Morning all .....

Question .... I absolutely LOVE this bass that Wojtek is playing here and you can see on the headstock it's obviously a Marusczyk bass .... and I would love to buy one

Here's the link for that screenshot so you can hear the absolutely beautiful "PUNCH" this baby has ... (kind of sounds like my Stingray actually)



Here's what's confusing me .....

This shot of an almost identical looking bass made by Mayones also played by Wojtek

What's up here? Are the two brands copying each other on this axe? Is one supposed to be modeled after the other?

So confused right now :bored:

He has changed from Mayones to Maruszczyk. Check Adrian's site for info on the bass.

After doing a bit more research, it appears to me that Adrian built a Pilichowski tribute line .... they call it the "PI" line ... I think that's what's up ...

Yes, this is Wojtek's signature bass. I wouldn't say that one tried to copy the other (or in this case that Maruszczyk copied the Mayones model), but it is built to the specifications and wishes of that musician. I'd say it's similar with the Marcus Miller Fender and Sire basses.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to let folks know what great person Adrian is. I had put a signicant deposit on the custom Joker you see Adrian playing with Wojo in his recent video. Sadly my health has taken a very bad turn and I am no longer able to play. Adrian was very understanding, found a buyer and refunded my deposit. Now I am not suggestting its cool to back out of a deal, I still feel crappy about it, more so after seeing the beautiful instrument. What I want to emphasize is my experience with Adrian as a caring and upstanding person of great honor and integrity that you can put your trust in. If ever I come out of this hole and play again, Maruszczyk will be instruments I play. Thanks Adrian and wishing everyone the best with their beutiful Maruszczyks!

I'm very sorry to hear that your health has deteriorated to the point where you've had to stop playing....Terrible news for any musician.....

Hope with all my heart that you recover to a point where you can play again in the future...:thumbsup:.....

I'd be interested to see the Joker that you'd ordered....

Do you have a URL for the video?.....

Best wishes for now and in the future....

FF....:)
