cocco Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1450135972' post='2930013'] So mine arrived today in case that wasn't obvious . I can post a photo tomorrow, however the picture above from Adrian can't really be beaten! After an evening with it at home, my instant thoughts are: - It's light! (7.3lbs) due to the chambered body (costed extra) - Beautiful finish, the shoreline gold (costed extra) is lovely, and the matching headstock really sets it off. - quality bridge, nice and solid. - Hipshot USA tuners (costed extra). - It's light. - the neck was slightly more shallow than I anticipated, which is perfect actually. Really fast and smooth neck. - frets slightly smaller than anticipated, really nice feel. - the above two points are largely born from my '71 Precision being my benchmark, which is a bit of a chunk. - really lovely & dark rosewood fingerboard! - the Haussel pickups sound great through my Markbass practice amp, but the real test is gigs this weekend, I'm confident! - did I mention it's light?! - the 'retro' strap that came with it is stunning, hugely happy with that! - nice gigbag too, simple but effective. Overall I'm incredibly happy, a 33" Precision bass is ultimately what I wanted, and I have that and more . Can't wait to gig it! Si [/quote] Sounds amazing, can't wait for mine to turn up now.

wateroftyne Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah, the straps they come with are great. I got a black one with my first, and a lovely vintage brown with my second. It all adds to the '[i]How much...?![/i]' factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Was looking at a Warmoth J build to treat myself in 2016. Having seen the spec of these now, I'm not sure whether it's worth it - these guys seem to be on the money. Just need to have a good look through their website.

[/quote] I wouldn't go the Warmoth route after I have seen what you can get from Maruszczyk. UNless part of the joy is teh actual build, finishing it etc, of course. Just make sure you measure everything you think matters to you and specify it exactly the way you want it. Beautifully made instruments.

Fisheth Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Lovely bass there... Makes waiting for mine harder! The order form was done on the 14th, will it be from when that went through, or when the payment went through (The following Monday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_bass Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Not sure - mine was a special order so its been THREE MONTHS since I ordered it. Man that was a wait. Already deciding on the next one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Seriously, if he had Paypal or credit card payment options on his website, I'd have at least two of these by now. Spectacularly good basses for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
