Soundsample of Marleaux BassGuitars Mbass fretless
played by Wolfgang Bachmann.

Big fundamental, growl, warm

The eye-catchin "single cut" Marleaux shape melds playability with ergonomics. The mBass hangs perfectly balanced on the player in the ideal position. The unique wood construction "glued-through" is responsible for the mBass's direct tone with a big fundamental, an earty character and a warm timbre. To complete the the basses natural long sustain is a long list of woods selected for their sonic characteristics, from which the customer can design his dream bass.

Soundsample of Marleaux BassGuitars CONTRA
played by Heiko Jung.

We are proud to introduce our first semi-acoustic bass guitar, the Contra. The Contra is made with the same materials as fine violins and bass viols. The result is a dynamic, responsive, and harmonically rich instrument.

Hear the true voice of this bass in passive mode - woody and acoustic. In active mode this inherent voice is enhanced and taken to a new level. The ergonomic design works well on a strap or in your lap.

played by Jürgen Attig.

An unusual fun way to play is what you get from this boutique super-short scale bass with a 57 cm (22.44") scale. The sound radiates a powerful piano string likeness - ever responsive to the nuances of a Player, punches through with a rich sustain to stand in front of the mix. The included octaver helps when necessary for filling out the sound in an ensemble. Despite the diminutive appearance, you can really pull out a depth of sound without dirtying the bass's natural clarity.

to the crystal clear highs.
