My Frog made a round trip from Tennessee to Ontario and back to Tennessee. Fedex is so much fun.

Wow, I had a package do a similar thing once… we had to put a stop on it and chase it down at the terminal it visited 4 times over a 2 week period. Hope it gets to you soon.
Thats amazing. Still has no estimated delivery date. Hopefully it will depart TN and be on its way here soon.
I once watched a package go from the UK to New York, to Jamaica, before getting lost and eventually going back to the UK.
I think the person in the UK sending me the package used my street address for the zip code, if I remember correctly. It was just a couple of cables, though.
Yikes.
I'm that they are using the utmost care in handling my precious package as they take it for a ride around the world

Playing is the configurator is dangerous! Possible next build 
Every time I use the configurator I end up making a Homer by adding every gaudy feature possible.
bassfreaks does an excellent job. I love this one:

Someday, I might get ambitious and do a configurator version of this bass (which they actually have [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]), with the options I would have chosen when this one was built.
Bump. And edited to mention there is a smattering of Sputnik comments above, leaning very positive.

I had a 32" Sputnik, 5 strings E-C.
I sold because it was 32" and because I went on a totally different direction and didn't need a 5 stringer.
Best bass I ever had. Construction wise it was perfect. Better than me other Marus.
Ergonomically it had a little bit of a body dive when seated, maybe because of the wood body I chose, which was heavy. Walnut, I believe.
On a strap, perfect.

Another video. This one is direct to the di, both pickups full, tone full. No effects.
The previous video had compression, chorus and reverb. But it was recorded from the phone mic. And it was only the bridge pickup.

What's the hesitation, other than cost?
I considered it vs the Paddock that I ordered since the body is considerably smaller (top to bottom). But in the end with all of the customizations I did on that bass, the Sputnik body would have put it over the top $$ for me.
There's no rationale for that body to be more expensive than the others, I think it's more of a marketing and positioning with the perception that it is supposed to be more of a premium instrument.
Valid points. The bump was for @VegetarianBass' post a while back, which surprisingly went unanswered.

My Mr Tee is all ready with a new Pickup installed by Adrian and is being shipped out to me today. Excited for this one 
Gorgeous bass! But as much as I like Maruszczyk, if I ever get a T style bass, I'm probably going to get it somewhere else.
Wow! Stunning basses but maybe Adrian will make bass like that? As I know Maruszczyk basses can be customize more than just options in configurator so why not asking for that kind of customization (or at least close to that?).
