Press comments

Dutch professional journal Gitarist (July, 1994) on the Marcus 7-string bass guitar:

"The bass guitar is excellently built (...), brilliantly finished, the sound is excellent and string-to-string volume balance is good."
"An extension to the bass vocabulary."
"As a builder, Marc Terreur is open to all possibilities and desires. The Marcus bass is also available in 4-, 5- or 6-string versions, both fretted or fretless, left- and right-handed. Or have your own design built... quality is what you get."

Here's that same magazine's opinion on the Marcus Unicorn 4-string bass (November, 1999) :

"(...) sound and sustain are good."

"The balance of the instrument is optimal."

"(...) quality basses without exception."

Dutch professional journal GitaarPlus (March/April 2005) covers the Marcus SST Nuvola:

"In the last decade, Marc has shown he knows how to build a flawless guitar. Combined with your unique fantasies, you get a dream come true. Michele Cordaro (owner of the test guitar, note MT) is already convinced and so am I."

"The advantage of a professional, custom built guitar is that you get the specs you want, but usually at a somewhat higher price. In this case, even the price is more than acceptable."

"You can tell by his well thought out creations: he gives it all he's got."

And a short comment on the Marcus 7-string bass:
"Building a 7-string bass guitar as your very first instrument might well be considered crazy. But what's really crazy, is that 12 years later, this bass is still unmodified and in perfect playing condition."
