SOLD Marleaux Consat Custom 6 Walnut EB 6 string bass, £2400£2215. I decided not to send it to a shop for a commission sale, but it is now on Reverb for £2400. I'd rather sell it here - and you get free postage (UK) EU buyers now welcome but will need to arrange courier pickup Maple body, walnut top, bolt-on maple neck, ebony (Dispoyros crassifolia) fingerboard, Dot inlays on fretboard, 24 frets, 34" scale. String spacing 18mm (I think this may be adjustable at the bridge but I've not tried). 2x Häussel pickups in wood housing, 3-band EQ, volume, pan, active/passive switch, three-way coil tap switch for each pickup (single/split/humbucker), black hardware, walnut headstock top incl. Marleaux gigbag and all case candy, including Allen keys and Thomann's professional photo of the bass. Made in Germany. Brought brand new from Thomann earlier this year. Near mint condition: I can't find any dings, dongs, scratches or other marks. My first 6 and a dream to adapt to with the 18mm spacing. Not gigged as such, but played at one church service, the low B was a delight through the PA - far more solid than most 5's I've played. Only selling because it's too getting too little use - I'll get a more modest 6 as I've loved learning some Bach pieces notated by Heiko Jung on his Marleaux Contra! Trial/collection welcome, I'm near Tonbridge about 20 mins from J5 M25. Free courier within UK, EU buyers welcome but will need to arrange courier pickup. Payment by BACS, or I can issue a PayPal invoice to Basschat members with a feedback history. Thanks for looking!

Good thing I'm out of vino or I'd be on this like a shot 🍷 Excellent Ps these and very versatile - Duck Dunn for sure but snarls with rounds. GLWS!

I briefly had a Moollon P in the root beer sparkle: it's an amazing colour! GLWS

Thanks Mick! Now on hold

For sale only: Fender Custom Shop Sean Hurley '61 Precision (2019), £2750 This is my second Fender Custom Shop Sean Hurley signature ’61 precision - I had sold my first one (in charcoal frost) to the mighty @Old Man Riva , who had prophetically wondered if I was sure - as I would miss it! Indeed Mick was right, and so when this one appeared secondhand at Bass Direct I snapped it up. Specs and condition It has a slab rosewood board, 1.75” nut width, 7.25” radius. Weight is 3.98kg. Full specs in the 'floorwalker' photo below. Relic-ing is on the back of the neck only, meaning it’s beautifully smooth and fast. The nitro finish on the body has some level faint ‘crackle’ lines but is otherwise un-reliced. Strangely when it arrived from Bass Direct the rocker mute was on the wrong way around (!), which has left a faint mark I’ve tried to capture in the photo - not noticeable unless you look closely. The rocker mute is a nice feature to toggle between muted/unmuted quickly, and is adjustable in terms of pressure applied to the strings. Personally I’ve left it ‘firmly on mute’ recently as I’ve been practicing Jamerson lines. I love the playability with the stock La Bella light flats, and it pairs beautifully with my Noble pre. Case has a couple of scuffs (see pics), but otherwise in excellent condition with keys and case candy including unworn Fender strap. A splendid bass, but having picked up a gorgeous Marleaux sixer for solo playing, and not gigging, it must make way! And yes, I will miss it Courier delivery (UK only) @£15, or come and test in Kent (approx, 20 min from J5 M25, near to Tonbridge/Maidstone). Payment by BACS or PayPal (buyer pays fees) My feedback thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/235157-kevsy71/ Pics Some demos of this general model - they sound very simlar to mine (except the playing!) A nice 'unmuted test': The man himself (with mute) …and without And a comprehensive test from Bruno Tauzin’s excellent “Bruno Bass” You Tube channel:
