General

The Maruszczyk Jake is the epic culmination of the more than 40 years of experience of founder, Adrian Kuban-Maruszczyk. This bass is shaped by modern P-style punch and contemporary playing comfort. The distinct sound is mainly due to the chambered ash body which not only makes the Maruszczyk a little lighter but adds particular resonance. The bolted neck is sculpted from robust maple that sits snug in your hand while the more flat 12-inch fretboard radius plays with supple speed.

The Maruszczyk Jake: Classic Fullness and Modern Dynamics

The high-quality electric bass has been specially developed to excel in professional environments like the stage and studio but somehow manages to keep the price low. The Jake is mounted with a PC4AL split-coil from the ever popular Delano and ensures a full, classic P-style amplified sound with a kick of extra definition and more than enough dynamic response, so all the old-school grooves, as well as more modern, thunderous and driving bass lines, are given the voice they deserve.

Maruszczyk Jake c4p Natural Electric Bass Guitar
Wrote the following about Maruszczyk Jake c4p Natural Electric Bass Guitar
Ik heb deze bass nu bijna 2 weken en ik kan alleen maar bevestigen wat Marcel G. in oktober 2020 in zijn review schreef. Dit is inderdaad een uitstekende bass. 1,6kg lichter dan mijn Fender Precision maar qua sustain en klank moet ze hierdoor zeker niets inboeten, integendeel. Door de smallere en dunnere hals is het speelcomfort fantastisch. Ze is heel degelijk gemaakt en van degelijke hardware (tuners, brigde, pick-ups, knoppen,...) voorzien. De zero-fret is ook een aangename verrassing, de open snaren klinken toch net iets beter dan met alleen een kam in 'bone'.
Felicitaties aan Adrian Maruszczyk en zijn team, zij leveren prachtig werk.
Eén minpuntje : sinds ik deze bass heb, ga ik veel te laat slapen.

Wrote the following about Maruszczyk Jake c4p Natural Electric Bass Guitar
Dit is een verbazend mooi gemaakt instrument. Deze "Jake" is een dijk van een P-bass. De body is perfect gevormd en voelt heel glad aan. Een heel mooi stuk hout. De hals voelt erg goed en heel comfortabel. De hals is vrij dun, vergelijkbaar met een J-bass hals. De frets zijn prima afgerond en heel nauwkeurig. De stemmechanieken voelen goed en degelijk aan en de bridge is stabiel en schitterend gevormd. Kortom een heel soepel spelende bass.
De sound is precies wat je van een P-bass mag verwachten. Deze bass pushed, is aanwezig in de sound van je band en de pick-ups zijn muisstil. Geen knor of brom te horen. Totdat je de snaren aanslaat, dan is laat deze bass van zich horen. Helder of juist diep en rond, helemaal afhankelijk van de setting van je toonregelaar. De fret bij de kam is een leuk detail, het verkleint het verschil tussen open snaren en dezelfde noot een snaar lager. Het verkleint het verschil, het is er nog wel. Voor mij een perfecte aanvulling van P-bass tussen mijn J-basses
