Kriss Popovski Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Hi :-) Here is for sale a wonderful little monster - Marleaux Soprano. I bought it one year ago from eubassix (highly recommended seller/buyer), but since it is not in use I put it back on the market :-) I would say that the condition is perfect, almost "like new" - to be safe I will say one could find only very delicate signs of use... As you probably know this is a small bass guitar with the following parameters: Scale: 25" 4 string Neck: 3 piece maple neck , 6 point bolt-on matching head-stock Fretboard: 24 frets, 57 cm scale. body: "Consat" shape Delano pickups; passive original soft case "Marleaux" Edited October 12, 2017 by Kriss Popovski
Kriss Popovski Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Indeed. Thanks for the kind words :-)
CameronJ Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Very nice! What's the tuning? I'm guessing ADGC? Edited October 8, 2017 by CameronJ

ped Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1507474310' post='3385695'] Is it like the pitch of a piccolo bass? [/quote] EADG, Octave up.
CameronJ Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 My god. If this were a 5 string tuned BEADG an octave up it would be perfect for me, octave pedal junkie that I am!

MapMo Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Ok, i thought I was to stupid to press "add reply" two times...😬
Kriss Popovski Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 PM replied :-) Concerning the other questions thanks to the guys who gave answers on my behalf :-) Again - the tuning is EADG, Octave up Sound clips - I do not have a sound clip with that particular bass, but one can find several demos in youtube. Just write there marleaux soprano and they will popup :-) Cheers, Kriss

Spoombung Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) What is the nut dimension and the string spacing? Edited October 9, 2017 by Spoombung
eubassix Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1507532606' post='3386020'] What is the nut dimension and the string spacing? [/quote]according to my (old/original) specs the bass weighs 4.5lbs, has a 28" scale* (25?..22.5?), 1.5" nut, 10/19mm (nut/bridge) string spacing (although the ETS-'Marleaux' bridge spacing is adjustable). From the Marleaux site the dimensions are slightly different:- Scale: 570 mm / 22.44" Nut: 40 mm / 1.57" 12. fret: 50 mm / 1.97" 24. fret: 55 mm / 2.17" Bridge: 54 mm (2.13") / 18 mm (0.71") each string * not sure how I could have this so wrong (?) .. unless it's the overall length of the bass (?) - added a photo to demo size :- Edited October 9, 2017 by eubassix
Kriss Popovski Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Hi Eubassix, Thank you so much for the detailed answers you gave concerning the dimensions of the little monster....and it is undeniable truth that you are much more informed than I am :-) After all I am not a bass player at all :-)
Kriss Popovski Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 hi guys, I put the monster ON HOLD, because there is someone that is interested at this point :-)
