Merton Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) 32" scale Passive J set up Maple neck and board Either blue burst with pearloid scratchplate, black burst, vintage white with tort plate or all black with black plate. Of course I cannot afford it, but that's not the point. Talk me out of it. Edited March 9, 2016 by Merton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I keep looking at this which I like a lot... but I'm not really into shiny new basses, so it's fairly easy to resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 In a selfless gesture I'll buy your ACGP for a couple of hundred to help you build a fighting fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 As a recent Maruszczyk buyer I can only recommend it. My Jake is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I NEED a 5 string precision in my life, I think I'll be getting in touch with Maruszczyk later in the year. It has to be 3 tone sunburst, rosewood and tort the perfect P, but with 17-18mm string spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I also have a large desire for an Elwood L 5 stringer. although a longer scale and an active preamp. I feel your pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently modding a bass that I hope will satisfy my 50s P GAS. Thread to come in the fullness of time...

such Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I know of a slightly used 5-string vintage white with tort (has a black one as well) Elwood for sale (not mine and not a basschat user either, please remove this post if it's breaking any rules), but it's the standard 34" scale. Quite pretty though, kinda '66-ish, painted headstock, lollypop tuners, dot&bound fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've become a fan of medium scale (Alan Cringean's fault, kind of) so although it's tempting it's not where my heart currently sits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes perfect sense. It would cost at least 50% more from any other manufacturer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
