Could you please give us a few answers ? Scale ? String spacing at nut and bridge ? Weight ? Thanks a lot.

A Sunday (in all terms) bass : simply beautiful !

For those into 5 strings (which is not my case), go on, this is one of the best bass around. At the time I sold my real 1964 P-Bass to buy a brand new BB Nathan East and didn't regret it at all, except that I had to pay some little extra money for the official hardcase... And the asking price is simply ridiculously low. GLWYS.

Very nice job ! If it sounds like it looks, it just must be very good.

So, is it for sale or not, finally ?

I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man, ... ;-)

PM'ed again. ;-)

What are the scale and weight ? Thanks.

Traded partially.

On hold.

Indeed. Thanks.

PM'ed.

Amazing fretless with fully usable piezos and what a sound...

PM answered.

New link to the pictures made today added.

Indeed, and you are the winner. :-)

I could do it, no problem, the difference should be around 75 Euros, but I need to check...

Tuners : Yamaha/Gotoh (3 + 3) Bridge : Yamaha original with piezo saddles String spacing at bridge : 19 mm Nut : bone String spacing at nut : 9,5 mm Knobs : metal gold Scale : standard 34" Hardware colour : gold Colour : lightly waxed natural (excellent paint removal job made by Christian NOGUERA) Year of production : end of the 80's first generation with one trussrod Land of production : Japan Serial number : unknown Weight : 4,6 kg (very light for a TRB6P) Action : 2,5 mm under the B string at 12th fret Will come with the original brown case with blue lining. Non smoking environment as usual. Sounds very good with lots of mwah and the defretting job is very good (made by Christian NOGUERA just like the pickups installation and paint removal). The bass has been fully set up professionally and has a new battery as well as a new set of Dean Markley SR2000 strings (27-127) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'll make some better pictures in natural light later, as it looks way much better...

Fully original and untouched which is also quite rare. Non smoking environment as usual. Sounds even better than a Wal certainly due to the better construction (I’ve owned a fretted and a fretless MK1). The bass has been fully set up professionally and has a new battery as well as a new set of La Bella Super Steps strings (45-105). I'll make some better pictures in natural light later, as these ones are from the previous owner and it looks way much better without dust and finger traces... ;-) [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%202_zpswpzshpjr.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%203_zpspshx2urx.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%207_zpstfqi6q9k.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%204_zpszfjwscck.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%205_zps9cejeglo.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%206_zpspa3ihc3l.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%208_zps95t53bzs.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%2011_zpsmy1gezek.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%2013_zpsdmlskah8.jpg.html"][/url] Other pictures on request.

You can deal with Hugues in confidence, and this bass is a beast (the titanium adds a new dimension to the sound). Don't be afraid by the 36 inches, you won't even notice them... And if you are after THE one and only bass, don't look any further. GLWYS.
