Jake and Elwood had best be watching out for the lawyer buddies of Leo - that's a near perfect Fender headstock ;)

FYI, Arni's got one of these that he's giving away in his 10 year anniversary contest. (The headstock's slightly different than a Fender, and looks more like an SX). I'm not sure how you go about entering or winning though, as it's not really clear what to do on his site:

I've played the one Arni is giving away, it was on display at a meeting of a Dutch bass guitarists forum where Adrian Maruszczyk had a display (along with several Dutch luthiers and amp builders and 'that other Polish company', Mayones) before it was given to Arni. I didn't like it... The neck had a good shape, but overall the bass felt very cheap and sounded overly bright to my ears. To make things worse it was set up way too low. Not my cup of tea.

It can be seen in this picture of the Maruszczyk-stand:

Adrian Maruszczyk told me, that these block-inlays
on the fretboard are prints.
So, one day the wood will shine through, i guess. :roll:
