Played this bass ,it's very nice,lovely slim neck EDIT; Actually i've played two Les Evans basses and they were both quality builds

Walplayer : thank you. how long ago did you sell the AFR ? [/quote] Think about a year ago. The saman wood on mine was boring compared to yours though!! I also had a 304 that was excellent too.

However, if someone posts a bass for sale with a solid price (Not asking for an opinion) and someone criticises the price in public then that could be a warnable offense.[/quote] Sold my 5 string afr 105 for £780 .They're a quality handmade instrument and light as a feather on a strap. The bit's on the control cavity are individual piezo gain controls. Good luck with the sale!

Hey MikeyD can't believe you're selling this!!!!!!! Bit more info if it helps ; Top is a non original spruce replacement ,this and the neck fix were done by a builder/repairer named Thomas Alexander from Newcastle and were done around 1959/60.He told the person that bought it from him it was a turn of the century student instrument. Can't remember what he said the fingerboard was ,was either painted beech or maple. Good luck with the sale is a nice instrument.

phew! Think i've answered all pm's now on this ,sorry for delay. ON HOLD PENDING

[quote name='evoman' post='727132' date='Jan 27 2010, 11:52 PM']Is the fretboard coated? it looks shiny for ebony or ebanol. Are there any grooves in the fretboard surface?[/quote] Not much string marks if thats what you mean ...and the string marks that are there polish out.Yeah i think is ebonol as mentioned earlier up the thread. Come try it out if you're interested.

There's 2 companies making them. The site that you've linked to is the cheaper Korean version. Here's the Japanese site. [url="http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/"]http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~tune/[/url] If you search around they've got a gallery of the custom orders that they've made. This one's an 86 that I'm selling [quote name='BBass' post='724770' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:51 AM']Surprised they still make them as I haven't seen one for years. Just checked their website though (www.tuneguitars.com) and they make quite a few different models. Prices seem pretty reasonable too... Bryan[/quote]

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='719209' date='Jan 20 2010, 04:24 PM']These basses are superb! The fingerboard is ebonol, I think! We had two in stock when I were a lad working at Music Village - lovely! Highly recommended! Nick[/quote] Cheers Nick Think i remember them selling them,think they did a 3 octave version too!! Pete
