I’m not a fan of single cut basses, but that one looks and sound great! I can see myself with a white one and w/lined Fretless fingerboard tuned EADGC! Just saying. Nice to dream.😌🎶🎸👍🏾
I like that he just used regular bolts for the bridge saddles. Super easy to get new ones if they ever wear out or otherwise break! It's not obvious how you wold intonate with that bridge tho, but I'm sure it's a simple task.
I play guitar and this bass guitar makes me want to play bass simply from the looks! It's really beautiful. I'm a sucker for sleek, thin designs though. The Ibanez S is my favorite and I've owned a few...
I love new ideas and technology applied to bass. This is an excellent proof of concept. And I always love hearing Lars and his face chops and bass chops.
Seems to be a somewhat odd set of frequencies rining out in the high end during the 'solid pop sound' section. Curious if that is an electronics issue, a small mixing error or a fundamental issue with this bass. Sounds good otherwise.
We couldn’t quite figure out what that sound is and where it comes from, but I addressed it personally with Marleaux and they’re looking to locate the issue and fix it
Great new concept! Very interesting. 32" scale rules! The controls at the back are maybe the most practical thing to have - at least the master volume should be at the front to be able to cut the sound when no mute switch is present on the amp or the pedalboard..... An "acoustic" loooking bridge on a solid body instrument is very nice (the new Godin RG4 Ultra bass uses also a wooden bridge - in that case for the piezo system), but way more challenging for intonation adjustment.
A very cool, interesting bass, but I don't know how practical it is having your controls on the underside of the bass, especially in a live setting. Seems it would be difficult to get between your gut and the back of the bass on the fly.
@@basstheworldofficial I loved that man :) I would definitely want to listen that if it was made into a couple minutes of a chill song. Great content, keep it up :)
Exquisite design & Sound! I’m betting that it would benefit to use it strung with some Black Nylon Flat Wounds though! ☝🏾🤨The Utmost Care is required to own and gig with this one‼️✨🎸🎶Marleau =Quality! 👍🏾😊ALL OF ‘em ,…Damn Fine Basses Period ‼️👏🏾🤣
In case you are not kidding: I respectfully disagree! If Leo, back the 50s, have had modern strings, pickups, tuners and wood working machines, I am quite sure he would have chosen 32" as the standard - and not 34". Sound-wise, 32" is for me the most homogeneous, balanced sounding of all bass scales (I have practically tested "everyhting" between 30" and 35"): not too dark and boomy and not too metallic, clear and twangy either. The Marleaux proofs this once more in an absolutely impressive way! If one wants a bass sounding like the low strings of a piano, one may get.....well, please guess....a piano (or a keyboard for portability) - as these are made for such sounds. Double basses don't sound like pianos either - so why an electric bass guitar should do so?
Lars rocks! your presentations are very enjoyable. I haven’t seen one in a while. Would you mind to always tell us how much the item costs? Also it’s a waste of taxpayer money to have a climate change department. If you guys cared about the climate you would not have decommissioned your perfectly working nuclear reactors. Sorry I got off on politics.
Sounds actually quite horrible to my ears. Especially the slap playing sounds are rather "uneven" / unevenly loud between the strings and even between the frets.
This is ugly and nothing new. For me the bass of the future is a bass with a computer inside of it with all possible sounds and tones and also programs to use it in a computer. I wonder why we don't have such bass yet.
Yes, those are absolutely terms used in propaganda. Even the "logo" looks familiar. 🤚🏻 😂 I've heard rumors of people in your area that failed to recognize propaganda some time ago... Has it been long enough to be forgotten already? 🤣 Those types of "terms" placed on "authoritative" groups, figures and their "policies" are specifically for those who believe that they get their "Rights" from other Men. Just like "law abiding citizens", "legally registered voters", etc. And many mindless others that need to be (G)overned, controlled and ruled over "for their own good". If people would start learning the origins and intentions of things, and what they mean, things would be much better everywhere. You don't really want a (G)overnment "entity" controlling musical instruments, and their costs do you? What could they possibly want from us next? You're welcome, *America.
Great concept from Marleaux. Probably the best 5th string sound I've ever heard on a 32" bass, it has more depth, definition and sustain than the ones from Serek (which they also sound great). However the piezo sound is always present and the characteristic "acoustic/metallic top end" on the sound is not my cup of tea.
This bass looks STUNNING, and I'm liking the design! The sound is a bit too modern & and hi-fi for my tastes, but that's just me. "You could send Marleaux a picture of your dog and they could Logic Mesh it for you..." 🤯 That's awesome! I wonder how many of these instruments are going to have Lt. Spock on the Logic Mesh? 😆🖖 "3.2 Kilos, which is 7 Freedom Kilos" 🤣 You get me every time with that, Gregor!
Awesome instrument! Don't quite understand how this design falls under "Climate Action". Aside from the thin layer of face material (which SEEMS to have little structural purpose) it is just a typical wood built chambered solid body routed all the way through rather than most of the way through. Marleaux's "Regio Tone Wood" option seems more significant as far as environmental/CO2 terms.
This might be a misconception. The “climate action” part is name of the ministry, but that has nothing to do with this bass or it’s concept. This German ministry is responsible for everything business related in Germany
@@selfactualizer2099Because unless extended scale or fanned Frets, the regular bass guitar doesn't have proper tension across the strings for the Low B...
Scale length should not be overrated - let's think out of the box and accept that there is innovation. Nowadays there are even 30" scale basses with low B strings out there - so why should it not work on a 32" ?
Great sounding and versatile but barring a lottery win I would never be able to pay $5500 for a bass. The Sire M7s have two humbuckers with individual three-way switching, passive/active switch, and the same eq options as the Spock. They're incredibly versatile at 20% of the cost. I got my first one over a year ago and still when I pick one up, which is almost every day, I get a little goosebumpish.
Wow, that looks, uh......really fragile. Like I can think of a at least a couple of gigging incidents that only put a ding in the top or back of one of my solid basses that seem like they would have punched a hole straight through that top...
@@basstheworldofficial but the bass players I work with change the control occasionally from one song to the next... Even that would be awkward on stage with the controls on the back... Again, I'm not a bass player, just confused with this design choice and trying to learn something
1:27, PLEASE stop doing that to bass necks! I love this bass, I love the tone, the scale length and the fact its fairly light. But I'm sorry, its nowhere near worth 5200 €
I tried a Marleaux for the first time at a MusikMesse some years ago. Amazing and unique bass guitars! Unfortunely they are very expansive, so not anyone can afford one of them.. but hey: not anyone can buy neither a Lamborghini or a Ferrari right? It’s kinda same thing with instruments like these.
I mean, it's a thing of beauty and sounds lovely but a bit too many harmonics on the lower strings for what I'd do unless I did something bonkers like tuned it D-G-C-F-Bb which would drive me insane but would be fun!
