thanks! that's always bugged me.Short answer:
Long answer:
There is a whole thread on it!
Ma-roo-seek? Anyways this is my new goal to save up for when I get back to work. I've got a couple weeks of therapy and a reason to work overtime when I get back. One of these two. It's nice to have goals eh?
Once you have placed an order how do you check it? The website sent me a message when I set up my account saying I could check orders at anytime but I can't see anything that links to buying history. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? All I seem to be able to do is update my personal info.

I've always placed my orders thru a dealer and from what I know after placing an order it's always silent radio until one day the couch picture shows up when the bass is ready and was sent from the shop in Poland to the offices of Adrian in Germany where it's inspected and he decides which basses he wants to record a video demo with.
Have you received an email confirming the itemised breakdown of the specs/cost of your custom order?
Assuming that Adrian doesn't have any issues or questions about your spec, that's the only bit of confirmation you'll have until - as 1kinal pointed out - you receive your couch shot, some 5+ months later.

Average wait time is 15-20 weeks usually but as it gets closer to 15 weeks you can send Adrian a request for an update on the progress and he should let you know.
My turn for the couch pic! I am SO excited to have it in my hands!
Looks great! Out of curiosity, when did you place your order? Trying to forecast overall production time these days.
I placed my order on December 5, 2024. I was told 5-6 months because of the holidays, but I'm glad it was closer to the usual 16 weeks.

I'm thinking about getting a Maruszczyk, and have been for a few years. I'm sure this has been answered many times before, and I've listened to official demos, but can the Delano Xtender pickups with Delano Sonar preamp sound pretty warm (tone), say on a Jake with an ebony fretboard? I'd like to hear from those that have experience with this combo. One last question, but from the demos I've heard, it sounds like the Times Square pickups might be a little warmer than the Xtenders?

I have the Delano Xtenders in a headless I built with a Noll 4-band. I think they're great pickups, warm and organic sounding.
Playing just passive with a tone control rolled back a bit and they sound very full. I also have wired them for series/parallel/single switch.
Based on that, I've bought a couple of additional sets for builds I'm doing.

It's my turn to receive the famous couch shot!
I was happy to see that the unusual pickup positions I requested were followed. The bridge pickup is in the exact MM sweet spot and the neck pickup is very close to the P position (1/2 inch towards the neck IIRC, in order to have one inch between the two pickups). I've always found most bridge pickups too close to the bridge for my taste so it will be interesting to try. Each pickup can be runned:
- Regular P
- Series (all 4 coils)
- Reverse P
Well it looks like I'll be joining the ranks. Just ordered a Frog headless yesterday. Let the waiting game begin....
