The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

Guys, I've got a serious problem I need your help with.

I am fanaticizing about a fretless Maruszczyk despite the fact I am waiting on my second fretted Frog. But I've been playing my first Frog so much and it is so dreamy and then I am realizing my fretless isn't very versatile and thinking about selling it. That's the context so you understand the urgency of the matter. :P

My question though is, I'm loving the look of some of the more unusual woods in the configurator. BUT I've only ever had ebony fingerboards. What other woods that Maruszczyk offers work well for the beloved mwaaahhh of a fretless with roundwounds?

i know its probably buried in this thread somewhere, but where is the best place to place an order? on their website or through one of the US distributors? is the price the same?
I found that it is easiest and will save you money to go through RANDY RILEY, (BASS SPOTLIGHT). He is located in Chicago and is a registered dealer for them. He can expedite responses, advise you on what is possible and he can get you a discounted price. He gets a dealer's price and passes on some of the savings to you. My last 3 purchases went through him and I have found that I saved between $400-600 from the price on the configurator.
randall Riley [email protected] is his email. He responds quickly
 
Messing with the configurator this evening :woot:

Hey guys! I am thinking of getting a Jake and throwing a vintage P pup on it, and I want to have it setup with low action such that I get no buzzing when playing normally, but that nice sort of "pop" when digging in on high octaves for example.

I have noticed that in the demo videos, there is almost always a decent amount of fret buzz happening. What is going on here, is it the player (please note that I think he is fantastic), or do most clients want that kind of buzzing? It makes me a bit worried about being able to achieve the sound I described above, without having constant fret buzz during normal playing.
