  • Maruszczyk Elwood 5p Birdseye Maple Fretless

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 good example of simple things being really effective.

This bass comes with a set of Delano Single Coil pickups which offer an impressive range of great sounds. The new Maruszczuk Toneformer 2 band preamp adds a lot of flexibility and you also get Passive tone in that mode. Lots of possibilities under your fingers.

The bridge pickup has the right amount of attack and growl. Just move just right hand position and touch and you'll get a thousand different nuances of tone. The neck pickup is surprisingly deep so a pseudo double bass is possible. Blend both for a more modern scooped type of tone.

The low B is strong and sounds with a lot of definition as is usually the case with these basses.

The matt finished bass just invites you to play it non stop.

To sum up: a really cool freltess 5 bass that plays and sounds like a dream and won't cost you a fortune.

Maruszczyk is one of the brands that we've been exclusive dealers for in Spain for a longer time. We've always loved these instruments and it is great to see that they do not just sit on their laurels but keep improving and growing. Every year we get a lot of new Maruszczyk basses and it is great to see that the quality and number of options just keep improving but the price tag remains incredibly affordable.

 Adrian Maruszczyk is a professional bassplayer and a true visionary when it comes to bass designing. The headquarters of his brand are in Aldenhoven, Germany. Maruszczyk's moto is "From Player to Player" and it basically means that they are bassplayers who really understand what bassplayers need and can react to those needs really fast. Just check Public Peace's Youtube channel and you'll find Adrian himself doing most of the demos of his basses. We love this personal approach.

 The basses are built in a small factory in Poland and Adrian Maruszczyk is really on top of the whole production system. For him it is simple: "if my name is on the bass, it has to be good".

 Right now these instruments are already considered as some of the best European made basses.

What other brands call "Custom Shop", "Custom Built", "Masterbuilt", etc., means just standard at Maruszczyk basses. This means you won't be charged extra money just because a paticular component of piece of wood is a bit different. You just pay what you get for, We love this honest attitude. Also each bass is made to order, meaning they are actually all Custom Shop Basses. No standard series here or runds of dozens of similar instruments. In short: these are Custom Shop basses at Standard series pricing.

PLEASE NOTE: When you order a new Maruszczyk bass you have two options:

1.- Order the instrument you see in our webshop (immediate delivery)

2.- Order a custom bass from us. We'll guide you through the whole process and will give you a quote of the bass with the specs you need. We ask for a 30% downpayment to start the building process. The balance due needs to be paid when the bass is finished and prior to shipping it to you. You can use Public Peace's configurator to get an idea of the options and pricing of your bass but this configurator doesn't show all the options so we recommend you contact us for advice. Also we've ordered dozens of Maruszczyk basses over the last few years so we are well acquainted with the different options available and you can benefit from our professional advice. Just send us an email and we'll help you out. Lead time is 10-12 weeks once the firm is order.
