[quote name='paulflan0151' timestamp='1361666014' post='1989166'] This used to be mine! It is a awesome bass. Les built me a few bases back in the day before he retired. I bought his equipment and have started [url="http://www.13guitarco.com"]http://www.13guitarco.com[/url] under his tutelage. I have a build thread on this forum. A fine example of a fretless bass with all the growl and mwah you could want. It also has some major carving on the bottom bout of the bass. I should try and pry les out of retirement to build a few basses in my workshop. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] nice one Paul..I had if fretted...it is a great bass..I have another 6 er..got into 6 ers because I thought I'd like soloing in the upper ranges...the truth is I prefer 4/5 ers. Great to meet the original owner..I got in touch with Les a few years back looking for an insurance quote..he told me that it would cost £3-4000 to build another...and of course £20 for a quote :-)

ok so its not a 5...but its top notch..and has frets..interested in a trade for [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198660-fsft-les-evans-custom-6-olive-wood-l1750/page__p__1980939__hl__les%20evans__fromsearch__1#entry1980939"]THIS..[/url]..??

"SURELY SOMEONE HAS SOMETHING INTERESTING TO TRADE ?????" BUMP

lets try again bump.

one last time bump.

Are you interested in a trade for a world class 6 string?

Bump.

[quote name='Bass Culture' timestamp='1360054146' post='1963969'] I have no affiliation with the seller but having played this when Les had it in for service a few years back I can say with confidence that this bass is simply stunning. I don't think Les is building anymore but, having owned three Les Evans basses I'd have to say that they are on a par with anything I've ever played. The build quality is superb and his eye for detail (look at the fingerboard, the partial recessing of the control knobs etc.) elevated some of his builds to works of art. I also had the same combination of EMGs and East preamp (looks like a u-retro?) on a couple of the basses Les made for me and they sounded lovely. On this occasion the claim of Fodera league build quality is [b]not[/b] seller's hyperbole - this bass is worth every penny of the seller's asking price and I would humbly suggest it might actually represent something of a bargain. I know I sound like I'm going over the top but when I saw this is Les's workshop I must have spent about ten minutes just looking at it before it even occurred to me to play it! This will make someone a very, very happy bunny. [/quote] I don't know you..but a big thank you! Glad someone knows for sure that I'm not exaggerating...thanks again Mr Bass Culture.

Hi, would you be interested in a trade for http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198660-fsft-les-evans-custom-6-olive-woodbubinga/ ??

[quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1360009168' post='1963559'] Wow. It's like a curvy organic manta-ray type bass. A seriously good looking bass... [/quote] Thanks...you've got some nice basses too.

Up for sale is my Les Evans 6..I've owned it for a while now..its a beauty. Les is based in Liverpool I believe, and one built to this spec would now cost you in excess of £3500. I am asking £1750 or best offer. Pick ups are EMG's, preamp is John East (18v). The build quality is in the same league as Fodera. looking for trades...if you have a Schack Carbonite...5 string...or another boutique 5 preferably fretless 5 Try me you never know. Check the pics,,its amazing in looks and sounds.[attachment=126809:DSCF9085_1.jpg][attachment=126810:DSCF9086_1.jpg][attachment=126811:DSCF9087_1.jpg][attachment=126812:DSCF9089_1.jpg][attachment=126813:DSCF9050.jpg]
