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 made using the TCS (Tone Chamber System) methof which consists of making some routings on the body to remove weight and then add a top to cover it (in this case ash, the same as the body). The whole idea with this bass was to make it as 70's J looking/sounding as possible so we chose black block inlays as well as black hardware.
This bass comes with a set of active EMG pickups so you know you are getting a strong signal and really clear tone that is also slightly percussive. For the preamp we chose the excellent J Retro 01 unit by John East. We love this combination. You can get loads of great tones with the lowest noise ever and all the punch you'd always want. We love it.
