Shergold Marathon 4

[Maude]

Well it had to happen one day. For a long time I've had low level GAS for a Hayman or Shergold and that GAS built up and finally released when @AndyTravisput his Marathon up for sale.

 

I've got an Eastwood Hooky 6 which is a faithful copy of the Marathon six string bass but I just fancied an original 'Hand Crafted in London' Shergold four string, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. 

A very Precision bass like tone but a touch more aggressive maybe, like a tiny smidge of Rickenbacker had been infused in a P. A bit of overdrive and you're in JJ Burnel territory.

Tone down and it's still got plenty of vintage thump. Just lovely. 

 

Enough waffle... Pictures! 😁

Lush bass - enjoy it!
