\"Marleaux<\/p>\n

Gerald Marleaux is a world-class bass luthier based in Clauthal-Zellerfeld, Germany. His designs bring together the highest degrees of form and function into 4-, 5-, and 6-string basses. <\/p>\n

Today we check out Marleaux\u2019s Consat Signature, the luxury version of his flagship Consat model. Standard features include a 3- or 5-piece birdseye maple neck with wenge strips, an ebony fretboard with 24 frets, and a 2-piece body of select burl wood. The bass is further adorned with mother of pearl inlays and a Marleaux logo in mother of pearl. <\/p>\n

Each component is custom made for the model with gold ETS hardware and a pair of humbuckers by Delano and a 3-band EQ. Since each bass is handmade, an array of options are available ranging from wood combinations, pickup combinations, colors, fretless, left-handed, and more.<\/p>\n

Marleaux describes the bass\u2019s sound as \u201cdetailed, boutique, transparent, and multi-faceted.\u201d Check out these demo videos:\n<\/p>\n
