Good to see you guys ordering new basses. I've just placed my order for the fiesta red Elwood to go with my Jake. It's in stock and will be with me in around a week.

[quote name='Meypelnek' timestamp='1426703995' post='2721098'] I'd go for the Elwood. Like the idea of having team both in fiesta red. The Glockenklang 2-Band EQ is amazing. Had it in my custom Jake 5 for a couple of days to test. Crystall clear tone. And I guess it really makes sense on a Jazz Bass! [/quote] I'm thinking the same. An Elwood with the same finish would be awesome.

Help me decide guys. I already have a fiesta red Jake which has a demarzio DP122 PICKUP and flat wound strings that sounds very heavy. I need a modern bright sound to complement the Jake. Which of the following would you choose... http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/frog/4-string/270-frog-beta-4a-graphite-black130349 http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/elwood/4-string/313-elwood-4a-fiesta-red120260 http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/jazzus/jaz-4str/288-jazzus-4a-pelham-blue130067 Thanks for the help.

Can't wait to see it.. I'm about to order an Elwood in fiesta red to match my Jake. Bring on the GAS.

[quote name='Mike2tone' timestamp='1426195489' post='2715628'] Don't forget you can ask Adrian to upgrade the tuners if you do not want the standard one. He offers Hipshot for not much more. [/quote] I wanted to keep the price down so I took the standard bass, worked out at just over £600.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1426194598' post='2715615'] Thanks! And when you say the tuners are on the flimsy side, would you say comparable to standard Fender tuners, or flimsier than that? [/quote] The bass is lighter than a Fender so the tuners must be made of thinner material to keep the neck from diving.

My bass is the red Jake in the video clip from the previous thread.

It's very hard to describe these things. I would say it's not as thin as some modern basses but it's far from old school chunky. Somewhere in between, again perfect for me.

I have the single pick-up version just like a good old P bass. I replaced Adrians pickup with a Dp122 that has more growl and output. Adrians pickups are very clean and I just wanted to rough it up abit. Also put flat wounds on for a mellow vibe. The fret ends are finished to a high standard and I can't fault the workmanship. The only thing I don't like are the tuners as they feel a little cheap. Something has to give for the price. The neck is somewhere between a jazz and a P, just feels perfect for my hands. Hope this helps.

I really love my Jake. Better than a Fender and around half the price with the Euro about 0.72p. I'm saving for an Elwood. Got serious GAS

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1426016906' post='2713529'] I think it's just the way it's done on TB, with people having numbers & listing their individual club memberships in their signatures like a bunch of great big trainspotting Wendys. [/quote] Well said.. can I be Wendy number 1. :-)

I'm half way there with my Jake. An Elwood might appear next month.

Count me in as a Maruszczyk user. This is my Jake, a P Bass type in Fiesta Red. I've put a replacement pickup and a Parallel / series switch in to create a few sound options. They was nothing wrong with Adrians original pickup I just wanted a different vibe. Build quality and materials are good and the sound is fantastic..... a very easy player. I believe Adrian builds quality instruments without the silly custom ticket prices. His website lists what's in stock and new versions of his basses are added when they become available. If you want something specific he can build you YOUR bass. I just picked one from the list of in stock basses and I'm very pleased with what I got. Next purchase is going to be a Elwood or Jazzus ....... To much choice I have nothing to do with Adrian, Im just a very satisfied customer. Check out........

Um... now I'm stuck. Sorry

If you use the humbucker pickup only does it still buzz?

Can I ask... Are you wearing your bass and it is pluged into the amp ? Does it have single coil pickups ?

I would check out... http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/maruszczyk-instruments/mi-bass/jake I've just bought a Jake from Adrian Maruszczyk. Pronounced ma roos check. It's a great bass with amazing build quality for the money as the Euro is about 0.72p at the moment.
