colleya Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I get to gig this fella for the first time tonight. If you're Manchester based and want a closer look at one then you'd be welcome for a natter and a try at the Steamhouse, Sale, [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]M33 2DH.[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3][/size][/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo2 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]not sure if Shall I make it public" - well, you've made the problem with the frets public so I don't see why it would not be appropriate to let us know what kind of support you've received from Adrian.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am not saying you should copy and paste the exact exchange you had but if I recall correctly there have been quite a few threads on this very forum where issues with guitar builders had been made public and different experiences from individual buyers shared. You say it's an old case so things may have changed since then - but I am now simply intrigued as to how you've recolved this.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just a thought.[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierreganseman Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, frets sticking out of bass have happened to me on a lot of basses I have had over the years. Brands I shall not name as its not the point and a lot of them were way more expensive things than Adrian's stuff. Its usually a 10 minutes job for any qualitfied tech. Surprising though as i really LOVE fretjobs on the ones I have here, just as good as any other brand out there , usually costing at least twice those.

[/quote] Hi, In short - after lot of arguing I have sent the neck back for re fretting work (I was expecting new neck but of course was wrong) Got this back (see attachment) So from that moment I knew buying an instrument ON-LINE is a JOKE but unfortunately I live at the end of the world... Case closed and happy to hear I was the only one. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvisions Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Please delete this post if it isn't allowed, but I'm selling an Elwood 5p, if anyone fancies a punt on one without paying full price. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280253-maruszczyk-elwood-5p-jazz-bass/page__pid__2993814#entry2993814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cana.dan Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Finally decided to contact Adrian about getting a P bass in Fiesta Red. However, after a back and forth it seems his Fiesta Red isn't quite as pink as I'd like it to be, so I'm having to look elsewhere. Bummer!

such Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 yes, I've just seen that. Very very tempting. I mentioned somewhere an Elwood that [i]might[/i] be for sale. Well, the owner (my friend) took it to LBGS, compared to some Stenbacks, Mayos etc and it doesn't seem to be for sale anymore.
