Bacci Marleo 5 String - Velvet Peach with Parato Waves

Description The Bacci Marleo 5 String in Velvet Peach with Parato Waves is a statement piece that blends modern artistry with serious, player focused engineering. From the first glance, the finish sets the tone. Velvet Peach is warm, refined, and expressive, while the Parato Waves add movement and depth that feel alive under stage lights. It is unmistakably contemporary, yet grounded in classic instrument craftsmanship. At the heart of the Marleo is a Red Alder body finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the instrument to resonate freely and age gracefully over time. The balance is immediately apparent, helped by a comfortable 32 inch scale length that delivers a slightly softer feel without sacrificing clarity or low end authority. At 9 lb 4 oz, this bass feels solid and substantial while remaining gig friendly. The figured maple neck, also finished in nitrocellulose, offers a fast, natural feel that encourages long sessions without fatigue. A 12 inch radius ebony fingerboard with 22 frets provides a smooth, precise playing surface, ideal for everything from deep pocket grooves to articulate melodic lines. The 19mm string spacing gives the right amount of room for confident right hand technique, whether you play fingerstyle, slap, or with a pick. Tone is where the Marleo truly shines. The Nordstrand P and MM pickup configuration delivers a huge sonic range, from thick, authoritative low end to punchy mids and articulate highs. Paired with the Nordstrand 3 band active preamp, the bass offers exceptional control and flexibility, making it easy to dial in sounds for studio precision or live performance impact. Aluminum knobs add a clean, tactile feel and reinforce the instrument’s modern aesthetic. Hardware is purpose built and uncompromising. Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep the headstock light and stable, improving balance and tuning reliability. The custom Bacci Marleo brass bridge anchors the strings with sustain and definition, contributing to the bass’s focused, confident voice. Bruno Bacci’s approach to instrument building is evident in every detail. His designs prioritize the player, combining visual boldness with ergonomic comfort and tonal versatility. Bruno’s instruments are not just built to be admired, but to be used, explored, and trusted in real musical environments. The Marleo 5 String reflects his belief that a great bass should inspire creativity the moment it is in your hands. This bass ships in a Bacci custom logo hardshell case, ready to protect a truly distinctive instrument that stands out in sound, feel, and design.
