    That's way more convenient.

    I think, it's time for a new bathroom scale.

    Erm, Chris, are you sure about the weight of this one : 6.2 kilos, even my heavier 6 strings didn't get any higher that 5.5 kilos !?!

    As a former professional photographer, I'll always remember what one of our teachers said to a student complaining about his "cheap" camera : "There is no bad camera, there are only bad photographers." That said, the more I listen to Victor Wooten, the more I hate slap. And he can be a damn good bass player, ... finger style. Were they recording some elevator music ? So boring and uninspired. And he is explaining the slaughter at the end, funny. 😱

    For those interested in turning it into fretless, I can send the neck to Christian NOGUERA who can do the job for 135 Euros (plus shipping fee to him, return fee is included in the price) and within a week...

    Remember my almost endless list, have owned around 200 basses and still have 11. They all sound different of course, but not when I play them. It's a hard to admit fact : you'll always have the same sound whatever bass you will play and I'm not speaking of tweaking the amp sound, I'm speaking of what gets out the bass when you play. That's why you are human and not a robot. Make a simple experiment with a fellow bassist, play a bass at a precise position where both of you hear (quite) the same sound and then let your pal do the same : there will be a huge difference because you have both your inner sound that you'll always tend to hear, which is affected by endless factors including your technique, of course, and even weirder ones like education and what you eat...

    There is no best bass in the world as you will always have the same sound whatever bass you play, but I must admit the ergonomics will make the difference. In this case it's the Leduc U-Basse. And I used to have 3 Alfa 33.

    It is indeed.

    Back to the tracks, the under layer is not brass, but already Patrice Vigier Delta Metal. And those early wooden necks Vigier are the best ones. Too bad you can't ask it in Gaumais and it's missing a string for me. Are you sure your donkey is also named Gary ?

    If you ask it in Gaumais, maybe. 🤣

    French is my mother tongue. Italian is my grandmother mother tongue. German is my great grandmother mother tongue. English is my studied language.

    Mit Google ist es einfach, aber ich spreche wirklich Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch und auch Italienisch.

    The neck is made out of wenge and maple with a rosewood fretboard. The wings of the body are made out of maple.

    Bonne chance pour ta vente, mec. Très bon prix pour une très bonne et très rare basse. Juste un plus de précision dans le jeu sans les frettes et tout sera parfait. Next time, I'll write in German or Italian.

    Looks like the OP has gone in the woods to hang himself. 😁

    Thanks, I love this. It's really pleasant to the ears. I reminds me of Erkan Oğur playing classical Turkish music on fretless guitar.
  21. Hellzero
    Thanks everyone and extra special to @HumblePie as I'm a huge fan of Anthony Jackson.

    Christian NOGUERA can "fretless" it with maple lines for 135 Euros. I know the price as I already asked him...

A real high end bass in mint condition at a low price. It's even beautifuller in the flesh than on the photos. The bass is really even and smooth sounding with great dynamics.

The bass has been fully set up and everything checked. Non smoking environment, as usual. Asking price is £1400 GBP due to the mint condition of this bass. Noguera link : https://www.noguera-basses.com/basses_serie.php?serie_b=Expression Look at the pictures to see the real condition (under different lights to try to capture the real beauty of the woods and the craftsmanship), which show the mint condition of this bass... I've pictured everything as usual, but if you want more photos, just ask.

    Everything is clearly explained in the article linked by @Sibob. In fact, it took me years to understand why I couldn't stand the piano until a skilled piano tuner explained me what he was doing, that famous "equal temperament". From then, I think my brain accepted it, but sometimes it still hurts, like when a guitar player is badly playing chords, bendind notes in them without even knowing it.
  25. Hellzero
    No, not everybody, only fretted or fixed tuned instruments are out of tune, the worse of all being the piano. It took me years if not decades to appreciate the piano, and it must be played by a talented pianist, simply because of the tension in the chords. And no, I don't have perfect pitch, simply a quite well trained ear.
