Bargain for this price!

I'm huge fan of Maruszczyk basses. Over the years I owned few Jakes, but this is my first plunge into Elwood (Absolution). This bass is a beast (from the East), the range of tones is amazing and it plays like butter.

How do you know it plays great if it's never been played? ;-)
Looks good, good luck with the sale!

Could this be the fact it's end-of-line and has probably been gathering dust and/or moisture in a warehouse?
I expect a few people are bored by now of me banging on about how much I love my Diamond P/J (aka a Model T) but I've found the same thing - it's an exceptionally well-made instrument and a joy to play (though the wide, flat neck was quite a contrast to my other basses). I got mine back in 2012 and I've had no problems with the electronics. I've not tried any Shukers or Marusczyzks to make a similar to comparison to basski's above, but when I was shopping around I thought it held its own really well against the US Fenders I tried, and definitely felt a cut above the Mexican ones.
That's GORGEOUS. How well-balanced are the two pickups? (I've only got a single J in the bridge position on mine!)

This was purchased by the chap I bought it from yesterday and it was one of the end-of-line clearance one from Andertons. It wasn't played much (in fact it was immaculate, still had plastic film over the pickguard).
The balance is great. The positioning of the P pickups is same as for Fenders and the bridge humbucker adds a nice trebly punch to the mix. The bass is passive but the pickups are very responsive and loud.
Did not yet find one thing I didn't like about it. Oh Yea, the colour ... I never fancied the basses of this colour finish, probably because it looked quite dull on the pics... however I can't stop looking at it now. With some sunlight the colour looks gorgeous, also thanks to the glittery finish.

Agree with everyone here. Bast value/money ever. Just got this one second-hand. Simply cannot believe the punch and the tone of this thing
-
Just got this Schecter PJJ. Best value for the money bass I ever owned. Comparing to the much more pricier Shuker and Maruszczyk Jake 4 basses with this pickup configuration, the sound is as good if not better. The build quality also appears to be excellent.

omg !!!

Why do Canadians always think they are superior ? I'll never get it

That is NICE !
