    +1 the figuring on the fretboard is pretty darn immense!! Olive wood should be used more, first time i've ever stopped scrolling to stare at a headstock pic

I reckon this would look great with a white pickguard, used to not like blue basses too but after seeing Dave La Rue play one similar to this I changed my mind.

    The No.1 Rock Bass

    That is one incredible looking bass, we need a semi acoustic bass thread in the gear porn if there isn't one already

    Lurvely woulda bitten your arm off if it was Rosewood and I would have changed the pickguard to white +1 best price! Bargain indeed.

    Schnozzalee replied to Platypus's topic in Feedback

    Further adding to the mass of positive feedback, I received a gorgeous fretless stingray following a super quick bank transfer in part exchange for my Marleaux 5. Hassle never came into it, great communication and more than likely the easiest transfer i've had to date! Thoroughly recommended and wouldn't think twice about dealing with Paul again (not that I did the first time!). Thanks again Paul, looking forward to your review on the Marleaux!! Best Regards Oli

    The 4/5 times i've played a 5 or 6 string I've never really used the B, only as a thumb rest or instead of drop Eb/D tuning.

    [quote name='bubinga5' post='1089871' date='Jan 14 2011, 09:28 PM']The best most comfortable 5 ive ever played was a Sting Ray 5, comfort, punchy tone..effortless... .. going from 4 to 5 was fairly easy. going to 6 was a little more time consuming.. i always found a wide neck more difficult.. my ultimate 5 string would have a very narrow, jazz like neck, with 18/19 string spacing at the bridge..[/quote] Your next for a Marleaux then!

    Crazy to want to trade! I saw jethro tull's new bass player playing a six string fodera for Bouree lol
  11. Schnozzalee
    I thought I did but close up, maybe not! Its a shame the finishes are so limited.
  12. Schnozzalee
    Yep far far to expensive for the quality. You'd think that this would be the natural progression for Fender but once people buy a P they want a J to go with so why combine best of both worlds? When they do they rinse ya!! £2600!! G&L already do what this does but they ain't as pretty and not all have jazz necks. I'm so glad the they brought out the HMV bridge, who would opt for badass engraved on their instrument?? apart from a teenager.

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1089380' date='Jan 14 2011, 02:32 PM']obsessing over minute tonal variations which will be lost in the mix? No ta! I'd rather stick to a single split coil pickup and hold down the low end. But that's just me.[/quote] Got to agree with Jean on this one, the idea is lovely and great fun for the bedroom player. I used to obsess about tone until everyone I knew couldn't tell the difference between 5 of my basses unless they played as well. Now I just worry about build/playability and if it cuts through
  14. Schnozzalee
    Argh!! I wish people would stop putting Overwater's up, i'm trying to focus on guitars!
  15. Schnozzalee
    Love any candy apple red. I'm liking the jackson, very hair metal just needs a graphic on the pink/fiesta red for me
  16. Schnozzalee
    Who is that?? Always wanted a Meidl Warwick

    [quote name='theplumber' post='1085856' date='Jan 11 2011, 06:16 PM']As Lemmy and Rickenbacker go hand in hand....why a Fender?..........he would have been as well signing the drum kit.....or...roll up roll up......come and get your overpriced kazoos signed by Mr Kazoo himself....Lemmy![/quote]

    Back up at £1200 + P&P. I'm adamant to get this back so part exchange options have to reach this (at least ) . It is a very low chance you'll get me on a trade as I like the vintage settings I get on the Marleaux. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGzcZHrixrk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGzcZHrixrk[/url] Here's a chap playing a fretted version, the guy with the camera looks away when he hits the B string half way through to look at the guitars but he comes back. You can hear its an ultra defined 34" B though. Soundclip of it fretless up top. 7.7lbs of sheer flawless quality!
  20. Schnozzalee
    Really really nice finish!

    [quote name='obbm' post='1082749' date='Jan 8 2011, 11:32 PM']My headless ACG Harlot is certainly rare as it's the only one like it. [/quote] Like it! I love unusual basses, totally skipped buying or owning a fender style bass because they didn't stand out enough for me. However, I wouldn't have had so much trouble selling up if I had taken the popular route, selling my Kubicki was a mission and a half - wouldn't mind owning an another though. I'll never learn.

    [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ayLvWRUqI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ayLvWRUqI...feature=related[/url] The Vincent Maurogiova Signature by Wood and Tronics, my favourite bass to date. Sorry, I couldn't find a picture of one although there was a chap selling one on here not too long ago.
  24. Schnozzalee
    I like have an active/passive switch. Long practice sessions I like passive and gigs I like active.
  25. Schnozzalee
    Some more interesting offers on this Ricky-esque Marleaux, still no one taking it home though...
