Well this was a nice surprise, only ordered this about 7 weeks ago and was told 12 to 15 weeks.

[attachment=235057:thumbnail_IMG_8003.jpg]

Jake 32" Scale, active with Delano pickups and set up in B-E-A-D.

yeah , 15 weeks is mega worse, often quicker

just saying for people looking to do orders soon :

i have one of those at home for my private and personal use (not such thing as too many , only the girlfriend or wife can say something and i don't have any)

those pickups are absolutely outstanding. Absolutely love it , very sort of "jazz bass" like but with some more guts and "hmmmpf" ...

super mega ultra cool ....

hasn't been that quiet on here in a while ....

where's every body? all hungover ?

really love Adrian's playing.

Wojtek I'm equally Fan , amazing slap player. However there's some stuff on youtube where he plays a 6 string and no slap. Absolutely stunning player overall.

Yeah I saw that earlier, he's a superb bass player.

So they're opening the new location next, right?
[/quote]

i think 2017 will for sure bring new things. Lets all keep eyes open :-D

Guys :-)

Wojtek Pillichoski now joins Maruszczyk instruments as exclusive endorser.

(he's the big guy who breaks basses with his thumb LOL)

amazing ! next step is open for Maruszczyk Instruments ! proof hard work does pay off!

E-mailed Adrian yesterday afternoon; a whole 18 hours later and STILL NO REPLY! And, even worse, no explanation of why there's been no reply!!
[/quote]

i suppose workload must be nuts...

yes Adrian is working 22/24 for NAMM.

Well he's working anyways 22/24 haha.... but you get my point..

he told me they're not building anything special for NAMM and will just see what's available and take it from there (too much normal work going on, no time for "show basses)

They're taking around 10 basses , they'll all likely sell in the US during that week end. Like 2 previous year.

not sure , i know the Bass show is expensive to be at. So if on top of it you have to add travel from Germany / Hotel etc ...

i'm sure it gets quite ££££££££££££££££

I am thinking of getting a precision bass and a jake is one of the options. It is a safe bet to go with Maruszczyk since I own one and already know the quality. Just simple passive with one p pickup. So, my questions to those who have experince with Jakes are that:

1- How do you describe the sound of maruszczyk's own p pickups?

2- Did you have any chance to compare them with other p pickups used by Adrian such as delano, haeussel, aguilar (my frog has bassculture humbuckers and they are great but I don't know if they have p pickup) etc. or any other p pickup you had experince with such as bartolinis, lindy fralins, fender vintage ones etc.?

3- How do you compare the playability and the sound of jakes to other p basses such as fender, lakland, sandberg etc.?

I know I can ask these questions to Adrian and I am sure I will get an honest opinion but I would like to know what are the opinions of those who have experince with jakes.

Cheers,

GC

His own Pickup is made with Ferrite magnets and a lot of winding. Hence the more kind of aggressive sounding bass. Just for the story he made his 1st pickup in Poland when he was about 15 or 16.

His J Pickups is Ferrite too.

All the other brands you mentioned are (to my knowledge) Alnico ... which will be much smoother.

in my opinion playability is just as good if not nicer than some of the "big boys"... but that's just personnal.

I'm going to be in Poland next week... and no, I promise I will not go to the workshop to stalk them while they -hopefully- start on my order.



I'll be too busy drinking beer anyway. They have a surplus of strange politicians and beer. The former... I have no idea how to help. But I'm a master at making beer disappear.

so was i , then i got old

so !

asked the boss : there's 13 people working in poland :-D

they're hoping to start the new workshop in march 2017

Going to wait till the money for this bass comes through and then will discuss with Adrian specs...

I'm wanting something sparkly...

Thanks for the comments, the SQ Series are really nice. Not a Silver Series, the SQ were thre next series after the JV's Made in Japan.
[/quote]

indeed, 1984 / 86 to my memory....

identical to JV .... in my opinion ...

they're beautiful , and indeed just as good as JV.

Any idea what the current waiting time is?
[/quote]

roughly 12 to 15 weeks BUUUUUT that's worse case scenario ... you could possibly get it in 7 ...

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1479923394' post='3180360']
That's right Pierre, I'm your W&T stalker. Still loving the Ergon 5 too.
[/quote]

you stalker :-D i have none left lol , sorry

built for me, many moons ago ...

sure , just hit me up if you need any info on my experience with em

don't worry about your B. They're really integrated to the rest of the bass.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1479780153' post='3179256']
I just emailed Adrian
[/quote]

good move ! :-D

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1479549518' post='3177360']
I'm in!!!! Elwood L ordered. Blueburst flamed maple top, Maple neck / board, 1 bassculture mm style humbucker, 1 bassculture single coil, delano 3 band eq with parallel/single/series switch for humbucker. I emailed my enquiry last night at 8pm and by 9.30 this morning we had agreed everything, I'd selected the piece of maple for the top and I'd paid my deposit. Possibly the easiest custom (ish) order ever and really swift comms.

12-15 weeks is going to seem like a lifetime lol.
[/quote]

waiting time can vary...... 12/15 is worse case scenario.

I've had one done in 7 or 8.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1479304620' post='3175461']
^^^ Agreed - top chap.

The mind boggles as to how busy he must be at any given time.
[/quote]

answer is he never really stops .... when its not X its Y ....

i regularly get shipments from him, and shipping label is always created at dumb time like 1 am or 5.30 ... 11PM ... or whatever....

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1479286893' post='3175265']
Just placed an order with Adrian for my first Maruszczyk, what an absolute gent to deal with.

32 scale active Jake with Delano P and MM pickups heading my way in a few months....
[/quote]

indeed , one of the nicest guy i've met in this biz....
