    Hi, Thanks everybody ! Tony.

    Hi, Really beautiful. How is that maple neck sounding ? Heavily compressed like Fender or more opened ? Tony.

    Hi, Terrific job ! I've been building something like a dozen of instruments on my side, but your job is fantastic. My last is this one almost 10 years ago, but it's gone now, to a better home, I hope. [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Byl%206%20Fretless%205%20picture_zpsakothkja.jpg.html"][/url] And by the way, you are right, dressing the frets is always a pain in the ass (sorry for being crude), that's why I prefer fretless. Just two questions, won't it be too heavy and unbalanced, because of the tuners ? Proficiat !!! Tony.

    Hi again, By the way, I also owned two Zeta Crossover (4 and 5), but didn't like the sound that was too fretless for a "double bass". And I think the scale is too short. Tony.

    Hi, Quite strangely, it's very close to a real acoustic double bass. I've owned Jesse's own 6 strings and also an NS Design EU 4 strings after the Ergo and now my long awaited Leduc Contr-U-Bass 6 strings (again). It's a real bargain, even if it looks a bit "nude", don't be fooled by that. I sold it only because I found a low ball selling NS Design EU-4, which is more versatile, period. Then I sold the EU-4, because of this Leduc. GLWYS, Tony.

    Hi, So, I started playing the bass some 32 years ago with a piece of sh*t called Maya, a P-Bass like... I sold it to get drunk by the end of my scientific photograph studies, and it was worth to do it. I also sold a fully original Korg MS-20 for 1000 BEF (25 Euros !!!) at the time as nobody was interested in this keyboard, still regretting it today. Then I bought, with my first salary, a second hand Aria Diamond (Hofner 500/1 copy) that Christophe Leduc turned into fretless as I wanted to play without frets. And it all started with a few bands and awful gigs. It was by that time that I started to gas... I've owned something like 300 basses and a 100 amps, quite normal for a musician, no ? By now, and 2 cd's later, I'm not playing in a band anymore as I'm fed up with those nasty, badly paid and useless gigs and rehearsals, but I think it won't last. I'm a 6 strings fan, more on the fretless side. Gas on, Tony.

    Hi, Great bass, I owned one some years ago, quite easy to set up and pickups must be aligned to work at the best. GLWYS, Tony.

    Superb, too bad it's a 5 string. GLWYS. Tony.

    . New price lowered a bit (see below) : £4375. Here is my real well worn 1968 Fender Jazz Bass. Look at the pictures below : they speak for themselves... It comes with two (2) necks : the original with pre CBS logo with matching body stamps on the heel, extra strap button on the back of the headstock, new brazilian rosewood dotted fingerboard (and trussrod + of course binding) and lollipop tuners, which has been converted into fretless by french luthier Christophe Leduc + another one original 1968 Fender fretted neck with the CBS logo (bought during the conversion as it took 6 monthes...). The hard case is worn like the bass. The real tortoise pickguard is shrunk like it should be on a 47 years old instrument. Sounds terrific with both necks, all the growl you need on the fretless and the balls on the fretted. I can ship anywhere in the world, I've done it hundreds of times. New here, but not on AudioMarkt ([url="http://www.audio-markt.de/_markt/feedback.php?id=45684&item_id=9772696861&faction=show"]http://www.audio-mar...61&faction=show[/url]), Audiogon (Hellzero), Zikinf (Hellzero), eBay ([url="http://feedback.befr.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=lebyl&ftab=AllFeedback"]http://feedback.befr...tab=AllFeedback[/url]), ... Preferably trade against a 6 strings (fretless or fretted) bass of the other big F's (Fodera, F-Bass), but feel free to offer anything else : I'll answer as quick as possible.

    Hi, Is this Paul Belgrado bass still for sale ? I'm living in Belgium too and know what a luthier and bass player Paul Belgrado is. Hope to hear from you soon.
