philwood Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Selling my Marleaux bass which was £2500 brand new from the local music shop 3 years ago. This bass is in absolutely mint condition and as you can see from the photos it really is beautiful. Has a massive range of tones i have not experienced on any other bass at all and has a very low action. The eye-catchin "single cut" Marleaux shape melds playability with ergonomics. The mBass hangs perfectly balanced on the player in the ideal position. The unique wood construction "glued-through" is responsible for the mBass's direct tone with a big fundamental, an earty character and a warm timbre. To complete the the basses natural long sustain is a long list of woods selected for their sonic characteristics, from which the customer can design his dream bass. 3 piece maple "glued though" neck - 5 string matching headstock maple neck and birdseye maple 24 fret fretboard 3 piece ergonomically formed body with top wood (unsure what the wood is) wooden electronic cavity cover Circuit - Marleaux 2 band JB EQ with passive tone control Marleaux MM / SC pickup with ebony cover Hardware - black Schaller Finish - matte finish Sorry for the poor photo quality it was taken with a mobile phone. Asking price is £1400 for an instrument in mint condition. No trades sorry. Many thanks Edited October 12, 2010 by philwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
