Ken Lawrence basses are amongst the best and Flavius is also amongst the best.

Thanks for your comments mates. 😊

Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (66% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. ACG Finn R Type Fretless 5 Custom Spec Level, November 2014. ONLY POSSIBLE TRADE : LEDUC U-BASSE FRETLESS 6 !

Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has received a new battery and has been fitted with a brand new set of La Bella White Nylon Tape Wound 750T-B-XL strings (50 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 135T). Certainly one of the best fiver fretless around. Top luthier build quality (Alan Cringean is in the top ten, for sure) and a sound to die for. The neck is a pleasure to play and the sound has tons of mwah. The original preamp was an ACG EQ-01 (there's a mistake on the website confirmed by Alan himself), then @Bass Wielder put a John East Uni-Pre and I removed it to put an ACG EQ-02 so I had the opportunity to put two (2) passive tones with oiled paper capacitors that are softening a bit the very fast attack, but maintaining the long decay. And you still can use the two filters to tailor your sound. The La Bella White Nylons are simply perfect for this bass (and any fretless, by the way) as they allow you to make very fast slides and also small accents with dramatic effect. There is absolutely no neck diving. I'm only selling it due to my health problems as it's really too heavy for my broken back.

Look at the photos taken under different angles and light to see the excellent condition of this bass. Some very minor scratches and very small dings impossible to photograph.

I think it's £2700 GBP. 😉 Look the second line up there, in the title.

GLWYS for a fantastic bass ! And Rick Turner used to work for Alembic (original partner, in fact) before creating his own brand in 1978. Maybe he has written it somewhere in his website, that said.
