The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

I purchased my from from Bass Freaks on Reverb. Although they are in Belgium, Pierre was really good at talking me through the Customs process. The bass was shipped on Monday and arrived on Saturday! It was packed well.

I would say more, but I'm getting back to playing.

Heck yeah! What is the top wood? Looks a bit like Wenge?
 
Alright .... I'm 90% finished with my custom order ..... but I'd like some advice please.

Here's what I have so far...

I'm looking for a Punchy, fat, slap happy tone with lots of low end as well.....

I chose these Delano pups but I'm not 100% it's the best way to go ..... I'm going passive with this bass.

What do you all think? I'd appreciate the advice, it's the last part of the configuration for me ....

Also, the black pickgaurd or the Cream Pearl?

lol this has been my dilemma the past week or so. Too many options!!

I'm down to the pickups ..... the "make or break" part of the bass ..... ugh, too many choices! - I need someone to tell me "Bro, you need to have the (fill in the blank) pups installed, it'll give you exactly the tones you're looking for" .....

YO ADRIAN !!!!!!! (Rocky inspired quote :laugh: )

Adriaaaan!

Look, you gotta go for those Haeussels!

Are you opting for an Elwood? I've got the Haeussel Single coils with active/passive electronics and they give me the smoothest sound *drool* Don't have ANY experience with Other Single coil, but honestly no need to look for something else.

Can you send me some audio Dave?
