Fisheth Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455183101' post='2976679'] Unf! That looks gorgeous. [/quote] It really is! I tried to combine all the things I love about my Steve Harris basses and my Geddy Lee, but without the weight of the Harris, so the neck profile is similar to my MIM Harris whilst it looks a bit like my Geddy with the black blocks. Looks stunning though.

Mattpt85 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455180676' post='2976645'] Wow did you decide to go for an "Attitude" syle neck? Nice! God that whole package looks great. [/quote] Yeah I was thinking about styles of fret markers and they're my favourite! Didn't request any specific dimensions though, I'm thinking it'll be great whatever it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrammeFriday Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1455110602' post='2975967'] Very well said. This might be slightly off topic, but, how does the Maruszczyk compare to your Sandberg in terms of build quality? I have a VM5 Supreme which I love. Going to order myself an Elwood 5L as a 30th birthday present. I don't doubt that it will be as good as the Sandberg, but thought I'd ask! Thanks. [/quote] I'll let you know when it turns up! I have a good while to wait, yet. But like you I am expecting quality to be more or less on a par with Sandberg, going by what I've seen and heard up to now. VM Supreme ... mmmmm ....

colleya Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1455180049' post='2976635'] Phwoar!! I went for the blank board too. I'm tempted to call mine "disaster area". Points if you get the reference. [/quote] So you'll only be able to play it by remote control from orbit?

pierreganseman Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I was at Adrian's headquarters yesterday. Very nice and passionate person.... Its a scary place to be : about 500 instruments ... Literally EVERYWHERE ... I saw all of you guys new basses hanging on walls. Not played them of course. Wouldn't dare. They did around 400 Customs last year and are already around 40 for 2016.... daaaaaaammmm i recommend to anybody to go and drop by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
