Maruszczyk Elwood 32"

We always try to have some medium and short scale basses at the shop.

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.

This bass comes with a set of Maruszczyk handwound Single Coil pickups and we have to say these are among the best we've ever heard in this category. It sounds wonderful and plays like a dream. We opted for 100% passive electronics in order to preserve the vintage tone.

We love the Antique Turquoise matt finish. So cool.

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 motto 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 Maruszcayk basses. This means you won't be charged extra money just because a paticular component of piece of wood is a bit different. Yuo 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.
