I have a Darkglass Tone capsule in mine!

That’s gonna sound awesome!
One of the builds I’m doing right now has the exact same electronics. Can’t wait to get it to the point of stringing it up and hearing what it sounds like.

I have a Charvel San Dimas with a Darkglass tone capsule in it and it sounds amazing!!!

has anyone replaced the domanski in a capzar 5? I have one now and love the bass but haven't been loving the tones and would like a HC single coil option.

Hi all, long time lurker here. I ordered my first Maru bass today, I can't wait for the couch pic. This is the configurator version:

Edit: it's an Elwood L, 34", matte vista green metallic, roasted flamed maple neck and fingerboard, Nordstrand warm&wooly pickups, and a cream binding.

That’s a beaut. I keep waffling on if I want a PJ Jake or a Elwood JJ. This one pushed me back to an Elwood (if only temporarily haha).

Very nice bass! I have a very similar configuration (I take it yours is passive, too?) and just love it.

So cool! Welcome, the quality of these basses is amazing, I received my first one (of four) back in December 2021 and haven’t look back since.

Got it in July 22. This was the couch shot and the first song I recorded with it (to put it through its paces a bit).

Been playing my custom Jake almost non-stop since getting it back in July. It's an absolute BEAST of an instrument.

How does it play? I’m obsessively watching my email for a couch pic.

It plays very well and everything is great! After three orders I’m not surprised but it’s always satisfying.

I hope yours will be ready soon!

I think I have decided I’m going to order a Sputnik. I’ve always been attracted to single cutaway basses and the options available for these basses are pretty stellar.

I'll go back through and read some of the posts in this forum, but in general what has been your experience with ordering a custom? How long does it take? I have a few ideas of things I want that aren't listed as options, but aren't too crazy - what has been the response for working with outside the box ideas? Any other input before ordering one?

Thanks!

Good choice! I can't remember how long mine too, but whatever it was that Adrian said is what it ended up being. The instrument turned out wonderfully. To this day, it still gives me butterflies when I take it out of the case, just as much as the day they put it in my hands! As for options that aren't listed, just ask Adrian - he's very accommodating and at worst he'll just explain that something isn't possible.

You want both, trust me.

You’ve successfully twisted my arm. Haha
