DESCRIPTION:
Up for sale is this awesome Maruszczyk Instruments Elwood L 6a-24.
Anyone who has casually chatted about bass gear with me in recent years will already know that I'm currently a big fan of Polish brand Maruszczyk (and their sister brand Mensinger) due to the niche that they fill in today's boutique instrument market while also being widely available thanks to their German parent company Public Peace who distributes the instruments.
Maruszczyk offers pretty much anything that a player could want in a bass in terms of specs and features; and they somehow manage to do it all at fairly economical price points when compared against other brands. This particular Elwood L 6a-24 is actually a perfect epitome as it rocks so many idealized specs and design choices that cater to today's modern bass players who demand a lot out of their instrument. (Examples would be: a compact body, a modern neck profile, Nordstrand pickups, a Darkglass preamp, individual single-saddle bridge pieces, etc.)
Specs:
• Body wood: ash
• Top wood: eye poplar
• Body finish: gloss transparent green
• Scale length: 34" (864mm)
• Neck construction: bolt-on
• Neck wood: maple
• Neck finish: natural satin matte
• Neck profile: modern C-shape
• Fretboard wood: flamed maple
• Fretboard radius: 18" (457.2mm)
• Fretboard inlays: abalone blocks
• Fret number: 24
• Pickups: Nordstrand Zen Blade 6
• Preamp: Darkglass Tone Capsule
• Controls: volume knob, balance knob, 3-band EQ (one knob per band), active/passive mode mini-switch
• Pickguard: 1-ply clear
• Bridge: WSC Monorail
• Tuners: WSC Standard Y-Style
• Nut: Graph Tech Black TUSQ
• Nut width: 2.13" (54mm)
An official, Maruszczyk-branded gigbag is included in the sale.
CONDITION:
Absolutely immaculate condition minus some standard signs of playwear with the worst of it being the unavoidable, slight discoloration of the gold hardware.
PRICE:
$2,700 OBO + shipping
LOCATION:
East Coast, USA.
I can work with interested buyers on all shipping concerns domestically or internationally.
