basscell Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Great looking bass! Is it a custom order or an older model? Haven't seen a Marleaux in this shape yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risk101 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Actually I think the JB was replaced with the Votan. The JB is pretty rare in the U.K. especially in 5 string. Very nice basses with fantastic tone! Frans Vollink of "acid" jazz/funk Tristan plays a deluxe version....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
