Note: This item is used. There is a small scratch, approximately 4mm in diameter, on the body, very difficult to see, visible only when held up to the light (see mark). Otherwise, it is in excellent and very well-maintained condition. One zipper pull is missing from the gig bag (this does not affect the opening and closing of the gig bag).

A powerful, growling, and warm fundamental tone! At first glance, this bass appears traditional. Marleaux has continued and redefined this tradition with the Votan XS! Its balanced design, lightweight yet superbly crafted construction, and slim, fast neck provide a perfect playing experience!
The Delano JSBC pickups produce growling bass frequencies, a robust midrange, and a clear treble spectrum. The traditional pickup placement gives the Votan XS a truly unique and defined sound.
