Thanks, it sure is! People seem to think that, just because it is pretty, it cannot be a player... but everyone who has tried one knows better... By the way: you DO need two of them, sure! :-) ... just imagine something happened to one of them...and I also believe you would then have more than 1% ... in 12 years, I am sure some of them got destroyed...

Update: String spacing at bridge is ca. 19 mm

Price Drop: 1190 £

No More Trade offers, please! I hate disappointing fellow Bass Players...!

Sorry! - I forgot... It is 4.3 kilos. Just measured with my bathroom scale (which I in my opinion always reads wayyy more than it really is ;-) ).

Can't do it...

I am selling my Marleaux Votan XS 5, a J-type 5-string built by german luthier Gerald Marleaux. The XS is the updated version of the Votan, which features Delano Xtender pickups. The XS has two Delano JSBC single coils, for a more traditional J-sound. It is also a little smaller and lighter than the original Votan. Gerald calls the color "Ivory Green" - basically a Vintage White with a subtle "green-blueish" tint... The bass comes with two pick guards: the one shown in the pictures is black, the second one is a grey-blueish tortoise. Specs: - 34" scale - string spacing at the bridge is 19 mm - one-piece Dibetou body - bolt-on, one piece maple neck with rose wood fingerboard - 22 frets plus "zero fret" - 2 Delano JSBC single coils - 2-band EQ, active/passive, with passive tone control - chrome hardware - weight is only 3.8 kilos! - Excellent condition, except for one small ding above the pickguard I will be happy to take more pictures on request. The bass comes with original Marleaux gig bag (made by Canto) and tools. Located near Munich Germany... I will be happy to ship. 1450 £ / 1850 € (plus shipping, if needed)

Thanks, guys, for the explanations and free bumps... The "slap tone thingy" is called the "Slap Contour" feature, and all 2002 Limiteds have it. Works great! I hope I find a good home for him...

Make me an offer...!

Price drop: 1250 GbP / 1550 Euro plus shipping from Germany

Sold!

Go for it! Much cheaper than a 63 P ;-)

You're right! That's funny - I haven't even thought of that... Well, once this one here finds a happy new owner, and my Wick is gone, too, I'll have to seriously consider that... thanks for the hint!

Price update! 1,660 £ / 2,050 €

How about a (almost new) Sadowsky MV4 VTC?

Still for sale...

I was right... It is #162 of 200 - and a very nice looking one, too!

Hi! I am currently traveling abroad and the bass is not with me... if I remember correctly, it is number 162... this is also written on the back of the headstock - but the picture isn't clear enough. I will verify the 162 when I am back.

Thanks, 72! It is a great bass and, yes. it is still for sale... All I am doing now with it is look at and admire it while I play 5ers... This one has the best looking top of all the 2002 Ltd.s I have seen: the proportion of the lighter part in the middle of the body just seems "right" in relation to the body... Yes, it does have the "Slap Contour" feature - wich I find great...

Now with pictures... more on request.

Updated Price: 1090 £ / 1390 € I am selling my Warwick FNA Jazzman - one of only 200 from the Limited Edition for Warwick's 20th anniversary in 2002. The most spectacular feature is probably the top which is made of Swirly Bubinga : Warwick had started collecting and storing this wood years before especially for this Edition. Ovangkol neck and palisander fretboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. Hans-Peter Wilfer (founder of Warwick) has personally signed this bass on the back of the headstock. The bass has the Warwick signature growl, 2 MEC (Large Pole MM & J) Pickups, nice to adjust with 3-Band-EQ and "Slap Countour" activation through pulling the violume poti. 3way Miniswitch for the MM-HB (Serial, Parallel, Single Coil). Top condition, comes with Warwick user kit (only the bee wax is out, which is good news, as the bass has been well taken care of) and certificate. The instrument is located in Munich, Germany, but I will be happy to ship. 1190 £ / 1490 € plus shipping. No trades! Will take more pictures on request.
