William James Easton Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Anywhere between 6-10 years ago when i was a subscriber to the old BGM. I read a review for a Marleaux 4 string with a natural finish. I thought to myself, "thats a sexy looking bass one day i will get one." I just realy liked the shape! Well years on i could still never afford one but decided to have a looksie of those lovely curves to show a friend who wanted to see this bass but cant find a picture anyehre. cant remeber the mdel or anything. Had a look at the web site, dosent seem to be a current model. All i can see is the MBass [url="http://www.marleaux-bass.de/eng/baesse/mbasscustom.php"]http://www.marleaux-bass.de/eng/baesse/mbasscustom.php[/url] where the top half of the body is the same shape. but the bottom half was like erm.. short fat horn?!?!?!?!? maybe. edit - and the head stock was more jazz like....maybe If anyone on the off chance has got a clue what im talking about then please post a pic or give me a model number. I will love you forever. Regards P.s funny how crap like this just pops into your head one morning!

SteveK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Are you sure it wasn't a [url="http://www.marleaux-bass.de/eng/instrumente.php"]Consat bass[/url] Tried one several years ago in The Music Store in Cologne, very nice and very nearly bought one. Doesn't have a jazz head though. Not sure about the MBass - that's one ugly..... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjamm Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I've followed Marleaux for a number of years now and don't recall what your describing... Unless it was the Marleaux Pagelli that was about for a little while? Might be worth contacting Gerald at Marleaux, he's an approachable chap!
