Guys, Can someone with a tone hammer 350 amp tell me if the clip light comes on when the preamp or power amp is overdriven as mine does not light up. I think it is supposed to light when the preamp starts to distort. Thanks.

Come on...let us know. Which is which.

I think the first one is the P and second is the Maruszczyk. or is it....

IMHO they are just like Mayones are in bass guitars category. Modern, hi-fi sound with some unique features, that you might or might not like. The sound is clean and solid, VERY punchy, with bright top end and solid lows, a little bit dry. I prefer more "wet" "soft" and "mid-oriented" sounds (Ampeg!) There's nothing wrong with them, but I'd never use them for my P-bass, especially with flatwound strings, whereas I'd have no troble using Tone Hammer, which I find richer and warmer sounding. IMHO they are made for modern and/or heavier music. [/quote] You are right. The description is spot on.

I had a combo amp based on a valve preamp design that sounded very good. Had a tight modern punchy sound. Really miss that combo. Looking at the Qube 300 myself. 😀

I don't understand it either. You don't go into a music store and ask for a 3.5kg P bass do you. I think we are getting obsessed with all things light weight. We should stop obsessing and get on with playing.

Listened to it this morning with my work colleague. We both agreed that it sounds very much like all his output from the past, expect a few tracks where he was trying to do a different style but fails so badly. We won't be buying it for this reason.

[quote name='Naetharu' timestamp='1442684311' post='2868782'] Nice! Those Haussel's are lovely if some of the online sound samples are anything to go by. [/quote] I've tried many pickups and the Haussel sound fantastic with the added bonus of Rosewood covers to match the neck.

Kind of NBD bass. I was going to sell my 6 month old Elwood to fund another project but decided to breath a little new life into the old girl. I've added Rosewood covered Haussel single coil pickups and added a set of 40 -100 chromes. Now its perfect..... enjoy. [attachment=201027:DSCF0570-2.jpg] [attachment=201028:DSCF0568-2.jpg]

Fantastic bass. Welcome to the Maruszczyk bass club.

Oh..... I live 5 miles from hook.

Oh, that's pretty.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1441891044' post='2862650'] And my new Maruszczyk Jake is finished!!! I've seen it and it's gooooorgeous It'll be posted on Monday. The last few days are the worst to wait... [/quote] Can't wait to see your new Maruszczyk. The basschat Maruszczyk club is starting to expand. 😀 My Elwood is having new wood covered Haussel pickups installed next week so I will post my new baby soon.

Great looking Maruszczyk.

Sounds great, I really like the spec. Ten weeks will fly by. At least it's not 18 months like my old Shuker build. I'm now loving my Elwood. Been playing for a good few hours today and loving the sound.

Pity, I could do with more strings.
