They're not related. Adrian Maruszczyk is based in Germany, and uses a luthiery workshop in southern Poland. Those guys made other brands before. Now, Mayones is in Gdańsk, some 400 miles north, and is a (Dziewulski) family business. At first known mostly locally for decent and inexpensive instruments "for beginners" marketed under a few brand names simultaneously (see pic). They were well built, had good hardware (Schaller Tuners, WSC pickups) and cost about as much as a Squier Affinity.

Yeah, I was thinking about tobacco burst, teal, metallic black etc, and finally went for the humble "olympearl" white for my upcoming Buzz 🤔

Indeed - it's ready now but won't be shipped for a few more days 😭

Very cool. Classy, understated, yet somewhat sinister.

Doing customer service for a big company whose deliveries are handled exclusively by Hermes, I can't say I find this extreme 🤔

These look super nice. A P-bass is like a burger - quality ingredients put together by someone who knows what they're doing and you get something hugely satisfying.

Ben bought my trusty Cali76, everything was quick and smooth. Real gentleman.

+1 for Restauracja Gitar. I will have my Buzz (their own brand) in a couple of weeks, and ordered confidently after playing a few of their instruments. They are becoming a bit of industry standard in Poland. I specified everything including upgraded/upcharged finish (Oly white with pearl mixed in), pickup (DiMarzio) and pickguard (Montreux celluloid) and still don't know what I'll pay for shipping, but even with it included, it will probably work out under a grand. If it has to be a Fender, they always have a selection of Japanese ones, some just cleaned, setup etc; some fully refinished, often in crazy colours - I remember a Paisley on a whole Bass, including headstock and back of the neck. He won't put a Fender logo on a guitar that wasn't a Fender before the refin.

Yes, just like there's way more BMW M3s in Poland than they have ever made.

My first was a Presto-Lang much like the one pictured (photo off the internet, I don't have any of mine), but sparkly red. It was a collab between a post-communist national factory and a proper local luthier. Good bass, if ugly. Bright, resonant and lively. Heavy ash body, 3-piece maple neck. I bought it from a studio that this metal band called Vader resided in, for 200pln (£40). Had decent hardware and passive "designed by EMG" pickups. It had aluminium monorail bridges which had rusted screws and couldn't be adjusted. I swapped it for a brass equivalent (which curiously was easily available and cheap in my local guitar shop) and the tonal difference was so massive, I became instantly interested in guitar building and modding. I later sold the bass for profit and bought the same model, but with Ibanez SR style headstock, beech body, ash (yes) neck and two reverse P pickups. It was an inferior instrument, dull and unresponsive. After that, custom Mensfeld (the manufacture that makes Maruszczyks now), some Peaveys, many Yamahas, a few Warwick, many Fenders and a couple of FSOs.

Just got some progress photos on my Buzz order 😍 photos don't do the colour justice, it's very pearly and relic'd just enough so I don't stress about dings. Great proper celluloid tort pickguard, which I chose out of many. Big fat neck with lovely rosewood, DiMarzio pickup, nickel hardware. Alder body with pre-CBS correct lacquering procedure: fullerplast followed by thin nitro.

Hipshot D-Tuners (can't have a 4-string without one, at least not too long) DiMarzio "Model" pickups

Restauracja Gitar in Poland do that. https://restauracja-gitar.pl/makeover-relic-2/ Clicking one image takes you to renovating options, the other one to relicing. Both can include a full nitro refin. With £1 being about 5PLN, a full strip, refin, relic, reassembly come to £250-ish, which, seeing the quality of their work, is ridiculous.

Only if you read captioned lyrics, otherwise it's clearly "I will bleed, I will die" 🤔

Any more of these and it would be called "flamed maple".

Then again, when Nirvana became big, some people asked if it's like Pixies for Guns'n'Roses fans 🤷🏼‍♂️

Beautiful! I GASsed for those heavily around 1998.

This being Restauracja Gitar, I'd guess it's been resprayed with nitro.

I found some once 😎

They are making me a P bass as we speak 😁

Seriously doc, it's just a buckle rash rash.

Thank you @TheGreek, I just rounded it up a little for simplicity

Mick mentioned having too many of those sweet white knobs, and one afternoon I asked if I could buy a couple. He sent them 1st class next morning and only wanted payment once I had them and was happy (which is the case). Top gentleman.
