We have been dealers for Marleaux basses for years. This has allowed us to check the amazing quality of these 100% handmade basses time after time. Dozens of wonderful instruments prove that the German master is right.
The value for money is simply unbelievable, comparing to basses costing 2-3 times more. There's simply nothing in the market with this quality within this price range.
This is a custom order bass and it is the Consat Custom Neck Thru model. Here are some of the cool specs:
√ Solid poplar wood (no epoxy used to cover the holes, amazingly organic look)
√ Black Burst finish
√ Neck Thru Construction
√ Ebony fingerboard with oval inlays
√ Matt chrome hardware
√ 100% handmade by Gerald Marleaux himself at his shop in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany
This is an incredible bass in all departments. It looks gorgeous thanks to the all solid poplar burl body with no epoxy to cover the holes.
It plays like a dream, is incredibly lightweight (it weighs in at just 3.3kg) and looks amazing. Consistency of sound is remarkable regardless of the string you play or the area of the neck where you are at. Simply perfect.
This bass sounds impressive in passive mode but actually the active EQ is remarkable too. Deep lows that never get muddy, incredibly musical mids and beautiful highs that are completely noise free even if you boost them to the max. Unbelievable.
A 100% handmade bass that will allow you to explore just about any musical genre and technique effortlessly and will make you grow as a musicial, warrantied.
