kodiakblair Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Get a look at this fretless folks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231438662437?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l4455&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI231438662437.N7.S1.M1259.R1.TR4 I've saw the H.K brand before but think they were cheaper models. The finish on this looks fantastic,shape's not to shabby either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) That looks a LOT like a Marleaux Consat bass. Just had a look at the spec - not bad at all. Kent Armstrong pickups, Wilkinson hardware, it even comes with a set of DR Hi-Beams on. Edited January 6, 2015 by RhysP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Pretty sure I remember a bunch of nice-looking Marleaux knockoffs on Ebay 5 or 6 years back - that would've been around the same time the German HK brand started turning up, so this is likely one of that batch. Some of their other basses were quite interesting too - seem to remember a double-neck Steinberger copy. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 "Shipping: Will ship to Guernsey." So that's alright then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I can't see why it appears to be fitted with a adjustable nut - when it has a zero fret? Pointless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]True - I wouldn't like the height of a fret there on mine, the strings practically start at zero - on the fingerboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblueplanet Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Definitely a Marleaux lookalike. Are you sure its a zero fret and not just a painted fret line like the rest of the neck? Looks that way to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Definitely a zero fret if you zoom in. Maybe it's been defretted? Either way an adjustable nut is a bit pointless with a zero fret (or vice versa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
