This is the nicest bass that I've ever owned! Unfortunately, I'm moving to NYC and really need to downsize and save some money. You can get a really wide variety of sounds from this bass and it sits very comfortably on a strap.
I said "trades considered" but I'm pretty picky. I'd take a nice Musicman or Jazz bass with some cash for this!
It comes with a gig bag. Due to shipping costs and a bad experience, I really don't want to ship this beauty. I'm driving back and forth between Chicago and NYC a lot in the next few months and would be happy to drop it off somewhere in the middle. Let's talk! Here are the details:

This bass starts with a rich tone in passive mode and adds a host of tone shaping options in active mode. Plays smooth and effortlessly, qualities Marleaux has long been famous for.
The combination of an elegant single-cut design with a set neck produces maximum sustain and easy access to the upper frets. Sustain, attack and balance are all incredible. Because of the elongated upper body half the neck is stiffer and vibrates more vividly. The skinnier waist makes this single-cut bass lighter and more elegant. This construction makes a perfect balanced sound and an unbeatable B string for a 34″ scale bass.
