The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!


Nice! +1 for Blk

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)

Currently own - 1
Owned/Sold - 3
On Order - 2
Total - 3

Randy gave me an update on my Cazpar order with the Zen Blades and he said he spoke with someone at Nordstrand today and they will be sending out a batch of pickups including our Zen Blades to Adrian by the end of next week.:ninja:

Yeah, he texted me last week as well, pretty disappointing that Carey dropped the ball… 12wk lead time is ridiculous.

There's a branding opportunity in there somewhere…

"most Maruszczyk owner's recommend 3-5 basses per household"

Yeah, If I still lived in Redlands California, I would hit Carey up for a job helping make pickups cause it sees like they need some extra help there. I waited 6-7 weeks for a regular NP4A P pickup direct ordered from Nordstrand recently. Seems like they are not keeping extra stock. Only building as orders come in

They are in stock at Best Bass Gear right now.

I'm between the Jake and Mopped B body shapes.

Any owner of a Mopped B, around here? How is the balance? I notice that in the configurator the strap pin is on the 12th fret, but in the rare pictures I found online, it's in the 13th-14th fret.
How's the reach to the first fret? And playing sitting down?


Any pics of owners with Mopped B? And how is the 55 headstock live?



Thanks!
 
I just placed an order for my second Maruszczyk bass! Basically the same specs as my Elwood 4 C, but without the black blocks, different body color and Maruszczyk coated strings with Aguilar AG 4P-60 pickup.

Placed my order with Randy @ Bass spotlight a couple of weeks ago for this lightweight Elwood L 5 string. Old school...Aguilar 60 PU, Passive and with a control plate (not shown) and battery box (if I want to go active)..VVT controls. Quilted maple top...he sent me images and I chose which piece of wood to use on the top. Swamp ash body, flamed maple fingerboard, lightweight tuners, etc.. This is the 5th one that I will own. I have sold one in the past, but still currently have 4.
