I've never played a Marlin bass, so can't comment - someone on here will be able to either recommend or not though. For an entry level bass, there are loads available, and the quality of some is very good for the money. Yamaha, Ibanez or Squier (avoid the Affinity range) are all decent at the less-expensive range. https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/yamaha/guitars/bass/ https://www.gear4music.com/Bass_Guitars/Ibanez_Bass_Guitars.html https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/squier/squier-jazz-basses?#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& https://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-bass-guitars?page=0#&auto=true&b=68&cat=30 Good luck! 👍🏼

Vous êtes un twerp! Un twerp Belgiqué!

Do it! The build quality is the best I've ever seen.

I'm not sure! I haven't taken a screwdriver to it yet Can't see anything in the blurb, but I think you're right, it probably is for the adjuster. I'll report back when I've found out 👍

When I played it through an amp, it was very quiet when I had the volume on low, and very noisy when I turned it up! To my ears, the bass has a round tone with a bit of growl soloing the neck (P) pup, the J pup soloed has a much more thin & toppy sound as you'd expect. The tone selector gives you the choice of both pups in series or parallel. In series, there's a lovely punchy tone with plenty of depth. However, in parallel is for me where this bass comes to life. Very growly, deep sound with a bit of top-end presence, and a darkness to the sound which I love. Very pleased

Thanks GuyR. The neck profile is very similar to the 'C' shape on my Jazz - maybe a wee bit skinnier. Godin describes it as 'Series Standard', which tells you precisely naff all! With the satin finish, it's very comfortable. 12" radius on the fretboard. From the brief time I've had to play it it's very quick & easy to play.

It's where I store the tears of all those who've taken the P, after I play the bass to them as a punishment.

1 - ALL plectrumses are unwanted in Chez Teebs; 2 - Twerp!

Heathens! The lot of youz!

It's pretty! Blurb: 5 Chambered red cedar body (makes it light as anything!); Carved swamp ash top; Maple Neck with rosewood fretboard; 38mm nut width (jazz stylee) Graphtech nut; Seymour Duncan Quarter-Pounder SPB P Bass & J Bass pickups; Controls: Volume, Tone, 4-way selector (1=neck pup 2=both in series 3= both in parallel 4=bridge pup); Hi Gloss finish to body; Satin finish to neck. Schaller straplocks as standard.

Makes sense. I don't know about the technical side of doing it though. The only active bass I have is a Westone 1A Thunder, which has a toggle switch to turn on the 'activeness'.
