  1. [size=4][font=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#141414]Here is my unused Marleaux Consat Custom 5 with a beautiful Flamed Pear top on a mahogany body.[/color][/font][color=#141414] A [/color][color=#141414]34" scale bass, very lightweight - 4.1kg, 45mm top nut, string spacing is 18mm but adjustable, has a zero fret, very slim neck profile making for a fast easy playing experience. Very ergonomic styling and lovely balance whether on a strap or sitting. Great, versatile electronics with an active/passive switch. Comes with a semi-rigid case, tools and documents.[/color][/size]

    I think it's got more to do with the fact that this bass has 29 frets so the fingerboard reaches all the way to the pickups.
    Great bass with many nice features and if I were living in your area Scooby I'd pop in for a try with an intention of purchase but alas, I'm not.

    A short flight away...quite close really

    Update: would seriously consider being reunited with a Warwick Thumb NT pre 1990...

    very nice bass, but neck picup very close vith neck, comfortable for slaping?
    [/quote]

    Very comfortable to slap, tickle and generally play every which way ! The slap technique does depend on the string height/action but I haven't found it a problem at all.

  4. [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]This beautiful piece of craftsmanship from Martin Petersen (Sei) was built in 2014 and is in superb condition. [/font][/color]
    [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]It's a 34" scale, top nut is 53mm, 17mm string spacing (adjustable), weighs approx 4-2kg, Neck-thru, Nordstrand pups with wooden covers, Aguilar OBP-3, GK-KIT-BG3 Roland MIDI system, blue LEDS. The bass comes with a Roland GR20 floor midi effects system and midi cable, that allows you to produce amazing amount of sounds - from the bizarre to the beautiful.[/font][/color]
    [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Overall, the bass is so easy to play and the neck profile is slim all the way along. The bass will be shipped in a thickly padded gig bag.[/font][/color]

  5. Just a quick word of warning if you're thinking, or may in future, purchase or trade anything from Spain. One of their biggest and main couriers are SEUR, which is part of DPD. They have the most pathetic and appalling approach to shipping that I have come across. Firstly, they failed to turn-up to collect the item in Spain. The Seller had to then travel quite a journey to actually deliver the parcel to SEUR. The parcel was to be delivered within 3-4 days. Their limited tracking stated that the parcel was 'in transit' four days after being taken to their depot. After contacting DPD UK, they confirmed that the parcel was still at the depot in Spain and that the 'in transit' message simply meant that DPD UK had been informed to expect a parcel - no mention of when or how! Now, seven days later, DPD UK assure me the parcel is still in Spain and a message from SEUR confirm that the parcel hasn't yet managed to leave their depot. They cannot explain why or precisely where the parcel is in their depot. Their attitude is "We have your money, we have your bass and you don't...tough".
    I have to state that the situation is not, in any way, the responsibility of the sender who went out of his way to get the parcel to SEUR's depot after they couldn't be arsed to collect it. It does make you think that it might be more expedient and less stressful to fly out to wherever you have sourced your item and collect it yourself - quite possibly cheaper too and you get a bit of a holiday into the bargain.
    Anyway, be warned, SEUR/DPD are a nightmare.

    How do these handle Low B or lower ?
    [/quote]

    Quote "...[font="Times"][size="4"]produces rich, deep, and powerful bass, right down to the open B string and even below. Transparent high frequencies, smooth mid range and overall dynamics provide punch and clarity. Slapped bass has a new snap; acoustic bass sounds pure and authentic. Your bass is going to sound like a better instrument." From Phil Jones [/size][/font]

    [font="Times"][size="4"]The cab handles the low B just fine but I cannot say for a note lower than [/size][/font][font=Times][size=1] [/size][/font][font="Times"][size="4"]that! :D[/size][/font]

    what about string spacing?
    [/quote]

    String spacing is a shade under 18mm. However this can be slightly adjusted either way using the unique bridge saddles. The bass can also easily be strung B-G or E-C without any problems - and still sounds awesome

  8. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Together these cabs can handle 800watts of power. I've used them at a rehearsal with a drummer, two guitarists and a keys player. I had the amp one third up and my bass half way. So much power on tap it's incredible! [/font][/color]
    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Covered a variety of tunes from ZZTop, Black Crows, KOL, Queen, Stones through to KIllers, Petty, Clapton and more. Can't fault the sound, power or amazing ability oft these cabs to perform way beyond expectations.[/color][/font]

  9. I bought Steve's Demeter amp. Unfortunately it arrived in a less than perfect condition courtesy of an over-energetic courier! Despite Steve's superb packing the amp had a fault, which was, unfortunately, irreparable. Throughout Steve was great to deal with, made every effort to sort the problem quickly, went out of his way to get the courier issue resolved and made a swift refund. A genuinely great guy to deal with...next time, Steve :D

    From Phil Jones: [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Today’s bass players demand more portable rigs without compromising performance. We embarked on the mission of a new compact bass enclosure that answers to their need. We did extensive research. We tested many different driver sizes from 5 to 12 inch and came to the conclusion that our 4x5” combination clearly supersedes all other loudspeaker configuration by direct comparison.[/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]The 4C cabinet may be small; yet it provides highest audio performance.[/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]The cabinet is constructed from Baltic Birch plywood. Rigid internal bracing keeps cabinet coloration to its lowest. The four 5 inch “Piranha” drivers are based on our Suitcase and 4B cabinet. They feature ferrite magnet structures for uncompromised dynamics, extended bass response and punch/attack. If your style is slap bass, this cabinet will show how good your slap tone is. It has much more: it produces effortlessly the true tone of any bass or player. You hear subtleties/nuances in your playing you never heard before and your sound becomes more inspiring to you, your band and your audience.[/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]The C4 has unmatched flexibility and portability of being used alone or stacked multiples.[/size][/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][size=4][color=#000000]The “Compact 4 Lite” is made for those who seek an ultra-light weight bass cabinet.[/color][/size][/size][/font][/color]
    [color=#666666][font=Cabin][size=3][size=4][color=#000000]“Neo Power” 5″ drivers were used in a Compact 4 cabinet constructed from Baltic Birch plywood.
