I found that having a dealer was really helpful not only for saving money, but for being a sounding board for ideas, and being a filter between my sometimes crazy ideas and Adrien.

I bought shipping via a handler with Fedex.
UPS collected, although no idea why.
So neither Fedex or UPS had the package in their
system and it was assumed lost or stolen.
Turned up 10 weeks later and I still do not know how.
So, they arent all bad. If you have a tracker number and the package is confirmed as in their system you are in a far better position than I was.
There is a difference between a paperwork 'scan' and a physical scan and if you have confirmed the latter, you have some recourse re insurance etc.
We were physically able to confirm UPS had the parcel at a local UPS depot but since they weren't paid to handle it, I dont know how they did so.

Anyone know what the multiscale lengths are for a Maruszczyk 4 string? Saw a 5er listed as 32.5"-35", which seems like something that could potentially work for me. Any knowledge of what models it's offered on? Think I've seen a Frog and an Elwood.
Don't want to bother Adrian with questions for something I'm in no position or hurry to order for a long time!

I emailed Adrian a while back regarding a 5-string multiscale and he said that the scale lengths were 850-892mm a.k.a. 33.5"-35". I don't know if the 4-string sticks to this too though, sorry.

My 30" Jake showed up yesterday after 12 days in transit and it is better than expected 
Setup is literally perfect for me and it is really light at 6.8 lbs. I like everything about it. I would like to add a Nordstrand 2b preamp to it in the future. I didn't see an option to get the Nordy preamp and I should have asked Adrian or my dealer about it but it will be no big deal to add one later. The local Luthier can drill me a side jack hole and I can get the preamp direct from Nordstrand already pre-wired to my configuration.

Looks great. 6.8- is that a chambered L, or just a nice light piece of swamp ash?My 30" Jake showed up yesterday after 12 days in transit and it is better than expected

Thank you. Its not chambered, just lucky I got a light piece of swamp ash and the body is smaller due to it being a short scale.

Is the Jake a slab body? It almost looks like there are countours, but may just be the light reflection.
It has contours and rounded edges...The lighting is probably hiding it in the pics
Thanks. The rounded edges I could see, but I wasn't sure if there was a tummy and/or forearm countour. Lighting for pictures is super difficult on those glossy finishes.
We'll see those better once you post your next cover video - get on it!It has contours and rounded edges...The lighting is probably hiding it in the pics

lol, I'm learning a new song to record a video for it this week
Ha, Adrian posted a Video of my Bass today. In the Video, the Bass was like i ordered it, with Flatwounds. At least, i've changed the Strings to Roundwounds, what fits the Bass much better. Ah...ande the Luminlays are Green of course and not as mentioned by Slawek, in blue.
