Marleaux Consat 4 String - SOLD

[philwood]

Decided to sell my gorgeous handmade custom bass crafted in Germany - see Marleaux website for details [url="http://www.marleaux-bass.de/marleaux_home_eng.html"]http://www.marleaux-bass.de/marleaux_home_eng.html[/url].
Im not entrirely sure what the body woods are but the body seems to be mahogany and the top some kind of spalted (excuse my ignorance i should email Marleaux and ask!). The neck is maple and the fingerboard is ebony. The hardware is vintage gold which is nice as ive found the 'normal' gold hardware tends to tarnish after some time, but not the case here. 34" scale length, bolt on neck, active 3 band eq, active/passive switch and pickup pan. Comes with hardcase. A lovely bass to play and I will try and answer any questions as best i can or supply more photos. This bass cost £2100 from a local music shop only 5 months ago and is as mint as the day i bought it.
My reason for selling is i really really need to upgrade my rig so ive put a deposit down and need to come up with the rest of the cash! I already own a nice 5 string M-bass which i play most of the time anyway.

Asking price is £1350.

Thanks for reading!
