For those who don't know,
Marleaux basses are a boutique, high end brand from Germany; each bass is custom/hand-built (this bass would cost over $4000 new). Bass Player Magazine gave a rave review of an M-Bass Custom here:
Bass Player Review
This is a top-o-the line Marleaux M-Bass Custom six-string bass with a burl wood top, dibetou (like walnut) back, and maple neck with pau ferro fingerboard. "Glued through neck" singlecut design blends the best of set neck/neck though construction. 34" scale neck is a breeze to play and action is low with a set of D'addario Pro-Steels. The bass is in like new/mint condition - the only things I could find were a few minor scuffs on the body edge by the input jack. No other wear. Frets are in excellent shape with no grooves or flat spots Neck is very straight and truss rod works in both directions.
