slapierro Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hello to everey Basschaters! here is a very good bass 5 strings from the german luthier: Gerald Marleaux but this bass comes from the USA, i need to tight my bunch of basses so i'm hoping that it will find good vibes in others hands, it's the first edition of the Consat Straight with only one p.u. but a big one:MM or Musicman style, -the fingerboard is in maple like the neck itself in a one piece which is pretty rare but this neck doesn't move at all, -34'' scale,24 fretts + a 0 frett,some measure in millimeter (sorry):45mm at nut and 78mm at the 24th frett,the neck enter deeply into the body bolts with 6 screws,the neck profile is fine under the hand not chunky at all and so easy to play! -the body is sculped into one piece Dibetou wood with a natural finish, -pickup is a Haussel MM german made with a very strong sound,a little bit like a Stingray 5 but with more hi-fi ehanced sound thank to the very good preamp whom brings crystal tone for the treble,but keeping a raw rockin' tone,so the layout is: volume,p.u.blend,treble medium and bass eq. boost/cut,a switch for doubler coil or single coil, another switch for active/passive, -the hardware is in brushed steel finish with E.T.S.bridge (one of the best made for basses), Gotoh tuners and Shaller strap-locks, the way for playing in the high register is very easy to do,the body shape is very compact and greatly profiled,when the bass is on your stomach it would be like to drive a F1 car race like if you seems to be with a competitive tools which urges to go farther, -any dive for the neck thanks to a minimized surface of the head, the bass is offer with a Deluxe hard case (ol' Fender style) or a Rockbag Premium gig-bag,it's a lutherie bass not a big production company,my price is 1030£ or 1200€ and no problem to send it to you, some pics (sorry i'm not a good photgraph): thanks to have read me [url="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n40/slaphappy_02_2006/?action=view¤t=CIMG1012.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n40/slaphappy_02_2006/?action=view¤t=CIMG1014.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n40/slaphappy_02_2006/?action=view¤t=CIMG1007.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n40/slaphappy_02_2006/?action=view¤t=CIMG1003.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n40/slaphappy_02_2006/?action=view¤t=CIMG1008.jpg"][/url] [url="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n40/slaphappy_02_2006/?action=view¤t=CIMG1004.jpg"][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macko1968 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I had the 4 string version, superb bass in every respect. A boutique Stingray for Stingray money, you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
