So I´m going to revive this club or what?
Here´s my beautiful Consat 5, my first but definitely not my last Marleaux!

Have been to the site. Best sound clips I have heard on a bass site. So good I actually downloaded a bunch of them and listen to them.
I love the sound of their basses.

Thanks for getting Number two of this club. I just wanted to add some pics of me with my Consat and a link with me playing it.

Does this make me #3?

[chris lykins]

I have two consats so I need to post a pic of the girls. Im dying to try a Votan but have not seen one in the states yet

I think their selectable preamp is the best preamp on the market! Gritty rock tone, check, high-fi jazz, no problem!

I have the programable eq on mine and I love it. Marleaux have such unbelievable tones to them. I can't wait to get another one.

I've played a couple, but never owned one. Sweet basses!

[BigRedX]

I tried a Consat fretless several years ago and while it was a really nice bass, it wasn't 100% what I was after, and at the asking price it needed to be.

However if I came across one of their Pagelli-licensed designs, I'd been much more tempted!

Hi everybody !
I play Marleaux since Gerald and Tillmann started making them(1990), and I stil didn't switch cause I couldn't find anything better. Over the years I'v owned and played over 25 Marleaux basses(wholesale/endorsement deal with Gerald). Have been in workshop couple of times and was watching them making basses.
Currently i have 2 pieces. Photos are on myspace. Hope to have some interesting chats with you guys

Just some photos of "the other woman" in my life. This is the only one my wife accepts.

[cosmicevan]

don't have them any longer, but at one point in time, i had these 2 bad boys in my possession.









i've had the pleasure of playing at least 2 dozen different Marleaux basses (between a job at custom bass shop and attending a musik messe). You really can't say enough good things about the craftsmanship of these instruments.

Hi Everybody!!! I would like to present my fantastic Consat Custom and join the club!
I really wanted a "custom" marleaux, so I wanted nor the usual exotic wood, I prefered a"snow white" high gloss !

Now that is the sweetest Marleaux that I've ever seen and I am extremely jealous. It's just so understated!

Basically, I don't like 'coffee table' basses (sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone here with that phrase - it's just such an easy way to describe exotic woods/gold hardware type basses ) and I can only manage with 4 strings, so a painted Marleaux would be my choice. White with black hardware is such a cool combination, too .

Like several others here, I've never played a Marleaux, but I do have a promo CD with sound clips of all of the models on. The tone of the Consat is really something to behold - beautiful!

There are so many basses out there, which I would like to own one day. A Marleaux Consat is definitely in the Top 10 .

[amimbari]

I always wanted a Consat because of the body, and could never afford one

seeing that white one made me drag out this pic:



does this thing count as a 1/32 of a Consat?
