Many things have happened since last time I posted. The bass was about to leave the warehouse , but one of the stew... truss broke ..Tom was mad , I was disapointed. It seems that it wasn't the first time it happened with this brand , he hasn't forced yet it broke. Anyway , after some : fretboard (and veneers) unglueing , returning back to the good old single truss rod in the middle (but another carbon rod in the neck) , putting back new veneers , then a new piece of ebony as a fretboard , shaping my initials again , sanding , putting the frets , and re-finishing the body (finish had suffered some damages during the process). She's now stabilizing again and waiting for final setting , this time it's a different truss rod brand. But I'm still waiting :).

A little comparison with the warwick , the marceau has a slightly more play time but it gives a good impression of the character of the two beasts ! The Singlecut sounds more vintage with that "woody", warm feel , the warwick sounds more modern. The Marceau is switched to single coil (Marceau Pickups) ,alnico 2 magnets here, full passive / warwick is passive anyway , but ceramic magnets (MEC passive , dynamic correction). I don't know what part wood has in the sound , but the ash bodied 'wick definitely has a mid scoop when compared to the sapele bodied Marceau when played acoustically..When plugged it seems that magnets and pickups placement have a big impact but don't erase the acoustic properties of the basses. They definitely have their own identity. (And yes , strings are rotosound swing 66 on both basses)
