Noguera Yves Carbonne Signature 8 Fretless: really a very rare bass as only two copies were made for right-handers. Big price drop, because an instrument that interests me has just been put on sale. See the original photos here and compare to mine to see it only has the optional ramp glued; the woods have also darkened: https://www.noguera-basses.com/modele_basse.php?serie_b=YC&model_b=Signature Yves Carbonne&page=photos&categories=Serie YC&galeries=YC Signature Yves Carbonne&nopage=5&ppp=6#galerie TRADES NOW POSSIBLE! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €3500 Euros (£2950 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! A similar model with all these specifications will cost you around 7000 Euros if Christian Noguera agrees to build one as it's absolutely not a standard model at all... Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Here are the specifications : Body: one piece hollowed (acoustic chamber) mahogany Top: 2 pieces spruce Neck: bolt-on (7 screws) 3 pieces maple Fingerboard: Gabon ebony Positions (fretless): 25 on the low F# up to 36 on the high F string, so 5 octaves 11/12 or 6 octaves minus 1 half tone! Headstock: 4 + 4 Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite Made in U.S.A. Pickups: 1 Noguera single coil hum cancelling in Gabon ebony cover and 1 Noguera piezo system under the brass adjustable saddles Preamps: Aguilar OBP-3 for the magnetic pickup coupled to a Noguera piezo preamp and a Fishman PowerChip buffer allowing the signal to be separated with a (provided) stereo to two mono jacks or both signals to a mono jack Controls : magnetic volume (push-pull active/passive for the magnetic only), piezo volume, stacked bass and mids (yes mids), treble Bridge: original 2 pieces Noguera ebony/brass saddles/piezo Strings spacing at bridge: 20 mm (yes 20 mm) Nut: bone Strings spacing at nut: 9 mm (width 73 mm) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: black Truss rods: two, dual action, 100% functional (the two different Allen key are, of course, provided) Finish: natural satin Country of origin: France Serial number: 8002 Year: 16/08/2008 Weight: 5.145 kilos Action : from 2 mm under the F string to 2.5 mm under the F# string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a superb Hiscox STD-EBP with its two keys. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally and will come with the Dunlop Straplok for the strap as these are recessed (or flush mount) version. It has received a new battery and new set of La Bella Super Steps made to measure for Yves Carbonne (20 - 29 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 110 - 140 - 190), which really serve this bass as they are made especially for it. What you see is what you get! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is excellent, with the usual very light scratches and a very slight mark at the back near the neck screws. Here is the link 33 photos in high definition: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NX7nk0AXTG_BlSgF1lpoHsHx3teAgYQK Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
