You mean "top" as in, the tuners are oriented up toward you when the bass is on a strap? Yes, they do it all the time.
This one is a Cazpar and I requested a Joker headstock for it.
Interesting. This is a (27") Frog with a Cazpar headstock:
I imagine that you could request an Elwood 4 inline headstock on a Elwood L chambered body. There was a 50 Euro upcharge for my request of a different headstock on my Cazpar order.
That is cool and the first time I have seen a Frog body with a different headstock.

That's the beauty of Maruszczyk: unmatchable configurability along with the awesome build quality.
Playing with the configurator today when I should have been working... 
No doubt this has already been asked but does anyone know what strings Adrian uses. I've just took a set of 50 - 110 off as not keen on them and put back the strings which came with the new bass, a Jake short scale, they sound good but a bit of a rough feel, they are the nickel plated ones, 45 - 105. I'll gig with them next week and see how they go, they could be ones I stick with.

On one of their recent videos, someone asked this and Adrian replied with "M4DN Nickel 45-65-85-105"
Thanks for your reply. That's what's on his website. They remind of Rotasound ones I used to use years ago. I'll probably get some more Newtone custom ones which I put on the Elwood, 48 68 88 108, I know there isn't much difference size wise between those and 50 70 90 110 but the 48 - 108 felt better to play with.
Love their bass guitars, own five of them, not a fan of the stock strings that are shipped. First thing I do on every bass guitar I have bought from them is to change the strings.
I like the sound but they are too rough feeling for me. Ive ordered another set of 48 - 108 from Newtone. Great basses though.
I have been looking for an example online of a finished Maruszczyk/Mensinger Ash body or top finished with gloss transparent Bishop. No luck finding any. Curious if it will look similar to the configurator color.
Anyone here have that color on a build?

I found a few examples in various corners of the internet. One example is about halfway down the list of Public Peace's Bass of the month.

Just based off what I could find, I'm guessing that if you wanted a bass in transparent purple, and you wanted it to be the same deep rich purple color that you would find on an opaque or metallic finish, you'd have to make a special note of it. Otherwise you'd run the risk of getting a transparent purple color that's a significantly lighter shade than what you might expect.
