The Official MARUSZCZYK CLUB!

Very nice looking. Could you share what it weighs? I'm completely new to knowing about this brand - so very curious about their stuff. Thx!

9 lbs

I'm expecting the Joker I ordered a couple of weeks ago to arrive in late Nov or early Dec if everything goes per the usual 15-16 weeks. In the meantime I have been pretty curious as to the actual width of the body at the widest part. Any chance you might please measure that dimension and post what it is? I'd be grateful if so! Thanks.

35mm should do it.

35mm should do it.

Thanks for this. I'm assuming that the thickness of the body is about 35 mm.

The dimension I'm actually interested in knowing more clearly is the actual width across the face of the instrument. I'm trying to get an idea of the size of the Joker compared with my Cazpar.

I'd check with Maruszczyk directly on whether those pups are in stock and if not, how long the wait would be. Trust me on this. Good luck, beautiful configuration.

I’ve sent him a couple batches so far… can’t say how many are already spoken for, but I’m still making them, so turnaround shouldn’t be too bad.

The first batch I sent took a little longer than expected, though.

sorry it should have read 35cm

Thanks 2ndBass!

Did you figure out the difference between the Cazpar and the Joker in body width? Curious

Sorry only had one Cazpar come thought here. I have a Frog, Elwood, Jake, Jazzus and a Joker here but no Cazpar. I guess Sharif don't like it ;-)

Did you figure out the difference between the Cazpar and the Joker in body width? Curious

In rough terms, yes. Taking 2ndBass' 35 cm and converting to inches yields about 13.8" across the relatively symetrical face of the Joker body at the widest point. The Cazpar is asymetrical which complicates the comparison a little but holding a tape measure up and eyeballing across the diagonal of the body at the widest measurement I get around 12.5" +/-. So there isn't a huge difference and it's actually less than I imagined from pics of the Joker body. It'll be interesting to see how it feels!

Thanks for asking.

Interesting - I thought it would be lighter. I have a solidbody Joker (32" scale) and it's 9 lbs too. Mine is passive though.

Just got my casting couch shot for my second Frog!

I had asked for this black burst to be a bit light on the burstyness and I this was indeed what I had in my imagination.

Looks like quite a day around here. Conjured up this Sputnik in March, and ordered through Randy at Bass Spotlight (great experience). Laurel over ash, birds eye maple fretboard.

Tasteful! I really like how the roasted flame maple segments of the neck came together.
