fretmeister Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) EDITED TO FIX BROKEN PHOTO LINKS Can’t believe I’m doing this, but my back is knackered. For Sale: Marleaux Consat Custom 5 string. I’ve owned it since 2012 and I’ve played it in jazz and big band ensembles. It has the finest low B or any bass I have ever played, including Dingwalls. 34 scale, 45 mm nut. It’s 9lb +/- and well balanced. Delano pickups with a blend and a 3 band EQ that can be switched to passive. As it happens I prefer it passive. Ebony board. You will notice that some photos show fret markers and some don’t... they are little removable stickers. Took me ages to line them up! Drove me nuts! Specs are here: https://www.marleaux-bass.com/marleaux-bass_consat_custom.html There is is an extra strap lock position on the rear of the bass for use with double shoulder strap systems. If you bought one new today you wouldn’t get much change from £3000 I'm in Northants. I would prefer collection. I make a mean cup of tea for anyone who wants to try it. £1750 Ono. PRICE DROP to £1650.00 PRICE DROP £1550.00 PRICE DROP TO £1250.00 collection only FORGOT TO SAY: It will come with a Mono Vertigo gigbag. (£200 RRP) TRADES: I'd consider a trade for a nice lightweight Precision. Nothing active, just something that will sound old and thumpy with some flats on it.

fretmeister Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 Bump. Any offers before I try ebay?
fretmeister Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 Price drop to £1550. Will consider trades - try me. If you've got a EBMM Stingray 5 that weighs about 9lb (I know they exist as I have one already) then I'm definitely interested in that.

fretmeister Posted November 27, 2018 Author Posted November 27, 2018 Bump. Alas despite my attempts at physiotherapy etc my back will not be getting strong enough for even this modest weight bass. Try me with trade and Part-x ideas. 4 string Jazz types / 5 string Rays / Barefaced cabs / Marcus Miller amps. As long as it's light weight I might be interested.
Bassislife16 Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Do Marleaux reinforce the necks of their basses?
bearhart74 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) interested in a nice, light, custom, Brubaker 4? Edited January 2, 2019 by bearhart74
fretmeister Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Price drop to £1250.00. Still including the Mono Vertigo. Edited January 15, 2019 by fretmeister
fretmeister Posted February 4, 2019 Author Posted February 4, 2019 Bump. Would knock off £100 if you don't want the gig bag.
fretmeister Posted March 27, 2019 Author Posted March 27, 2019 I'm really getting back into 4 strings at the moment so I would consider a trade for a lightweight Precision. Nothing active / modern. Just a good Fender that will sound nice and thumpy with some flats on it. Ideally a dark colour + rosewood board.
fretmeister Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 Bump. There won't be any more price drops. It will either sell or it won't. So thanks for the sub £800 offers you cheeky goits, but no. I've had a lot of lovely basses offered in trade but nothing suitable so far. Please note it is an automatic 'No thanks' for anything 6 string, or fretless, or over 8.5lb. Also I do not have a budget to add. So if you want money as well as your trade offering, then the answer will also have to be no.
