Marleaux Consat Custom 6-Saiter Bass

DEFINIERT. CHARAKTERSTARK. EDEL.

„Beim Marleaux-Klassiker ist kein Instrument wie das andere – allein der Kundenwunsch bestimmt die Optik und den Sound des Consat Custom. Hierfür stehen unzählige edle Hölzer und verschiedene Bauweisen zur Auswahl.

Alle Komponenten des Basses werden speziell für Marleaux Bass Guitars angefertigt. Höchste Qualität bei der Verarbeitung garantiert die perfekte Bespielbarkeit und einen vielseitigen Sound. Kenner loben den durchsetzungsstarken, sustainstrotzenden Ton, der mit ausgewogenen Bässen, Mitten und Höhen auf allen Lagen des Griffbretts definiert anspricht.“

Baujahr: Ende 2009

Technische Daten:
Korpus: Ahorn
Hals: 3-teiliger Ahorn-Hals („bolt-on“ 6-Punkt verschraubt!)
Griffbrett: Ebenholz (ebony)
Mensur: 34“
Bünde: 24 (inkl. Nullbund) EVO-Gold Neubundierung!
String spacing: 18mm
Decke: Olivesche mit Silberfüllungen!
Pickups: 2x Nordstrand „Big Splits“ (Singlecoils)
MIDI-Pickup System: Roland GK
Elektronik/Preamp: Original „Marleaux BC3“ 3-Band Preamp (Bass, Mitten, Höhen), Volume, Pickup Balance;
Original Marleaux Gigbag inkl.!
Optional: kann eine Ebenholz (ebony) Ramp mitgeliefert werden (momentan nicht am Bass installiert)

Zusätzliche Infos:
Der Bass wurde kürzlich komplett neu bundiert. Hier wurden ganz spezielle, hochwertige „EVO Gold-Bünde“ verwendet! Diese sind 1) sehr langlebig und “strapazierfähig“, 2) komplett Nickel-frei (ein großer Vorteil, insb. bei Nickelallergie, etc.)
Des weiteren wurden die Original-verbauten Pickups (Delano Soapbars) durch Nordstrand „Big Splits“ ersetzt. Durch vielfältige Live- und Studio arbeit war mein Empfinden, dass die Delano PUs etwas steril klangen und teilweise im Mix oft etwas untergingen (harsche Höhen, schwammige Bässe, blecherne Mitten) und vom Grundcharakter eher auf der dunkleren Seite. Die neuen Nordstrand (spezielle Singlecoils!) haben den Bass im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes neues Leben eingehaucht! Extrem offener Sound, sehr organisch, transparent - natürliche/durchsetzungsfähige Höhen (a la „Jazz-Bass“) und punchige, klare Bässe, natürliche Mitten;
Das Update hat dem Bass - der schon von Haus aus sehr genial ist - noch mehr raus geholt!

Ich habe sehr viele Bässe in meinem Arsenal und trenn mich nur sehr ungern von diesem Traumbass.

Marleaux Consat Custom 6-String Bass

DEFINED. STRONG IN CHARACTER. NOBLE.

"With the Marleaux classic, no two instruments are the same – the customer's wishes alone determine the look and sound of the Consat Custom. For this purpose, countless noble woods and different construction methods are available. All components of the bass are specially made for Marleaux Bass Guitars. Highest quality workmanship guarantees perfect playability and a versatile sound. Connoisseurs praise the assertive, sustain-bursting tone, which is defined with balanced bass, mids and highs on all positions of the fretboard."

Year of construction: End of 2009

Specifications:
Body: Maple Neck: 3-piece maple neck ("bolt-on" 6-point screwed!)
Fingerboard: Ebony Scale: 34" Frets: 24 (incl. zero frets) EVO-Gold rebundling!
String spacing: 18mm Ceiling: Olive with silver fillings!
Pickups: 2x Nordstrand "Big Splits" (Singlecoils)
MIDI pickup system: Roland GK
Electronics/Preamp: Original "Marleaux BC3" 3-band preamp (bass, mids, treble), volume, pickup balance;
Original Marleaux gig bag incl.!
Optional: an ebony ramp can be supplied (currently not installed on the bass)

Additional information:
The bass has recently been completely re-fretted. Very special, high-quality "EVO Gold Frets" were used here! These are 1) very durable and "hard-wearing", 2) completely nickel-free (a great advantage, especially for nickel allergy, etc.) Furthermore, the original pickups (Delano Soapbars) were replaced by Nordstrand "Big Splits". Through diverse live and studio work, my feeling was that the Delano PUs sounded a bit sterile and sometimes often got lost in the mix (harsh highs, spongy basses, tinny middles) and the basic character rather on the darker side. The new Nordstrand (special singlecoils!) have literally breathed new life into the bass! Extremely open sound, very organic, transparent - natural/assertive highs (a la "jazz bass") and punchy, clear bass, natural mids; The update has brought out the bass - which is already very ingenious by nature - even more!

I have a lot of basses in my arsenal and am very reluctant to part with this dream bass.
