The Marleo V boasts an alder body, a choice that promises a balanced tonal foundation with ample warmth and clarity. This wood selection ensures that the bass delivers a versatile sound palette, suitable for a myriad of musical genres. The Seafrost Green finish not only adds a visually striking element but also highlights the meticulous craftsmanship.

The flamed maple neck paired with a figured roasted maple fingerboard is a combination that speaks volumes about the bass’s premium quality. This pairing not only offers stunning visuals but also enhances the playability and response of the instrument. The roasting process reduces the wood’s susceptibility to humidity and temperature changes, making roasted maple necks and fingerboards more stable and less prone to warping or twisting over time. This increased stability means that instruments with roasted maple components can maintain their setup and playability more consistently. The roasting process tends to enhance the wood’s natural resonance and sustain. It gives a slightly warmer, more pronounced tone from roasted maple necks and fingerboards. This warmth does not come at the expense of maple’s characteristic brightness but rather adds a dimension of depth to the sound.

At the heart of the Marleo V’s sonic prowess are the Nordstrand 3-band preamp and Nordstrand Pickups (NP5V and NJ5V). This setup delivers a wide range of tonal possibilities, from deep, growling lows to crisp, clear highs. The 3-band preamp offers precise control over the bass’s sound, enabling players to sculpt their tone with finesse, whether they’re aiming for a punchy slap bass or a smooth, jazz-inspired sound.

With a 32″ scale length, the Marleo V is designed for comfort and ease of playability. This scale length strikes the perfect balance between tension and flexibility.
