Just become aware of this via the USA/TalkBass Forum.
Not sure of the best place to put this, but I'm sure it's wanted (back) by Gerald (Marleaux)
Could well appear somewher ein EU (or UK) so make a note of the look / serial number (1511)

Marleaux Consat Signature 5-string stolen at Musikmesse Frankfurt!!!
Dear friends of Marleaux basses, on Musikmesse Frankfurt somebody has stolen a bass from my good friend Gerald Marleaux :-(! It happened during the night from Thursday, 11.04. to Friday 12.04. Here are the details of this bass (better pics are following):

Marleaux Consat Signature 5-string fretted bass
Serial number: 1511
walnut body, cottonwood top
bold on neck in birdseye maple with strong texture (many, many birdseyes)
ebony fingerboard with maple binding and mother-of-pearl inlays
two Delano Humbucker pick-ups
golden hardware, high gloss varnish

You can help us in sharing this (as well in Bass forums around the world!) and in keeping your eyes and ears open!

We appreciate all helpful informations!

You can contact me or directly Gerald Marleaux:

It's always a worry... having done shows, it's the unwritten law that you know everything is going to be as you left it in the morning... but there is always that worry in your head until you get back to the stand and see everything in place.

Tough times, hope they find it and the f*cker who touched it. To get something out of Messe is quite a mission... and this sounds like it could have been somebody who should have been in the circle of trust :/
