althebassman Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 So I didn't end up watching Eurovision, however a couple of friends notified me about a rather interesting bass that was played in the "Planet Percussion"(?) ensemble, and I was wondering if anyone had any info on the beauty.[attachment=192816:Screen Shot 2015-05-24 at 09.42.47.png] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I watched this with my other half, who sings in my band & is very supportive of my GAS habit. She says: "What's that he's playing". Me: "Quite possibly the most disgusting bass I've ever seen". Not a whole lot of help, I know... Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Another thread elsewhere said 'marleaux' and it rang a bell. I didn't pursue it after that. I think it's their marmite model. Here's a very happy looking gent playing one http://www.marleaux-bass.com/custom-mades0.html Edited May 25, 2015 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah I thought Marleaux at the time but didn't look any further. Have to say I thought the Planet Percussion thing was by some considerable distance the most entertaining music heard all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Doesn't look anything like Marleux M-Bass. Not a great singlecut shape that! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 https://instagram.com/p/3JXNS3uQfc/ Yeah, they make some beauties. Not this one though, in my opinion obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziphoblat Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Reinforcement where none was needed of my prejudice that all single cut basses look ghastly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudi8 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) its called the Contrabass model, the bass player is hieko jung, and you can buy one at thomann :http://www.thomann.de/gb/marleaux_violin_custom_6.htm for only 6800 euros Edited May 26, 2015 by dudi8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
