Marleaux Soprano

Marleaux is a bass company located in Germany and founded by Gerald Marleaux.

Marleaux has been building basses since 1990, and his unparalleled passion for quality and attention to detail has led to him being acknowledged as one of the greatest builders currently around.

Gerald hand-picks the wood in the local area around his workshop and treats the woods like a true artisan. Time and attention is put into proper storage, treatment and drying of the woods so their inherent sonic characteristics and qualities shine through uncompromised.

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.
An 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.
