More to come, stay tuned.

Show your Leduc's and be proud of it ! I'll start with this batch of 4 Mastepiece's taken right now, from top to bottom : Masterpiece MP 628 SF, Masterpiece MP 524, Masterpiece MP 524, Masterpiece HMP 624.

I've just copyrighted this : I'm now going to sue everyone and become very rich. 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈

Beware of the green dragon.

At the very optimistic price he's asking he could offer the Gator gig bag (it's not a case) and the strap...

And take a full insurance, of course.

Couriers specialised in antiques and wines can do a great job. Other than that, I wouldn't do it with any other courier unless I'm totally sure that the harp is perfectly packed (which is something I can do myself, but I'm not in your area at all). Anyhow, it won't be cheap.

It is. I own one. Just ask @Stub Mandrel as he owns one too.

Nobody wanted them anymore in the late 80's and 90's. I sold mine for peanuts at the time too.

Exactly £13,272 GBP as the hammer fee is 26.4% including VAT. @Happy Jack, you're rich !

£15,000 to £20,000 GBP or even more. It's a piece of history and the one and only owner is known, so not a fake or a rebuild or a modified one, hence it will go high, very high as it can be used to certify authenticity of other identical models.

Depending on your budget and power needed there are these two Joyo amps : https://www.thomann.de/gb/joyo_ma_10b_portable_bass_amp.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/joyo_badass.htm

It's where it should be. I like to answer questions.

Funny to react like this, it's not bullsh*t. U.K. is outside the EEC and you know it. Why would you expect a faster customs treatment with no duties ? They receive thousands of parcels each and every day from or to people trying to smuggle on the price, content and declared value, so THIS is what is slowing the process a lot ! Stop taking them for fools and it will be fine (no, I'm not affiliated to the customs at all, but I really hate this useless moaning) If you want your parcel faster than fast, as I wrote, use TNT Express or the likes as they have their own customs process, you'll be amazed. Or simply buy in the EEC if you live there or in the U.K. if you live there : problem solved and no useless moaning.

There was a Fernandes Sustainer bass built in 1995, the ASB-100. https://reverb.com/item/29209055

There's a Gizmotron for sale in Germany. I've been tempted a few times to hit the buy button, but it seems so fragile that I came to mind each time. https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/gizmotron-2-0-bass.23528/

Not several decades, but exactly one.

This is what got Christophe LEDUC in the Guinness book, the separable bass that allows you to have one double neck bass or two single basses : http://leduc.fr/index.php/basses/aliens

The intonation with different strings (rounds vs flats) and maybe even gauge will be very different. If you intonate by ear, then why bother having an exact fretless replica (including the nut position) of the fretted neck... There's something wrong here.

Out of curiosity, how much does it weight ? Superb looking Wal, that said.

And strangely no fretless... Strange as it's what put his career on orbit.
