On the gluboost website there are some videos how to use it. When you follow these steps I’m convinced you can fix it invisibly! Succes!

Glu Boost fill and finish! It’s a kind of superglue. fill the spot, sand it, polish it and you won’t even see it anymore. I’ve repaired a lot of cracks and dents with it.

Beautiful!! I really like these basses. Never had the chance to play one but I’m curious..

Sometimes (like now) I do regret that I let this one go… but you can’t keep all your basses…

I had trouble getting a decent price for it also… it was quite an expensive bass when I bought it though (I believe around the 4000 Dutch Guilders). the highest bid I got was 900€…. eventually someone wanted to trade it for a stingray. (Which I sold because I didn’t like the color), then I bought a natural stingray back.. I always prefer natural wood basses.

I sold it to buy a stingray back then. The stingray is gone also... that one i do mis. I still have a brochure of Leader somewhere, i'll make a copy to post it one of these days!

I played one from around 1991 till 2002 somewhere. It’s was a great bass, a bit of a Warwick kind of vibe. The body is pretty small so when I grew older (and a bit fatter 😂), it didn’t suit me anymore😉.. Mine had bartolini pickups. It sounded great and played really nice. Fantastic build quality! Here’s me slapping the Leader back in 91 or 92…

That’s a gourgious bass! congrats on that one! Andre is indeed a great luthier.

Besides the already mentioned points, the bracing is different for both sides (bass and treble) so therefore the acoustic sound won’t be optimal..

That’s gonna be a beauty!!!

Wow, these are stunning basses! What a craftsmanship!!

I’m building a copy of my Wal MK1 at the moment. Lusithand double NFP special MK2 preamp and Turner multicoil PU’s. I hope to finish it by February next year. As soon as it’s ready I’ll post a build diary with pics. I’m very curious how it will play and sound compared to my real Wal…

What a good choice to switch to Bass! It automaticly makes you the coolest guy of the band! welcome!
