[u]FS & TRADES: Les Evans Custom fretless 4 - includes additional fretted neck[/u] [b]SOLD! FINAL PRICE REDUCTION[/b] [b][u]Cash Sale only[/u].[/b] I am selling my beautiful Les Evans Custom fretless 4 string to make way for a new Zoot that will be arriving before too much longer. Owned by me from new and built to my spec about ten years ago it sounds every bit as phenomenal as it looks: [url="https://ibb.co/kdS0FQ"][/url] Les is based in Liverpool and was well known when his profile was higher a few years ago. I believe he's since given up making instruments and mainly teaches guitar now but we lost contact a few years back. I think I remember someone selling a six string bass of his on BC 2 or 3 years back. The spec of my bass is: Body: Walnut Neck: 7 piece laminate of wenge and maple - soft 'V' profile Scale length: 34" Nut: 1.5" String spacing: 20mm at bridge Fingerboard: Wenge with maple lines and wenge binding; dots in fret positions on top edge Bridge: Hipshot 'A' type in Gold Tuners: Schaller Pickups: EMG HZ (passive) humbuckers Pre-amp: John East U-retro with coil taps (I think, could be phase reversal or series/parallel, I can't remember) for each pickup. Weight: 9lbs (very) approximately Recessed jack socket Sculpted and recessed neck joint for comfort Curved body It's a beautiful bass and drew many admiring comments when I took it to the NW Bass Bash recently but I'm finding medium scale basses working for me a bit better now, hence the new Zoot. The combination of the EMG's and East circuit means there's a huge range of tones available and it sings and growls with the best of them. If anyone's after a unique and high quality fretless this will do the job and then some. I would encourage anyone who's interested to come over to sunny Chester for a play, where tea will be forthcoming and perhaps even a biscuit. Mike Walsh of Iceni Zoot fame made an [b][u]additional, fretted neck[/u][/b] for the bass also, which is included. Same nut width but slightly more traditional profile - still fast and comfortable though. This attaches with wood screws though rather than captive bolts. So, [b]two basses for the price of one[/b]!

NO offers. I'd be willing to consider taking payment[b] in 2 or 3 instalments if preferred. NOW SOLD.[/b] I'm happy to deliver for petrol money up to, say, 60 miles or so from Chester. At present I have no suitable packaging for couriering it but I can likely pick something up from my local music shop so delivery is do-able too. Please read my feedback or contact me with any questions or clarifications. Edited with additional photos.

Great amp - that is a crazy price! GLWTS

PM'ed.

[quote name='Nord' timestamp='1488308289' post='3247798'] Still available folks and just to clarify it's this model https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/PITCHBLACKPORTRD/tuners-metronomes/korg-pitchblack-portable-polyphonic-tuner-in-red?LGWCODE=PITCHBLACKPORTRD;56375;6335&gclid=CIjihOCss9ICFcSfGwod8dwF3w [/quote] I'll have this please. Do you want to PM me payment details. Cheers, BC

Had one. Loved it. Brilliant cab at a great price. GLWTS.

Aw, dang it...PM'ed.

Do you still have the feet that appear to be missing from the underside?

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1486639922' post='3233419'] I'm in the fortunate position of having both an RH750 and TF750A... The TF is basically better... Even though I love the presets and tuner on my RH750 and it sounds great, the TF simply sounds more "there",,, [/quote] Get thee behind me, Satan!

I've been looking at this for the past twelve months. Never had the funds or motive as I'm dead happy with my TC RH750. Always wanted to try one though and I may be coming into a small amount of £'s in a couple of weeks so I'm sort of hoping someone buys this before then...

I don't know why Laney don't get more love - they're a kind of like a British (or maybe 'British') Peavey, it seems to me. Good quality kit with decent basic tone with sensible and flexible tone shaping capabilities. I used one of their amps at a rehearsal a while back and was really impressed with it. GLWTS.
