Who can the OP learn the most from? Well, for the most part, great as he was, Entwistle soloed through the Who's canon, being pretty much the lead player in the band, while Townshend held down the rhythm (probably the reason most folks don't like Pino with the Who, he's playing rhythm too). Squire, on the other hand, was mostly supporting the guitar and keyboards while they went off on one. So, if the OP is in a band where he can solo all the time, JE is the one to pay more attention to. However, if his role is more traditional, CS is a better example. IMO listen to both (they were both fantastic musicians, ahead of their time and just monster technicians) and just take what works for you.

Blackstar and Hughes and Kettner amps have a DI or line out, as does the Fender Super Champ.

I've ordered a whammy bar from them which was quoted as delivery with 10 days. Latest update, early April! It's over £30 cheaper than anyone else and I'm not desperate for it, so I'm happy to wait. It is a bit annoying though.

I used one of these http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/guitarstraps_detail.asp?stock=09111216204038 with all of my Stingrays and finally settled on Grolsch bottle stopper washers as straplocks after using both the Schaller and Dunlop systems.

I'm trying to maintain some kind of calm during my build (we're now a month in). I'm doing OK and don't think about it too much, but I think that, come the end of the month, I'm going to be 'itching' like a junkie. I already can't not look at a thread that has Maruszczyc in the title. Dark times ahead ahead folks

I quite like it, but not at that price. Also, from Zimbabwe? Hmm...

Just trying to keep my feed back current [quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1453556947' post='2960516'] Hi All, I bought this off EZBass - of this forum - a few days ago. Great chap! I'm loving this beauty. Been wanting to try one for ages - but they are quite rare. This was full-on black - but was stripped back to bare wood and lightly varnished. EZBass had a bit of enamel on the top, with a bit of plastic laminate, which I removed. I got over-zealous taking the paint off, which left witness lines. I ended-up having to sand the whole thing back down through the varnish - took ages , even with a sander. I've put some beeswax polish on it now, and I thought I might as well sand the neck down too to remove the roundwound marks and take away the slightly proud and sunk fretline markers (impercetible to some, but you can 'sense' these lines when wiping your hand across - and they do interfere with the 'mwah' too). Anyway, I levelled the neck and wet-sanded from 400-1500, then used T-Cut for a mirror finish, and light coat of lemon oil... I can almost see myself in the neck now! I also re-cut the nut. the factory setup was crazy high. Just silly. Strings are now pretty much on the fretboard, where they should be. Plays wonderfully with the flatwounds. The preamp and pup are very decent to my ears, although it's true that it can be a bit hissy with treble boosted right up (but nobody should go that far anyway really) The ramp is a great bonus. For me, it aids speed and fluidity substantially. Winning! [/quote]

Boo! One of those who was literally, 'what's not to like?'.

This review is music to my ears. I'm having a fretless Elwood L built at the moment and I'm really looking forward to when it's delivered.

I've always liked this mix of 'Warriors" which I discovered on a skiing video, RAWK! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50tabZ33Nhk

A recent pic of me playing the Ric and sporting very bad, 80s pants [URL=http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1000036_zpswk6x7erv.jpg.html][IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/P1000036_zpswk6x7erv.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I'm glad to see that they're doing a bit more in the bass dept, if all this leads to a more extensive range, I'm all for it.

This seems likely to have put the brakes on a wee bit. [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1454075557' post='2966176'] They would have had some time out for NAMM I expect. [/quote]

Hubba, hubba, hubba!

[quote name='cana.dan' timestamp='1454007509' post='2965392'] Blue maple but with a different scratch plate. [/quote]The pearl would look good on that. Ooh, trans green, maple and pearl! This is the 'problem' with Maruszczyc, too many, easily achievable choices; nice problem to have though

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1453988459' post='2964993'] Thanks ! There are rumours that there maybe some video afoot later [/quote]Ooh, a porno movie; excellent!

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1453983441' post='2964891'] I've got my next order specc'd out in my mind... [/quote] Come on you tease, details or even a photo mock up.

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1453986916' post='2964951'] [/quote]That finish is just insanely good. It looks deep enough to take swim in. As ever, top work Andy, truly outstanding. Kert is a lucky man, hopefully he'll post some sound clips.

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1453829114' post='2963222'] Ahhh yes but one of them is still that RA ? Quality not quantity sir [/quote]Yes it is, but patience, I'll post it again soon; promise

Any of the singles from So are always going to get my vote. However, beyond that, there are many things that rate highly for me, not least of which is this completely rock mix of a Frankie Goes To Hollywood hit, featuring the late Gary Moore on guitar. http://youtu.be/G0ErdO1hxdU

Since my big sell off, my basses on settee display would be a bit sad (just the two at the moment). However, when the Maruszczyc custom build arrives, I'll arrange them tastefully on the sofa and take a pic.
