C’mon boys and girls. You don’t know what you’re missing here. Stop fighting your flabby B strings and get this

I love Marleaux basses, but I look stupid trying to handle 6 strings… then playing the middle four 99% of the time. Oh well, at least I tried… GLWTS

For my dear UK fellow BCers worried about customs charges, let’s make it 800£. 950€ for EU fellas. And this is really the final price.

Baby one more time

Yep

Off-hold and up it goes!

I had a go at this one and it is really nice, comfortable and with a fast slim neck. The piezo works very well.

I have one Ibanez EHB in the short scale version and it’s quite amazing. Very much Status-like, reminds me of my long gone Kingbass but I prefer this to the coldness of graphite

850£. Can’t go lower, with the extras I think it is a fair price for a straight sale.

I live in Madrid, Spain. You’re welcome to check my BC feedback thread. cheers

Price reduction: 950£. You get a pretty mint 55-60 with your standard passive tones plus all the range of modern jazz sounds thanks to the East preamp, and easy battery change. I’ve had tens of great basses (including US Laklands) and this is the only 5-string I held onto, it is that good.

Did I mention that this beauty weighs only 3.4 kg?

19 mm at the bridge

Hi there For sale my last 5-string, a Lakland Skyline jazz type. A fantastic bass with a great B string, one of the best I’ve tried. I think this was a limited edition colour, a nice sparkly grey, but I can’t say for certain. Block inlays, binding, matching headstock, neck plays like butter. It also has an East pre. Changing the battery underneath the preamp was a pain, so I had a luthier route a flip cover battery compartment at the back, which is much easier. The preamp cavity was shielded too. It is in excellent condition, only a few very minor dings on the back of the body that don’t go through the finish. Weight is not outrageous for a 5-string at 4.5 kg. Shipping in Europe included. Non-EU destinations may face customs charges, that is on the buyer I’m afraid. Cheers!

Last chance for fellow basschatters of getting a Ritter at an unbelievable price before I explore other routes… cheers!

I know… up it goes again

One final attempt: 2300£ or 2800€. Shipping included. I won’t go lower for this beauty. straight sale only!

One of the few that I would still buy… need to sell my Ritter Cora first though

Here we go again

Beautiful

Now entering serious bargain territory... 2500£ or 3000€, shipping included!

It’s the season of giving, so let’s go for 300£ / 355€, all included!

I had one of these and it was really really nice, superb jazz tones

I have no way to know exactly, but I’d say 1 kg, according to my bathroom scales and the with/without bass method... I can’t record samples easily, but as you can see from the pickup placement it sounds deep and thumpy, a bit like a “sopran Precision”? The pickup switch allows for some variation too.

Hi there, got this here on BC a while ago but my Marleaux Sopran is sufficient for my mini-bass needs. Possibly the cutest bass you will ever own! For reference, the total length of the instrument is 60 cm. It’s in immaculate condition, and comes with its own mini-gig bag. Shipping anywhere in Europe included in the asking. I am located in Madrid, Spain, so UK buyers may face additional charges these days. Price in Euro would be 470€. More info in the previous ad: Cheers!
