Hahaha when I grow up I want a bass like that!! Sweet Nora!

I got these dudes online to do the diagram for me but all passive (v/t/v/t with mm tone push pull for parallel/series)

View attachment 4665218

I didn't open it up to see if Adrian added some extra spice because it just sounds so lovely.

Nice to be passive again as my frankengeddy is with a customized Johneast preamp. Added a 3 way switch for series/parallel/coil tap

Ah that's a cool wiring idea!
The Frankengeddy paint scheme and pick guard are cool too, I see that you're consistent in your pickup configs :thumbsup:

Yep I asked Adrian for a bunch of stuff... Thin neck profile like on my geddy Lee bass and custom wiring!

Such a nice dude. Got my custom bass from order to my hand in 3 months!

Here she is in all her majestic glory... I'm like the aul lad in brave heart "I'm a happy man son"

Thanks man, I was so used to the johneast I wanted to have an extra little something tonally.

Lol I'm in an AC/dc tribute so I need the mm for about 70% of the stuff and then flip depending on the early era stuff .. finally got a p but the nordy wooly blades actually kinda sound a bit p'ish...

Ordering a pickgaurd for the new betsy from alperious custom pickgaurds .. I got mine before prince, Marcus miller, Victor Wooten

How's the frog like to play? That's got a preamp in it right?

Man Adrian is such a great dude and the quality of the instrument Vs cost is nuts. So much poopie I asked for and then on top they added the blocks and a crazy cool leather strap for free!

Very German sense of humour too which made me laugh... Oh and he's an insane bass player too!

MARUSZCZYK, markbass and barefaced are honestly now the only places I will go to get gear from. Life time customer.

If I may ask, what exactly did you ask for, and what exactly did you get that was different than normal?

Thinner neck profile (took measurements from my geddy Lee bass neck), non standard wiring (v/t/v/t +push pull parallel/series (not an option in the configurator)... Have the exact details in a previous reply to one of the lads there with the wiring diagram. Lastly extra fret levelling on the higher frets so I can get my action super low too.

Also stuff I didn't ask for but got... Block inlays + leather strap!!

Thinner neck profile... thinner front to back? Narrower at the nut? I'm trying to understand exactly what you asked for regarding neck dimensions.

I'm just curious about how many Maruszczyk basses that folks either currently own or have owned… it seems that many members have multiple, or are addicted to the configurator :)

Since we can't do an actual poll in this thread, I would love to see some responses in-line… Here's mine so far:
Currently own - 1
Owned/sold - 0
On order - 2
Total - 3 (soon)

I went with black hardware for my eye poplar top. So I would obviously go for black in your case :D
