***SOLD*** : Marleaux Consat Custom 5 string with Mono Vertigo

fretmeister

For Sale: Marleaux Consat Custom 5 string.

 

I’ve owned it since 2012 and I’ve played it in jazz and big band ensembles. It has the finest low B or any bass I have ever played, including Dingwalls.

 

34 scale, 45 mm nut. It’s 9lb +/- and well balanced.

Delano pickups with a blend and a 3 band EQ that can be switched to passive. As it happens I prefer it passive.

Ebony board. You will notice that some photos show fret markers and some don’t... they are little removable stickers. Took me ages to line them up! Drove me nuts! 

 

Specs are here: https://www.marleaux-bass.com/marleaux-bass_consat_custom.html

 

 

There is is an extra strap lock position on the rear of the bass for use with double shoulder strap systems.

 

If you bought one new today you wouldn’t get much change from £3000 depending on options.

 

I'm in Northants. I would prefer collection. I make a mean cup of tea for anyone who wants to try it.

 

£1550.00 collected

PRICE DROP TO £1250.00

 

Possible trades or Part-X : Musicman Stingray 5 string bass under 9lb (I know they exist because I've got one!); A good lightweight Jazz bass, or maybe a good 7 string guitar as I still haven't scratched that itch with cash adjustment if needed. Not looking for FX or amps.

 

It will come with a Mono Vertigo gigbag. (£200 RRP) 

And here is a useful demo of one

Crikey this is cheap now...! 

If that order hasn’t gone in for an ACG fretless 5 and the deposit paid....

You need a nice fretted to go with the fretless!

Might be tempted with a swap for a good  Precision. 
Dark colour, rosewood board. Something that would do a good Pino with some TI flats.

If I lived in the area I'd be trying this out - I really regretted selling mine.
