwood L medium scale though, so it'll be a great summer of basses!

Do you have a lot of gain or effects?

I have owned a few guitars and basses with series, parallel, and split wiring options. The volume difference between series and parallel was audible on all but my Ibanez. The Ibanez only had a slight volume difference and decreased mids.

The only thing I'd wonder is if they got the wiring mixed up and you're really getting series instead of parallel.

I orderded a Frog 6 end of February, but I had some specific wishes requiring non-standard parts. I expect the bass to be done any time now, given the final part arrived at the workshop last week. You can expect a review and a comparison with a Frog 5 headless once I receive it. The Frog 5, three years ago, took a similar time to be built.

Three months will be early August for me - patience has been a challenge! I wonder if the three months is still valid or if it is taking longer these days.

 

[lomo]

My order was placed May 11. I believe they have surged in popularity on TB, and summer is the time of vacations/staffing pinches.....patiently, eagerly waiting.......

 

[jzucker]

how are the cazpar 6 string basses? Looking at a 30 / 32 scale. The 32 scale in stock at public-peace looks great but the neck is a bit wider than what i'm looking for. There's only a couple clips on youtube of these...How do they make them so cheap?
