Zakrzewski Basses
Custom Bass Guitars
Every Zakrzewski Basses custom bass guitar features a distinct body shape with an elevated top. The neck is designed specifically to avoid it being parallel to the surface of the body, which greatly affects playability, comfort and ergonomics. Under the fingerboard, on both sides of the truss rods you’ll find two carbon fiber reinforcement rods (one on each side). Their placement, strength and length were painstakingly designed by me to ensure smooth and precise truss rod adjustment. The Zakrzewski Basses bridge is also my design, from the ground up.
Zakrzewski basses consist of four models: Essential, Exclusive, Superior and Exclusive Fretless. There is also the Artists’ Instrument Series, where I present our endorser’s signature models and custom builds for my befriended Artists that can be replicated on order.
Apart from the custom commissions I do, there is an “In Stock” departament, where I publish information about instruments that are readily available – from the ones that are ready to ship at a moment’s notice, to the ones that are a few weeks away from being completed.
Every Zakrzewski Bass comes with a gigbag as standard.
Detailed info on all the models can be found in their respective sections.
Essential
Essential is the Zakrzewski Basses custom base model. The wood choices are limited to the most essential options, it features a single top and bolt-on construction. Aguilar OBP3 preamp comes as standard. It’s a fully professional instrument but the aesthetic options to choose from are indeed limited.
String configurations: 4, 5, 6

Fretless
This is my own concept of a fretless bass with a single top (several wood options). It features a chambered body and an ebony fingerboard. The Fretless is a passive instrument with two jack outputs. This way, you can mix your sound using two amplifiers separately for the piezo and the magnetic pickup.
String configurations: 4, 5, 6

Superior
Superior is our flagship model. It includes the largest wood selection of woods, comes as a neck-thru body construction in both singlecut and doublecut variants. There’s a double top veneer and a bottom veneer made of our top-selected exotic woods. The Aguilar OBP3 preamp is standard. This is by far our most customizable model.
String configurations: 4, 5, 6, 7
