Just got a Harley Benton Kahuna U Bass. This Thing is Fun. Sounds huge when plugged into an Amp. No sharp fret edges and the strings are all even loud, when amplified. For that money really a "no brainer"

Adrian made a Video of my Bass. I got the bass in feb 21, but the video came a week ago. The luminlays are green of course and not as mentioned blue. I've changed the Strings to Adrians Nickel Rounds, which i like much better on that bass.

Cool. I didn't knew that they made that. The only Cortbass i've had, was the Cort Arona 5. That was a great Bass too.

Here you go.... 5-String, 24Frets, 19mm, 3,54 Kg https://public-peace.de/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/elwood-l/5-string/1984-elwood-l-5a-24-salomon-padouk-200007

Oh of Course you can have the Elwood with 24 Frets. The lower Cutaway is a little bit deeper then...

I had the feel that a lot of problems with the truss rod come because it is not considered or forgotten that the truss rod works the opposite way on Maruszczyk basses.

You could use the Maruszczyk Configurator. Eyerything you're looking for is an Option there...

i agree to that...🙂

I Don't know about the Truss Rod Issues, but in relation to that you have to know, that on the Maruszczyk and Mensinger Basses, the Trussrod works in the opposite Direction. There is no " righty tighty - lefty loosey". The opposite is the Case 🙂

Adrians english is not the best thats true. He told me on Wednesday he gets a few hundred emails per day, from nearly all over the World. Keep in mind, that there are only he and his near family to do the whole Job. Making Couchphotos, preparing Instruments for Shipping, adusting instruments before shipping, making Videos, writing the Certificates and packages that come with the Bass...all done by Adrian, and mostly his Daughters + 1/2 further Empoyees. So Adrian answers all the emails by himself and keeps them as short as possible. You have to know him a little, to get that right. He just told me, a few minutes ago that they will do the matte metallic finishes that you asked for. So go for it. I guess he had to make a consultation with the paint guys at Mensinger in Waksmund first.

She's here....finally..after exactly 14 Weeks. I think i'm in Love...😍 3,6Kg

Anything else would have surprised me. You pay the british import sales tax, not the 19% german VAT. In this case, customs should not be charged additionally, or am i wrong? by the Way...10 Weeks passed today..."Patience level: falling" 🙃

9 Weeks today...🙂

I've had them on my BB425X and my Mensinger Custom Joker will come with them, when its ready. I've liked them alot. They've got lighter Tension. Not as stiff as Chromes or Fender Flats

Hi there, today i went to Adrian. Kind Regards from him to you all 🙋‍♂️...We've had a nice Talk and I've had the opportunity to choose a flamed Maple top for my Joker Bass. Pic 1 is made by me a few Hours ago. On Pic 2 wich is from Adrian, you can see the Woodgrain better.

I calculate about 12 weeks. I live near Adrian. About 35km or 22miles. I'm going to visit him next Wednesday. A friend had a bass built for her there and we are going to pick it up together. To be honest, until recently I wouldn't have even thought I'd buy a bass like that, but it's good to be married to the best wife and fortunately I can. 🥰 Do you know this Video? Mensinger Factory Tour

I did not had the Joker Bass on my mind. A friend of mine created one on the Configurator and i liked it alot. I love it for its more or less own Design/Shape.

...and now the waiting time begins... 🥰

My BB435, that i bought used mint, came with DR Low Riders 045-125. I liked them...

still love my BB435. My everyday Workhorse...

I spoke to Adrian two Days ago and he told me from about 15 Weeks. I am g.a.sed right now by something like this...

I've loved the Radial EngineeringTonebone Bassbone (Version 1). Sold it, what i regret. ...and Just to mention, because it fits in this Thread... Thoman sells the Eden Module Terra Nova Preamp DI Pedal for 69,- Eur @the moment...

Of Course. I've had the full sized Vong, but only had used the HPF, so the Mini does exactly what i need plus i have won some space on my Board 🙂

Another Option, if you only need the HPF is the Mini VONG. Adjustable HPF between 30Hz and 140Hz. That's it... They are available as a Kit for self soldering @ schalltechnik 04 Schalltechnik 04 ..and there are also a few Guys @ Bassic, that do the soldering and sell them ready, put together and tested. Here is one HP and LP Filter brand new each for 40 Eur. (I am not the Seller, bought a ready one too) Mini Vong @ Bassic This little Unit is amazing if you only need an adjustable HPF

I love my Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor. Set&Forget and Always on....
