bassjamm Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, Just thought i'd see if there's any interest for my fretless Marleaux...i love it, but i don't play it all that much at the moment and i've seen some tasty basses that i fancy...however i may withdraw this! I bought it new about a year ago...i'd be looking for £1295. Bartolini pickups, marleaux 3 band eq, passive/active switch, lined fingerboard, excellent condition. [attachment=8874:Bodyshot_original.jpg] Thanks Jamie Edited July 20, 2008 by bassjamm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Bump for a great bass (and a great seller). When I bought a Smith off bassjamm last summer (lovely bass, no longer mine) I got to try and listen to this beauty. I had previously found clips of Marleaux basses to be quite unrefined and nasal, but this bass really turned around my view on them. It can be refined, but it can grunt with the best of them too. Good price too! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The vid in my signature? Thats my Vigiers son. Thanks though ;0) The fretted has Marleaux electronics (3 band eq and pups) so maybe that is where you got your head in a muddle. Or your dreadlocks are growin inwards! I concur however that marleaux make superb instruments. Top of ze pile! ped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leloupa Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I won't trade or sell the consat 'fretless edition' for anything in the world.. An old Fender ? Worth thousands, but they sound like a 500 pound bass. Your Marleaux sounds and plays 100 times better ! I know, because i own 3 Marleaux consat custom 5strings beasts. I know, because i had about 50 different (some where very expensive) basses throughout the years. Still looking for more Marleaux basses to add in my collection, they are the best basses in the world ! ..especially the fretless ones.. !!!! Here is a nice article to read about it for you guys that are not so familiar with it = [url="http://www.doctorbass.net/en/producto.asp?id=1000170583&idfam=1000167721"]http://www.doctorbass.net/en/producto.asp?...dfam=1000167721[/url] I have a 5 string fretless edition (the one that is pictured on the marleaux website in the background downloads section), so i'll skip this one ! But please, you'll regret it..... DON'T SELL !!!! greetings from Belgium, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I agree that the 3 band eq is superb, I have one in my bass and it is really 'musical' and quiet. Brill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjamm Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 It's more a question of money mate...not quality. I don't need a bass this expensive for my fretless playing!!! As for the Marleaux's...i totally agree that they are up there with the best!!! I'm trying to track down an M-Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
