philwood Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Hi, Im just putting out a feeler here to see if anyone is interested in this Beautiful German Made Marleaux M-Bass. I dont really need to say how lovely it is as you can hopefully see in the pictures. Its only 2 years old and cost £2500. I swapped the B-String tuner for a Hipshot D-tuner as I strung it EADGC for a while but changed back to regular BEADG. I do have the original schaller tuner but will ship with Hipshot installed. It has active 2band eq but to be honest ive rarely used the active because it sounds so good in passive mode. Also installed is the pickup 'ramp' but thats easily removable but i think it looks cool on! Anyway im looking for £1250 for this bass so please let me know if anyone is interested. Many Thanks Phil Edited June 7, 2008 by philwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjamm Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 PM replied to... Forgot to ask...does it have the coil-tap switch for the bridge pick-up and the passive tone control? If it does have the passive control, is that both an active and passive usable knob? Thanks Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jamie[/quote] Hi Jamie, Yes it does have coil-tap switch for the bridge pickup & passive tone control. The active is engaged from the volume knob being push/pull. Pull for active.
