[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1345370220' post='1776635'] Guitarist in my rock band uses (a black) one of these - utterly, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. [/quote] Agreed! Definitely gorgeous and this gold archtop is even more gorgeous (is there such a word as "gorgeousier" ?

Just for today I'm offering the Wolfgang for £750 - which is an absolute bargain but it does need to find a new home so, grab yourself a piece of history and a bargain

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' timestamp='1345192168' post='1774692'] I used to have a black one of these and it still irks me now that I sold it. They are superb - ultra reliable Floyd Rose too which isn't floating and ensures the thing stays in perfect tune. The neck is also probably the most comfortable neck I have ever played on a guitar ever. They really are that good. Considering these aren't made any more I'd snap this one up - the only reason I'm not is that I am broke at the moment [/quote] Have to agree - the neck is superb, as is the rest of the guitar

Gone to a new home ;0)

On its way to a new home

[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1344617694' post='1767269'] deal with pete with confidence did... i think 3 deals.... as easy as it can get... [/quote] Thanks, Pierre! We could always make it 4 deals

It's too hot to do anything but 'click' a mouse type of bump

[quote name='Janvier' timestamp='1344447047' post='1764724'] What!!!?? That's virtually giving it away! A bargain... [/quote] Thanks, Janvier! I'm not exactly 'giving it away' but at this price it is a bargain for a mint Marleaux bass. So, "roll up, roll up, folks and get your Marleaux here!"

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1344445221' post='1764678'] Hey Pete did this sell?? [/quote] Whoops, yes, sorry it went at the weekend. I forgot to amend the post. Thanks for enquiring.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1344287269' post='1762374'] I had a fretless one of these from Garbev, regretted shifting it - best bass of 30 odd!! Massively versatile (vintage tones included), super playable, no backup needed due to passive switch. The quest ends here. If I ever return to bass...no brainer. Value for money and solidly spanks a jazz no matter how old. [/quote] Thanks, Schnozzalee. Couldn't agree more! Marleaux basses are superb with great playability - slim neck profile, comfortable and sounds that other basses can only dream about ;0)) There are a couple of trade offers in the mix but if someone wants to make me a cash offer then let me know.

The 'Special' one has arrived! The Alembic needs a new home. Offers anyone?

Just found the bass magazine with the review (June 2010 Issue 55) for this actual bass so I will include the magazine with the sale

[quote name='___---___' timestamp='1343290945' post='1748263'] Where is this based? [/quote] The bass is 'based' in my back bedroom! Oh, and the bedroom is based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire

[quote name='BigJim' timestamp='1343147191' post='1746102'] I concur on this! It is going to be REALLY f'ing special!!! [/quote] I can't keep the secret any longer............... It's going to be a bass!

[quote name='fiatcoupe432' timestamp='1343152035' post='1746224'] one of my favorite!!!! bump for an amazing instrument!!! [/quote] Definitely an amazing bass - very clear, articulate sounds

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1343145450' post='1746049'] mind you your Marleaux looks good too! What's the 'one' thats replacing it? [/quote] I'll tell you what is to replace the Marleaux once I can sell it - it would be cruel to spoil the surprise now

Consat bump...

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1343063371' post='1744627'] Case of 'London buses', I'm in talks over another bass to replace my Streamer which is leaving this week. Had I not been engaged to spend that cash already, I would have had this straight away! [/quote] "London Buses" ?? NO, this is a Number 95OW9015 all the way from Santa Rosa, USA - they only run every few months or so
