We always try to have some medium scale basses at Doctorbass.net. This is actually a 5 string medium scale bass and it proves that the low B can be loud and tight if things are well done.
The Elwood model is a best seller within the Maruszczyk family and it is easy to see why. The classic design and ergonomics make it feel like home as soon as you play it. This model in particular is a 32" scale instrument, meaning everything is within reach. if you have small hands or just want a bass that allows you to reach more notes without having to stretch a lot, this is it. The good news is that there's no lack of punch at all compared to a regular 34" scale instrument. Again, the low B is remarkable good.
This bass comes with a set of Delano Single Coil and Humbucker pickups. There's a 3 way switch for Single-Parallel-Series operation on the back pickup. Couple this with a great sounding 2 band active preamp an you'll get a really versatile bass.
We chose the TCS (Tone Chamber System) for this bass. This cosists of strategic routings on the body. The result is an ultralight bass.
To sum up: a great looking bass that plays very easily, is ultralightweight and sounds terrific. What more could you ask for? Oh yes, a cool price tag. Well, it has that too... We love it!
What's really interesting about Maruszczyk basses is that you get a bass with an excellent value for money (nobody is offering this quality for this price, honest) and you can also decide the specs of your personal bass, just like any other Custom Shop bass but with a really short build up time of just 8 weeks and an amazingly low price tag. There's no upcharge for the custom process (the final price of course depends on the specs themselves), and this also sets Maruszczyk basses apart from the rest.
The ordering method is simple and fast (again different to almost any other Custom Shop process): contact us and let us guide you through the different models, options and specs. We'll get back to you in 1-2 days with a price quote including shipping. Once we get your deposit (30%) we'll start the process and you will get your custom bass in 8-9 weeks.
We always have a number of excellent Maruszczyk basses in stock at all times at the shop for immediate shipping so if you don't want (or cannot) wait, just choose one of these and you'll get it in the next day or days (depending on where you are based). Our selection of in stock Maruszczyk basses is based on the most popular models with the specs we think are better suited for each one of these models.
