\"Maruszczyk<\/p>\n

This week we take a look at the Frog Omega Europe 5 bass from Maruszczyk Instruments, a custom instrument designed on the company\u2019s Frog series.
\nBuilt on an alder body, the bass a quilted maple theme, with the figured wood being used for the top, fingerboard, headstock, and pickup covers. The set-in neck is made of hard rock maple. The bass is finished in a high-gloss charcoal burst for a beautiful smoky look. The hardware is finished in chrome, and includes a Monorail system bridge. <\/p>\n

The Frog Omega has has a pair of BassCulture pickups, with a humbucker in the bridge position and a stacked single-coil in the neck position. Active\/passive 3-Band Glockenklang electronics round out the bass with 5 knobs- Volume (push\/pull), Balance, Bass, Mids, and a Treble control that doubles as the passive tone blend.<\/p>\n

Though based out of Germany, Maruszczyk basses are handcrafted in Poland by Mensinger. This particular bass sells for around \u20ac2,190 (approx. $3,030 USD). For more info, visit the Maruszczyk Instruments website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
